The summary describes image processing, 3D reconstruction, tracking, and measurement tools, but does not mention any AI or ML algorithms being used for these functions.
No
The device is intended for enhanced visualization of ultrasound imaging of the prostate and does not directly treat or cure any illness or disease.
Yes
The device is described as "assisting clinicians in planning and performing image-guided interventional procedures such as biopsies" and providing information so the "physician can assess prostate abnormalities." These functions indicate it aids in the identification or assessment of a medical condition.
No
The device description explicitly states that Fusion Bx is comprised of a laptop-based workstation and a hardware assembly, including components like a frame grabber, encoder converter, hardware arm, and stand. This indicates it is not a software-only device.
Based on the provided information, Fusion Bx is not an In Vitro Diagnostic (IVD) device.
Here's why:
- IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostic devices are used to examine specimens taken from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
- Fusion Bx Function: Fusion Bx is an imaging system that enhances the visualization of ultrasound images of the prostate. It processes and displays images obtained directly from the patient's body using an ultrasound probe. It does not analyze samples taken from the body.
- Intended Use: The intended use is for "enhanced visualization of ultrasound imaging of the prostate" and assisting in "planning and performing image-guided interventional procedures such as biopsies." This is focused on image processing and guidance during a procedure, not on analyzing biological samples.
Therefore, Fusion Bx falls under the category of medical imaging and image-guided surgery devices, not In Vitro Diagnostics.

Device Description
Fusion Bx is designed to display the 2D live video received from commercially available ultrasound machines and use this 2D video to reconstruct a 3D ultrasound image volume. The system is designed to work with clinicians' existing ultrasound machines, transrectal ultrasound (TRUS) probes, commercially available needles, needle guides/templates and needle qun combination. Additional software features include patient data management, multi-planar reconstruction, segmentation, image measurements and 3D image registration. The device will assist clinicians in planning and performing image-guided interventional procedures such as biopsies and placing instruments in the prostate for adult men with suspected prostate cancer.
Fusion Bx is comprised of a laptop-based workstation and a hardware assembly. The included hardware consists of a frame grabber, encoder converter, hardware arm (comprising of a swing arm, counterbalance, tracker and stepper), and stand. The stepper holds the ultrasound probe and measures probe position while the physician performs a normal ultrasound imaging procedure of the subject prostate. Encoders in the stepper and tracker send joint movement procedure of the computer workstation which tracks probe position and orientation. Control of imontation to the oomputer wonetation tem is done manually by the physician, just as it would the altrasound probo and all.recome eyer, by tracking the position and orientation of the be in the absento of Pacion and in a video image, the workstation is able to reconstruct and ultiasound probe while capturing the nace integor ... o the prostate and to display the live image position within the prostate.

Intended Use/Indications for Use
Fusion Bx is intended for use by physicians for enhanced visualization of ultrasound imaging of the prostate in clinic and hospital settings. It provides 2D and 3D image visualization including review, manipulation, and analysis tools. Additional features include patient data management, image measurement, multiplanar reconstruction, 3D image registration, segmentation, image annotation, and recording of the locations where the biopsies were acquired during the procedure.
Substantial Equivalence
The product's technical features are substantially equivalent to the Eigen 3-D Imaging Workstation (K081093). Both are software applications that provide 2D and 3D medical image viewing and acquisition to aid visualization of the prostate gland. Both devices provide additional features which include patient data management, multi-planar reconstruction, prostate segmentation, image measurement and annotation, 3D surface/image registration, and recording the locations where biopsies were acquired during a procedure. In addition, both devices are composed of a mechanical assembly, and a computer-based workstation. The mechanical assembly holds the ultrasound probe and tracks probe position while the physician performs a normal ultrasound imaging procedure of the subject's prostate. Ultrasound system operation and transrectal probe movement all remain under manual control of the physician.
The differences between the two devices can be characterized as the minor addition or removal of features that have no impact on the overall safety or workflow of the device. These include:
- Minor differences in the mechanical assembly designed to achieve the same purpose, � i.e. to track the position and orientation of the ultrasound probe while capturing the ultrasound video image.
- Pay-per-use functionality of the Fusion Bx system. �
- Fusion Bx does not allow recording of video sequences. �
- The predicate device only supports an end-fire probe, whereas Fusion Bx supports both e a side-fire probe and a bi-plane probe (side- and end-fire). The reconstruction requires the probe to be in the side-fire mode, while biopsy navigation supports both side-fire and end-fire modes of operation.
These differences do not raise any safety or effectiveness concerns.
Testing and Performance Data
The Fusion Bx has been designed to comply with the following standards:
- ISO 14971: 2007 [2012] ו
- IEC 62304: 2006 l
- AAMI/ANSI ES 60601-1: 2005/(R)2005 + A1: 2012 (E) 1

Conclusion
The results of comparing the intended use, function, technological characteristics, mode of operation and specifications of Fusion Bx with those of the predicate device demonstrate that Fusion Bx is substantially equivalent to the existing product in the market today.
