No
The summary describes a navigation system based on electromagnetic tracking and CT imaging, with a focus on compensating for respiration. There is no mention of AI or ML in the intended use, device description, or performance studies.

No.

The device is a navigation system intended to aid in displaying an interventional instrument or images, enabling marker placement, and guiding endoscopic tools. It does not perform a direct therapeutic action on the patient.

No

Explanation: The device is a "Thoracic Navigation System" that aids in guiding tools for interventions and procedures, rather than diagnosing conditions. It displays images and models to assist a physician in performing actions like biopsy, aspiration, and marker placement, which are interventional or therapeutic, not diagnostic.

No

The device description explicitly lists multiple hardware components including an EM tracking accessory, a patient referencing system, an EM field generator and tracking system, a computer system, and a pulmonary pathway reconstruction and planning workstation. The performance studies also include testing for electrical safety, electromagnetic compatibility, and sterilization validation for instrumentation, indicating the presence of hardware.

Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly describes a system for navigating instruments within the body during clinical interventions, specifically in the thoracic region. This involves displaying the position of instruments relative to anatomical structures based on CT images and aiding in guiding endoscopic tools. This is an in vivo application.
  • Device Description: The device description details a system utilizing electromagnetic tracking technology to locate and navigate instruments within the patient's body. It describes components like an EM tracking accessory, patient referencing system, and software for reconstruction and planning. These are all consistent with a surgical or interventional navigation system, not a device used to examine specimens outside the body.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing biological specimens (blood, tissue, etc.) in vitro to provide diagnostic information. The system's purpose is to facilitate procedures on the patient.

In summary, the SPiN Thoracic Navigation System is a medical device used for image-guided navigation during procedures performed directly on a patient, which falls under the category of in vivo devices, not in vitro diagnostic devices.

4. Device Description

The SPiN Thoracic Navigation System is an accessory for a CT system that utilizes electromagnetic tracking technology to locate and navigate endoscopic tools, catheters and guidewires relative to a CT-based model of the tracheobronchial tree. Due to system use to locate structures in soft tissue. the system incorporates a method of gating the location information on soft tissue to the patient's respiration. The SPiN Thoracic Navigation System consists of an EM tracking accessory, a patient referencing system, an EM field generator and tracking system, software, a computer system, and a pulmonary pathway reconstruction and planning workstation. The EM tracking accessories that can be used with the SPiN Thoracic Navigation System include Veran's Always-On Tip Tracked™ Guidewire, Sheath, Aspiration Needle, Brush, Forceps or View Peripheral Catheter. The SPiN Thoracic Navigation System also enables the placement of markers in soft tissue to guide radiosurgery and thoracic surgery. The SPiN View console/View Optical Probe is provided as an additional accessory for video visualization and is a complement to the EM tracking of the View Peripheral Catheter, enhancing the navigation of the device through the vocal chords and tracheobronchial tree.

5. Indications for Use

The SPiN Thoracic Navigation System is a stereotactic accessory for Computed Tomography (CT) and endoscopic bronchoscope Systems. The SPiN Thoracic Navigation System is indicated for displaying:

  • . An interventional instrument such as a biopsy needle, an aspiration needle, or ablation needle on a computer monitor that also displays a CT-based model of the target organ(s).
  • . Images of the tracheobronchial tree to aid a physician in guiding endoscopic tools, catheters or guidewires in the pulmonary tract.

The SPiN Thoracic Navigation System compensates for a patient's respiratory phases.

The SPiN Thoracic Navigation System is intended for use in clinical interventions and for anatomical structures where computed tomography and/or endoscopic bronchoscopy are currently used for visualizing such procedures.

The SPiN Thoracic Navigation System enables marker placement within soft lung tissue.

6. Summarv of Characteristics to Predicate Device

The SPiN Thoracic Navigation System and the predicate devices have the same intended use, use CT data for creating reference images, have electromagnetic tracking functionality, use instrumentation with sensors for navigation, have similar positioning accuracy, use pulmonary pathway and reconstruction software for planning, reconstruct CT datasets for pathway reconstruction and complete pathway planning through point selection on a 3D model of the tracheobronchial tree for pathway creation. The SPiN Thoracic Navigation System and the SPiN Drive additionally both have an intended use for percutaneous (needle) navigation, autodetection of reference markers on the CT image and patient, complete a geometry check for tool verification and gate navigation to the effects of respiration. The differences between the SPiN Thoracic Navigation System and the predicate devices include:

  • . Clarification of the indications for use to include intended use of enabling marker placement within soft lung tissue.
  • . The update of the SPiN Drive software with a new look/user experience and the ability to run on a Linux computer.

5

  • The introduction of a new electrical cart.
  • o Addition of the SPiN Perc Biopsy Needle Guide Kit, a convenience kit for percutaneous navigation of instrumentation during a SPiN Perc procedure.
  • o Addition of the Always-On Tip Tracked 22ga ANSO SPiNFlex Needle and Extended Working Channel (EWC), ethylene oxide sterilized accessories (the EWC has no sensor and is a non-navigated accessory).
  • Revision of the Always-On Tip Tracked Steerable Catheter accessory from a reusable accessory to a single-use, ethylene oxide sterilized accessory, with a name of View Peripheral Catheter.
  • . Change in sterilization methods for the Always-On Tip Tracked Guidewire to ethylene oxide sterilization from gamma radiation.
  • . Changes in packaging labeling due to the implementation of UDI labeling.
  • Incorporation of an additional visualization accessory in the form of the SPIN View console/View Optical Probe.

Risk management, performance testing, and design verification and validation activities have demonstrated that the changes to the SPiN Thoracic Navigation System do not have an effect on the safety and effectiveness of the device as the subject device conforms to all requirements and specifications.
