Intended Use
The KARL STORZ ICG Imaging System is intended to provide real-time visible (VIS) and near-infrared (NIR) fluorescence imaging. The KARL STORZ Endoscopic ICG System enables surgeons to perform minimally invasive surgery using standard endoscopic visible light as well as visual assessment of vessels, blood flow and related tissue perfusion, or at least one of the major extra-hepatic bile duct, common bile duct and common hepatic duct), using near infrared imaging. Fluorescence imaging of biliary ducts with the KARL STORZ Endoscopic ICG System is intended for use with standard of care white light and, when indicated, intraoperative cholangiography. The device is not intended for standalone use for biliary duct visualization. Additionally, the KARL STORZ Endoscopic ICG System enables surgeon to perform minimally invasive cranial neurosurgery in adults and pediatrics and endonasal skull base surgery in adults and pediatrics > 6 years of age using standard endoscopic visible light as well as visual assessment of vessels, blood flow and related tissue perfusion using near infrared imaging. The KARL STORZ VITOM II ICG System is intended for capturing fluorescent mages for the visual assessment of blood flow, as an adjunctive method for the evaluation of tissue perfusion, and related tissue-transfer circulation in tissue and free flaps used in plastic, micro- and reconstructive surgical procedures. The VITOM II ICG System is intended to provide a magnified view of the surgical field in standard white light.
Device Description
The KARL STORZ ICG Imaging System is used to provide real-time high-definition (HD) endoscopic or telescopic images of visible (VIS) and near-infrared (NIR) indocyanine green (ICG) dye fluorescence during minimally invasive, neuro- and endonasal skull base surgery as well as plastic, micro- and reconstructive surgical procedures in general and pediatric populations. The overall system includes a 4mm HOPKINS ICG/NIR Endoscope (0°, 30° or 45°) for use in neuro- and endonasal skull base surgery, a 5mm & 10mm HOPKINS ICG/NIR Endoscope (0° or 30°) for use in minimally invasive procedures and a VITOM II ICG/NIR Telescope for use in plastic, micro- and reconstructive surgical procedures for VIS and NIR illumination and imaging, a light source with foot switch for emission of VIS and NIR illumination, a color video camera head capable of capturing both VIS and NIR imaging, and a KARL STORZ ICG Kit. Additional accessories used with the KARL STORZ ICG Imaging System include two standards fiber-optic light cables for transmission of VIS and NIR light and the Image1 S Camera Control Unit (CCU). The KARL STORZ ICG Imaging System can be used with any medical grade HD monitor with a DVI-D or 3G-SDI input.
More Information

Not Found

No
The document describes image processing but does not mention AI, ML, or any related technologies like deep learning or neural networks. The performance studies focus on bench testing and literature review, not AI/ML model validation.

No
The device is an imaging system designed to provide enhanced visualization during surgery, aiding surgeons in assessing anatomy. It is not intended to treat or prevent a disease or condition itself.

Yes

The device is intended for "visual assessment of vessels, blood flow and related tissue perfusion" and "fluorescence imaging of biliary ducts," which are diagnostic activities.

No

The device description explicitly lists multiple hardware components including endoscopes, telescopes, a light source, a camera head, and a Camera Control Unit (CCU). While the CCU performs image processing, the system is not solely software.

Based on the provided information, the KARL STORZ ICG Imaging System is not an In Vitro Diagnostic (IVD).

Here's why:

  • IVDs are used to examine specimens from the human body. The intended use and device description clearly state that this system is used for real-time imaging during surgical procedures on the patient's body (vessels, bile ducts, cranial structures, tissue flaps). It is not analyzing samples taken from the body.
  • The system provides visual assessment and imaging. While it uses a dye (ICG), the system itself is an imaging tool to visualize the distribution and behavior of the dye within the living tissue, not to perform a diagnostic test on a biological sample.

The device is an imaging system used for surgical guidance and visualization, not for performing diagnostic tests on in vitro samples.

substantial equivalence to the predicate devices. Clinical
published literatures were used to support the expanded
indications for NIR imaging in neuro- and endonasal skull base
surgeries as well as the use of the KARL STORZ ICG Imaging
system in pediatrics. Therefore, the differences between the
subject device and the predicate device do not raise any new
issues of safety and effectiveness. |

clinical literatures demonstrate that the device is as safe and
effective as the legally marketed devices. |
