No.
The device is a software for visualization and manipulation of medical images for surgical planning, not for therapy delivery or direct treatment of a disease or condition.

No

The device description explicitly states that "images viewed are for informational purposes only and not intended for diagnostic use" when accessed from a wireless stereoscopic head-mounted display (HMD) or mobile device. While it handles medical images and can be used in settings like operating rooms for visualization and surgical planning, it is not primarily advertised or indicated for diagnostic interpretation.

Yes

The device description explicitly states "SurgicalAR is a software platform" and "The software application is used to...". The intended use also refers to it as a "software device". While it utilizes external hardware (computer monitors, HMDs), the device itself, as described, is the software.

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

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In vitro diagnostics are tests performed on samples taken from the human body, such as blood, urine, or tissue, to detect diseases, conditions, or infections. They are used to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
  • SurgicalAR's Function: SurgicalAR is a software device that processes and displays pre-acquired medical images (CT/MR DICOM data) for visualization and surgical planning. It does not involve the analysis of biological samples from the patient.
  • Intended Use: The intended use is for display of medical images and other healthcare data for review, manipulation, visualization, and surgical planning. While it supports diagnostic review in some contexts (with appropriate displays), its primary function is image processing and visualization, not the analysis of in vitro samples.
  • Device Description: The description explicitly states it takes "pre-acquired 2D medical images" and reconstructs 3D models for viewing. This confirms it works with existing image data, not biological samples.

Therefore, SurgicalAR falls under the category of medical image processing and visualization software, not an in vitro diagnostic device.
