More Information

Not Found

No
The summary describes a robotic system for surgical guidance but does not mention any AI or ML components in its description, intended use, or performance studies.

No
The device is an aid for precisely locating anatomical structures and for spatial positioning and orientation during pedicle screw placement, not directly treating a disease or condition.

No

The device is described as a "pedicle screw guide system" that aids surgeons in "navigating compatible surgical instruments in open or percutaneous pedicle screw placement." Its primary function is to provide spatial positioning and orientation, not to diagnose a medical condition or disease.

No

The device description explicitly lists multiple hardware components including a robotic arm, main console, staff console, and various surgical instruments.

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

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.
  • CUVIS-spine Function: The CUVIS-spine is a robotic surgical assistance system. Its intended use is to aid surgeons in precisely locating anatomical structures and guiding surgical instruments during pedicle screw placement. It works by using imaging modalities (O-arm, C-arm) and robotic technology to assist in a surgical procedure performed on the patient's body, not by analyzing samples from the patient's body.

The description clearly indicates a surgical navigation and guidance system, which falls under the category of surgical devices, not in vitro diagnostics.
