The summary describes a robotic navigation system for bronchoscopy that uses CT scans for planning and visualization. There is no mention of AI or ML in the intended use, device description, or performance studies. The software is described as "software-controlled" and "PlanPoint™ Software uses patient CT scans to create a 3D plan," which are standard functionalities for image-guided navigation systems and do not inherently indicate AI/ML.
Yes.
The device's intended use explicitly includes "therapeutic procedures," and it aids in navigation for biopsy, which can be a therapeutic procedure.
No
The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" states, "It does not make a diagnosis". While it assists in procedures and enables fiducial marker placement (which can be used for diagnosis or therapy), the system itself explicitly states it does not make a diagnosis.
No
The device description explicitly states that the Ion™ Endoluminal System is a "software-controlled, electromechanical system" and lists hardware components such as a System Cart, Controller, Instruments, and Accessories. While it includes software (PlanPoint™ Software and System Software), it is not solely software.
Based on the provided information, the Ion™ Endoluminal System is not an In Vitro Diagnostic (IVD) device.
Here's why:
- IVD devices are used to examine specimens derived from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue samples) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening. The Ion™ Endoluminal System is a system used within the body to navigate and collect tissue samples (biopsy).
- The intended use describes assisting in navigation and performing procedures within the pulmonary tract. It explicitly states it "does not make a diagnosis."
- The device description details an electromechanical system for navigation and tool manipulation within the body.
- The performance studies mentioned are related to reprocessing (cleaning and disinfection) of the instruments, not analytical performance on biological samples.
The Flexision™ Biopsy Needle, while used to collect a tissue sample, is an instrument used with the system for a procedure, not a device that analyzes the sample itself. The PlanPoint™ Software uses CT scans (imaging data), not biological specimens, to create a plan.
Therefore, the Ion™ Endoluminal System falls under the category of a medical device used for diagnostic and therapeutic procedures within the body, not an IVD device that analyzes samples outside the body.

Intended Use / Indications for Use
The Ion™ Endoluminal System (Model IF1000) assists the user in navigating a catheter and endoscopic tools in the pulmonary tract using endoscopic visualization of the tracheobronchial tree for diagnostic and therapeutic procedures. The Ion™ Endoluminal System enables fiducial marker placement. It does not make a diagnosis and is not for pediatric use.
The Flexision™ Biopsy Needle is used with the Ion™ Endoluminal System to biopsy tissue from a target area in the lung.
The PlanPoint™ Software uses patient CT scans to create a 3D plan of the lung and navigation pathways for use with the Ion™ Endoluminal System.

7. Performance Data
The following performance data has been provided in support of the substantial equivalence determination. Testing included reprocessing validations.
Reprocessing Validation
Cleaning and high-level disinfection (HLD) validations were performed to demonstrate the efficacy of the updated reprocessing instructions in continuing to successfully clean and disinfect the Model IF1000 Instruments. Testing was performed in accordance with AAMI TIR12:2010 Designing, testing, and labeling reusable medical devices for reprocessing in health care facilities: A guide for medical device manufacturers and AAMI TIR30:2011/(R)2016 A compendium of processes, materials, test methods, and acceptance criteria for cleaning reusable medical devices. All testing passed the predetermined acceptance criteria.
Biocompatibility
No biocompatibility testing was performed as the reprocessing instructions updates do not introduce new materials or chemicals to the subject device or reprocessing process requiring additional biocompatibility testing.
Bench Testing
No bench testing was performed as the reprocessing instructions updates do not introduce additional mechanical wear to the subject device requiring additional verification and validation.
Usability Testing
No usability testing was performed as the reprocessing instructions updates do not introduce new or critically different reprocessing steps requiring additional usability testing.
Animal Testing
No animal studies were performed as the reprocessing instructions updates do not introduce additional mechanical wear or new or different reprocessing steps for the subject device requiring additional testing.
Clinical Testing
No clinical studies were performed as the reprocessing instructions updates do not introduce additional mechanical wear or new or different reprocessing steps for the subject device requiring additional testing.
8. Conclusion
Based upon the intended use, design, operating principles, comparison to the predicate device, and conducted testing, it is concluded that the subject device reprocessed via the updated reprocessing instructions is substantially equivalent to the predicate device reprocessed via the current reprocessing instructions. Testing also supports that the subject
7
device reprocessed via the updated reprocessing instructions does not raise any new risks or any new questions in safety or effectiveness for the subject device.
