The summary describes a stereotactic guidance system with hardware and software for trajectory planning and monitoring, but there is no mention of AI or ML in the device description, intended use, or performance studies.
No.
The ClearPoint System is a surgical guidance system that provides stereotactic guidance for instrument placement during neurological procedures within an MRI environment. It assists in procedures like biopsies, catheter/electrode insertion, and DBS lead placement, but it does not directly treat a disease or condition itself.
No
The device is intended to provide stereotactic guidance for the placement and operation of instruments or devices during neurological procedures, not to diagnose a condition.
No
The device description explicitly lists multiple hardware components, including the SMARTGrid, SMARTFrame, and various accessories, in addition to the software.
Based on the provided information, the ClearPoint System is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic) device.
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use clearly states that the system is for "stereotactic guidance for the placement and operation of instruments or devices during planning and operation of neurological procedures within the MRI environment and in conjunction with MR imaging." This describes a surgical guidance system, not a device used to examine specimens derived from the human body to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or treatment.
- Device Description: The components described are hardware and software for surgical planning and guidance (frames, grids, cannulas, software for trajectory planning). There is no mention of reagents, calibrators, controls, or any components typically associated with in vitro testing of biological samples.
- Lack of IVD Characteristics: The description does not mention analyzing biological samples (blood, tissue, etc.) or providing diagnostic information based on such analysis.
Therefore, the ClearPoint System falls under the category of a surgical guidance system, not an In Vitro Diagnostic device.
