Intended Use
The 7D Surgical System is a stereotaxic image guidance system intended for the spatial positioning and orientation of spinal surgical instruments used by surgeons. The system is also intended to be used as the primary surgical luminaire during image guided surgery. The device is indicated for posterior approach spine surgery where reference to a rigid anatomical structure can be identified.
Device Description
The 7D Surgical System is intended for use as a stereotaxic image guided surgical navigation system during spine surgery. The system provides image registration between preoperative scan data and data captured intraoperatively from the 7D Surgical System structured light scanner and/or user selected points. The system provides guidance data by tracking and displaying the position and orientation of wireless optically tracked Spinal Instruments including the 7D Surgical Pedicle Probe and Awl, now including the 7D Surgical Drill Guide, relative to the patient. Position and orientation data of tracked Spinal 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 7D Drill Guide is designed to allow the 7D Spine Module to show real-time interaction of the drill guide with the patient. The 7D Drill Guide is used to extend the initial hole through the cancellous (soft) bone of the vertebra passing the pedicle. The 7D Drill Guide Instrument Set contains several inserts and bits, these can be switched during the procedure. During navigation, the 7D Drill Guide is displayed showing the trajectory of its path, including measurement markings for measuring the depth of the proposed insertion. These measurement markings can be used as a guide to select the appropriate length of the screw for instrumentation.

The summary describes a stereotaxic image guidance system using structured light scanning and optical tracking for surgical navigation. There is no mention of AI or ML algorithms for image processing, data analysis, or decision support. The performance studies focus on accuracy and error metrics typical of navigation systems, not AI/ML model performance.

No.

The device is a surgical navigation system that provides guidance for surgical instruments and acts as a surgical luminaire; it does not directly treat or cure a disease.

No

The device is a surgical navigation system and luminaire, intended for guiding surgical instruments and providing illumination during spine surgery. It does not diagnose medical conditions.

No

The device description explicitly mentions hardware components like a "structured light scanner," "wireless optically tracked Spinal Instruments," and a "workstation." It also describes a physical "Drill Guide" instrument. This indicates it is a system with both hardware and software, not a software-only device.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is for the spatial positioning and orientation of surgical instruments during spine surgery and as a surgical luminaire. This is a surgical guidance system, not a diagnostic test performed on samples from the human body.
  • Device Description: The description details a system that uses imaging data and tracking to guide surgical instruments. It does not describe any process of analyzing biological samples for diagnostic purposes.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing blood, tissue, or other bodily fluids. The system's function is entirely focused on surgical navigation and guidance based on anatomical structures and imaging data.

Therefore, the 7D Surgical System is a surgical navigation and guidance system, not an In Vitro Diagnostic device.
