Intended Use
IPS CaseDesigner is indicated for use as a software and image segmentation system for the transfer of imaging information from a scanner such as a CT scanner. It is also indicated to support the diagnostic and treatment planning process of cranio-maxillofacial procedures. IPS CaseDesigner facilitates the service offering of individualized surgical aids.
Device Description
The IPS CaseDesigner software is a tool for the virtual planning of orthognathic surgery. The user is a (oral and maxillofacial) surgeon who needs to plan an orthognathic surgery, and will use the software to plan the osteotomy (bone cutting). This allows the surgeon to re-position the digitally cut pieces in the desired alignment and allows the visualization of how the patient aspect will look like, through soft tissue simulation. The software supports various types of osteotomy procedures (Le Fort I, Sagittal Split, Ramus and Chin).The selection of the appropriate osteotomy procedure for each patient case is at the discretion of the clinician. The IPS CaseDesigner is a 3D image-based environment that allows the clinician to visualize a patient's anatomy. The creation of the 3D augmented patient model is derived from CBCT (Cone-Beam CT) data (DICOM). This allows the clinician virtually plan and simulate a craniomaxillofacial surgery. The IPS CaseDesigner software has the capability to save a surgical splint file that the clinician can send to the manufacturing facility for surgical splint creation based on the CBCT Data. The software does not have any functionality for designing.
More Information

No
The summary describes image processing and virtual planning tools but does not mention AI, ML, or related concepts like deep learning, neural networks, or training/test sets for algorithmic models.

No.
The IPS CaseDesigner is a software tool for surgical planning and visualization, not a device directly used in treatment of a disease or condition.

No

Explanation: While the device can "support the diagnostic and treatment planning process," its primary function is virtual surgical planning and image segmentation. It isn't explicitly stated that the device itself performs a diagnosis or is solely used for diagnostic purposes. Its use is focused on surgical aid and planning based on existing diagnostic imaging.

Yes

The device description explicitly states "The IPS CaseDesigner software is a tool..." and details its function as a software for virtual planning and simulation based on imaging data. While it interacts with imaging scanners and facilitates the creation of physical surgical aids, the core device being described and regulated is the software itself. The performance studies section also specifically mentions "Software verification and validation testing".

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. They are used outside of the body (in vitro).
  • IPS CaseDesigner Functionality: The description clearly states that IPS CaseDesigner is a software tool for virtual planning of orthognathic surgery. It uses imaging data (CT/CBCT) to create a 3D model of the patient's anatomy and allows the surgeon to plan bone cuts and visualize the results. It also facilitates the creation of surgical aids like splints.
  • No Sample Testing: There is no mention of the software performing any tests on biological samples from the patient. Its function is based on processing and visualizing medical imaging data.
  • Intended Use: The intended use is to support the diagnostic and treatment planning process of cranio-maxillofacial procedures and facilitate the service offering of individualized surgical aids. This is a surgical planning and visualization tool, not a diagnostic test performed on a sample.

In summary, IPS CaseDesigner is a medical device, but it falls under the category of surgical planning software or medical image processing software, not In Vitro Diagnostics.

(a)
Identification. A medical image management and processing system is a device that provides one or more capabilities relating to the review and digital processing of medical images for the purposes of interpretation by a trained practitioner of disease detection, diagnosis, or patient management. The software components may provide advanced or complex image processing functions for image manipulation, enhancement, or quantification that are intended for use in the interpretation and analysis of medical images. Advanced image manipulation functions may include image segmentation, multimodality image registration, or 3D visualization. Complex quantitative functions may include semi-automated measurements or time-series measurements.(b)

The user is a (oral and maxillofacial) surgeon who needs to plan an orthognathic surgery, and will use the software to plan the osteotomy (bone cutting). This allows the surgeon to re-position the digitally cut pieces in the desired alignment and allows the visualization of how the patient aspect will look like, through soft tissue simulation. The software supports various types of osteotomy procedures (Le Fort I, Sagittal Split, Ramus and Chin).The selection of the appropriate osteotomy procedure for each patient case is at the discretion of the clinician.

The IPS CaseDesigner is a 3D image-based environment that allows the clinician to visualize a patient's anatomy. The creation of the 3D augmented patient model is derived from CBCT (Cone-Beam CT) data (DICOM). This allows the clinician virtually plan and simulate a craniomaxillofacial surgery. The IPS CaseDesigner software has the capability to save a surgical splint file that the clinician can send to the manufacturing facility for surgical splint creation based on the CBCT Data. The software does not have any functionality for designing.

V. Indications for Use

IPS CaseDesigner is indicated for use as a software and image segmentation system for the transfer of imaging information from a scanner such as a CT scanner. It is also indicated to support the diagnostic and treatment planning process of cranio-maxillofacial procedures. IPS CaseDesigner facilitates the service offering of individualized surgical aids.

Discussion

The Indications for Use statement between the subject and predicate devices are equivalent; minor differences in wording do not alter the intended therapeutic use of the subject device nor do they affect the safety and effectiveness of the subject device relative to the predicate. Both the subject and predicate devices are software devices intended for the transfer of medical images and to support diagnostics and treatment planning of cranio-maxillofacial procedures.

VI. Comparison of Technological Characteristics

The subject and predicate devices are software based surgical planning tools which allow for transfer of medical images, and creation of 3D models.

A comparison of the subject and predicate devices is provided in the table below.
