Intended Use
Da Vinci Fluorescence Imaging Vision System: The da Vinci Fluorescence Imaging Vision System is intended to provide real-time endoscopic visible and near-infrared fluorescence imaging. The da Vinci Fluorescence Imaging Vision System enables surgeons to perform minimally invasive surgery using standard endoscopic visible light as well as visual assessment of vessels, blood flow and related tissue perfusion, and at least one of the major extra-hepatic bile ducts (cystic duct, common hepatic duct), using near infrared imaging. Fluorescence imaging of billary ducts with the da Vinci Fluorescence Imaging Vision System is intended for use with standard of care white light and, when indicated, intraoperative cholangiography. The device is not intended for standalone use for billiary duct visualization. Da Vinci Firefly Imaging System: The da Vinci Firefly Imaging System is intended to provide real-time endoscopic visible and near-infrared fluorescence imaging. The da Vinci Firefly Imaging System enables surgeons to perform minimally invasive surgery using standard endoscopic visible light as well as visual assessment of vessels, blood flow and related tissue perfusion, and at least one of the major extra-hepatic bile duct, (cystic duct, common bile duct or common hepatic duct), using near infrared imaging. Fluorescence imaging of biliary ducts with the da Vinci Firended for use with standard of care white light and, when indicated, intraoperative cholangiography. The device is not intended for standalone use for biliary duct visualization.
Device Description
Two subject devices, the da Vinci Fluorescence Imaging Vision System and the da Vinci Firefly Imaging System, are bundled in this submission. The da Vinci Fluorescence Imaging Vision System is a fully-integrated, adjunct endoscopic imaging system for the da Vinci Si Surgical System. The da Vinci Fluorescence lmaging of enhanced, existing components of the da Vinci Si Surgical System: 8.5 mm or 12 mm endoscopes (0 degree) optimized for NIR fluorescence imaging, the 3D High-Definition (HD) stereoscopic camera head, the fluorescence-capable illuminator for use processor unit (light source), and supporting software functions. There are no changes being made to the described components from the previously-cleared version of the device (K124031). The da Vinci Firefly Imaging System is a fully-integrated, adjunct endoscopic imaging system for the da Vinci X Surgical Systems. The da Vinci Firefly Imaging System consists of enhanced, existing components of the da Vinci X Surgical Systems: an 8 mm endoscope (0 degree) optimized for NIR fluorescence imaging, the fluorescence-capable Endoscope Controller, and supporting software functions. There are no changes being made to the described components from the previouslycleared version of the device (K141077). There are two changes being made between the subject devices. The two changes are equivalent for both the da Vinci Fluorescence Imaging Vision System and the da Vinci First change is that a Fluorescence Imaging Kit will no longer be included with the subject devices, this Fluorescence lmaging Kit includes cross-labeled indocyanine green (ICG) fluorescence imaging agent, and syringe trays. Historically, the ICG labeling by itself has not included indications for use with an imaging medical device. Therefore, as a part of the previous 510(k) clearances for the da Vinci Fluorescence Imaging Vision System (K124031) and the da Vinci Firefly Imaging System (K141077), ICG was cross-labeled by Intuitive to include indications for use with the predicate devices. The labeling of the imaging agent ICG (trade name SP) AGENT GREEN), as published on the FDALabel Database, now includes indications for use with a fluorescence imaging device. The second change is that the user manuals for both devices have been revised. The fluorescence imaging-related content in the subject devices user manuals has been updated to remove references to the Fluorescence lmaging Kit, for consistency with the expanded ICG imaging agent indications for use.
More Information

No
The summary describes an imaging system and its components, focusing on visible and near-infrared fluorescence imaging. There is no mention of AI, ML, or any related concepts like image processing beyond basic visualization. The changes described are limited to the removal of a kit and labeling updates.

No
The device is described as an imaging system intended for visual assessment during minimally invasive surgery; it does not directly treat or cure a disease.

Yes

Explanation: The device provides "visual assessment of vessels, blood flow and related tissue perfusion, and at least one of the major extra-hepatic bile ducts" which are assessments used for diagnostic purposes during surgery.

No

The device description explicitly states that the systems consist of enhanced, existing hardware components of the da Vinci Surgical Systems, including endoscopes, camera heads, illuminators, and controllers, in addition to supporting software functions.

Based on the provided information, the da Vinci Fluorescence Imaging Vision System and the da Vinci Firefly Imaging System are not In Vitro Diagnostic (IVD) devices.

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: IVD devices are used to examine specimens (like blood, urine, or tissue) taken from the human body to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
  • Device Function: The da Vinci systems described are imaging systems used during surgery to visualize internal structures (vessels, bile ducts) in real-time using visible and near-infrared light. They are used in vivo (within the living body), not in vitro (in a test tube or lab setting).
  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states they are for providing real-time endoscopic imaging during minimally invasive surgery to assist surgeons in visualizing anatomical structures and blood flow. This is a surgical imaging tool, not a diagnostic test performed on a specimen.

Therefore, these devices fall under the category of surgical imaging systems, not IVDs.

Device Description Summary21 CFR 807.92(a)(4)

Two subject devices, the da Vinci Fluorescence Imaging Vision System and the da Vinci Firefly Imaging System, are bundled in this submission.

The da Vinci Fluorescence Imaging Vision System is a fully-integrated, adjunct endoscopic imaging system for the da Vinci Si Surgical System. The da Vinci Fluorescence lmaging of enhanced, existing components of the da Vinci Si Surgical System: 8.5 mm or 12 mm endoscopes (0 degree) optimized for NIR fluorescence imaging, the 3D High-Definition (HD) stereoscopic camera head, the fluorescence-capable illuminator for use processor unit (light source), and supporting software functions. There are no changes being made to the described components from the previously-cleared version of the device (K124031).

The da Vinci Firefly Imaging System is a fully-integrated, adjunct endoscopic imaging system for the da Vinci X Surgical Systems. The da Vinci Firefly Imaging System consists of enhanced, existing components of the da Vinci X Surgical Systems: an 8 mm endoscope (0 degree) optimized for NIR fluorescence imaging, the fluorescence-capable Endoscope Controller, and supporting software functions. There are no changes being made to the described components from the previouslycleared version of the device (K141077).

There are two changes being made between the subject devices. The two changes are equivalent for both the da Vinci Fluorescence Imaging Vision System and the da Vinci First change is that a Fluorescence Imaging Kit

will no longer be included with the subject devices, this Fluorescence lmaging Kit includes cross-labeled indocyanine green (ICG) fluorescence imaging agent, and syringe trays. Historically, the ICG labeling by itself has not included indications for use with an imaging medical device. Therefore, as a part of the previous 510(k) clearances for the da Vinci Fluorescence Imaging Vision System (K124031) and the da Vinci Firefly Imaging System (K141077), ICG was cross-labeled by Intuitive to include indications for use with the predicate devices. The labeling of the imaging agent ICG (trade name SP) AGENT GREEN), as published on the FDALabel Database, now includes indications for use with a fluorescence imaging device.

The second change is that the user manuals for both devices have been revised. The fluorescence imaging-related content in the subject devices user manuals has been updated to remove references to the Fluorescence lmaging Kit, for consistency with the expanded ICG imaging agent indications for use.
