No
The summary describes a standard electromagnetic navigation system that tracks the position of instruments relative to pre-operative scans. There is no mention of AI or ML in the device description, intended use, or performance studies. The core functionality is based on sensor tracking and display on pre-existing images.
No.
The device is described as an "aid for precisely locating anatomical structures" and a "navigated pointing device," which are functions related to surgical guidance and navigation, not directly treating a medical condition.
No
The device is described as an aid for precisely locating anatomical structures and a reusable instrument for electromagnetic navigation during surgical procedures. Its function is to display the position of instruments in preoperative scans, assisting in spatial awareness during surgery, rather than making a diagnosis.
No
The device description explicitly states it is a "reusable instrument" that incorporates a "sensor device" and is tracked by a "field generator," all of which are hardware components. While it uses navigation software, it is not solely software.
Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are medical devices used to perform tests on samples taken from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information about a person's health.
- Device Function: The description clearly states the device is a "GuideWire" and "FlexPointer" used for "precisely locating anatomical structures in either open or percutaneous procedures" with a navigation system. It is a surgical instrument used during a procedure to aid in navigation based on pre-operative imaging.
- Lack of Sample Testing: There is no mention of the device being used to test any biological samples from a patient. Its function is entirely related to surgical guidance and localization within the body.
The device is a surgical navigation tool, not a diagnostic test performed on a sample outside the body.

ട്. Device Description
The Fiagon Navigation - FlexPointer 1.5 is a reusable instrument intended to be used with the Fiagon Navigation system. The instrument is an electromagnetically navigated devices that is
- a. Navigated pointing devices (maleable, sensor within the tip)
Each device incorporates a sensor device, which is tracked by the navigation system with in the low-energy magnetic field of a field generator (part of the navigation system)
The navigation software (part of the navigation system) displays the position of the instruments in preoperative scans (e.g., CT, MRI, fluoroscopy)
6. Intended Use
The GuideWire 0.6 is intended as an aid for precisely locating anatomical structures in either open or percutaneous procedures. It is indicated for use with the Fiagon Navigation system using electromagnetic navigation.
It is indicated for any medical condition in which the use of stereotactic surgery may be appropriate, and where reference to a rigid anatomical structure in the field of ENT surgery. such as the paranasal sinuses, mastoid anatomy, can be identified relative to a CT or MR based model of the anatomy.
Example procedures include, but are not limited to:
ENT Procedures: Transphenoidal access procedures. Intranasal procedures. Sinus procedures, such as Maxillary antrostomies, Ethmoidectomies, Sphenoidotomies/Sphenoid explorations, Turbinate resections, and Frontal sinusotomies. ENT related anterior skull base procedures.
7. Comparison of Technological Characteristics
The substantial equivalence of the GuideWire 0.6 to the unmodified devices GuideWire and VenteraPointer is shown by similarity in intended use, indications for use, materials, and performance. All devices utilize:
- · Electromagnetic tracking technology for navigation included in surgical instruments
- flexible instruments enabled for image guidance
- · Instruments with tracking sensor at the instrument tip, precalibrated
- · Compatible to use in combination with verified cannulated instruments
5
The primary difference between the unmodified devices and the new device is geometrical change of the outer construction of the device (diameter and length). This different does not raise new issues of safety and effectiveness.
8. Performance Data
Testing was performed in order to determine device precision and accuracy. The following nonclinical tests were performed to determine substantial equivalence:
A mean bench accuracy of 1.27 mm (Standard deviation 0.4 mm) was measured for the new device. which compares to the values mean 1.24 mm (Standard deviation 0.44 mm) in an identical test setup.
The results supports the claim of substantial equivalence to the unmodified devices.
Testing was completed to ensure functionality and compatibility with the Fiagon Navigation system.
9. Conclusion
Based on the indications for use, technological characteristics, performance testing, and comparison to the predicates, the GuideWire 0.6 has been shown to be substantially equivalent to the comparable devices GuideWire and VenteraPointer, and does not present any new issues of safety or effectiveness.
