The summary describes a stereotaxic image guidance system using "Machine Vision" for tracking and navigation, but there is no mention of AI, ML, deep learning, or any related terms in the device description, intended use, or performance studies. The focus is on optical tracking and image registration.
No.
The device is a surgical navigation system, which guides the surgeon during procedures. It does not directly provide therapy or treatment to the patient.
No
Explanation: The device is described as an image guidance system intended for spatial positioning and orientation of neurosurgical instruments, as well as a primary surgical luminaire. Its purpose is to guide surgeons during procedures, not to diagnose medical conditions.
No
The device description explicitly lists hardware components (Cart, Arm, Head, Tracked surgical instruments) as major components of the system, in addition to the software.
Based on the provided information, the 7D Surgical System is not an In Vitro Diagnostic (IVD) device.
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use clearly states that the system is for the "spatial positioning and orientation of neurosurgical instruments used by surgeons" and as a "primary surgical luminaire during image guided surgery." This describes a device used during a surgical procedure to guide instruments within the patient's body.
- Device Description: The description reinforces this by explaining that it's a "stereotaxic image guided surgical navigation system" that "tracks the position of instruments in relation to the surgical anatomy."
- Lack of In Vitro Activity: IVD devices are designed to examine specimens (like blood, urine, tissue) outside of the body to provide information about a patient's health. The 7D Surgical System does not perform any such analysis on specimens. It uses imaging data to guide instruments in vivo.
Therefore, the 7D Surgical System falls under the category of a surgical navigation or image guidance system, which are not classified as IVD devices.

Device Description
The 7D Surgical System Cranial Application is intended for use as a stereotaxic image guided surgical navigation system during cranial surgical procedures. The Cranial Application software assists in guiding surgeons during cranial surgical procedures such as biopsies, tumor resections, and shunt and lead placements. The Cranial Application software works in conjunction with 7D Surgical Machine Vision Guidance System which consists of clinical software, optically tracked surgical Pointer, a reference frame instrument and platform/computer hardware which is substantially equivalent to K162375. Image guidance, or Machine Vision, tracks the position of instruments in relation to the surgical anatomy and identifies this position on DICOM scan images or intraoperative structured light images of the patient. The Cranial software functionality is described in terms of its feature sets which are categorized as imaging modalities, registration, planning, and views. Feature sets include functionality that contributes to clinical decision making and are necessary to achieve system performance.
It is important to note that the fundamental technology of the Cranial Application is equivalent to the currently cleared Spinal Application. Both applications require structured light imaging provided by the currently marketed system cart hardware. ldentical to the Spinal Application, the system provides image registration between preoperative scan data and data captured intraoperatively from the 7D Surgical System integrated structured light scanner and/or user selected points of the Cranium. The system provides guidance data by displaying the locations of wireless optically tracked 7D Surgical System Cranial Instruments (examples include Reference Frame and Pointer) relative to the patient. Position and orientation data of tracked 7D Surgical System Cranial Instruments are linked to the preoperative scan data using the 7D Surgical System workstation. The system is intended to be used as the primary surgical luminaire for image guided surgery.
The system is intended to be used for both image fusion and navigation for neurological applications where reference to a rigid structure can be identified relative to a preoperative image data of the anatomy.
The 7D Surgical System Cranial Application is comprised of 5 major components:
-
- Cart
-
- Arm
-
- Head
-
- Tracked surgical 7D Surgical System Cranial Instruments
-
- Software
The Cart of the system serves the following purposes:
- Easy movement of system with secure attachment of all moveable components to the cart.
- . Space efficient storage of system, when not used.
- Allow stable positioning of the entire system when in use. •
- . Safe enclosure of the computer and electric supplies.
- . Allow user interaction and data-transfer to and from the computer workstation
The Arm of the system serves the following purposes:
- Link the cart and the head allowing easy positioning of the head by the sterile surgeon but is stable otherwise (no motion of the head after positioning)
- Allow positioning of the head outside of the sterile field in all positions
- Provides mechanisms for routing cables between the head and the cart
The Head of the system serves 3 main purposes:
- Capture 3D structured light images of the intraoperative patient anatomy to facilitate registration of patient preoperative data with the local surgical coordinate system to enable surgical navigation
- To passively track the location of 7D Surgical System Cranial Instruments -Pointer and a Reference Frame within the surgical field and provide intraoperative guidance to the surgeon.
- To illuminate the surgical field during navigated portions of the surgery. The incorporation of an illumination module into the system is driven by the fact that external surgical lighting can prevent the acquisition of structured light images due to saturation of cameras during registration.
The Tracking System enables the surgeon to view the position and orientation of these 7D Surgical System Cranial Instruments relative to registered pre-operative image data while performing the surgical procedure. Each 7D Surgical System Instrument utilizes 4 commercially available passive reflective marker spheres [Manufactured by NORTHERN DIGITAL, INC.; 510(k) K033621] used to determine the position and orientation of each 7D Surgical System Instrument. Each 7D Surgical System Instrument requires a unique marker position configuration to enable the tracking system to distinguish the tools from one to the other.
The Software links all system components and displays navigational data to the surgeon. It provides methods for loading preoperative scans and guides the surgeon through the process of surface model creation, structured light acquisition, registration, registration verification and navigation.
