No
The device is described as a "user-controlled positioning system intended to assist in the planning and advancement of an instrument during Computed Tomography (CT) guided percutaneous procedures," focusing on "trajectory planning" and "positioning of an instrument." It uses CT imaging for guidance but does not state that it diagnoses medical conditions or diseases.
No
The device description explicitly lists hardware components: the XACT ACE Robot (including robot positioning unit & insertion module assembly) and the XACT ACE Console (including a Control Unit, central computer, and monitor workstation). This indicates it is a system with both hardware and software, not software-only.
Based on the provided information, the XACT ACE Robotic System is not an In Vitro Diagnostic (IVD) device.
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use clearly states that the system is a "user-controlled positioning system intended to assist in the planning and advancement of an instrument during Computed Tomography (CT) guided percutaneous procedures." It is used for trajectory planning and assisting the physician in positioning instruments like needles.
- Device Description: The description reinforces this by detailing the system's components (robot, console) and its function in guiding and steering instruments based on CT images.
- Lack of IVD Characteristics: IVD devices are used to examine specimens (like blood, urine, tissue) in vitro (outside the body) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening. The XACT ACE Robotic System operates in vivo (within the body) by assisting in procedures performed directly on the patient.
The system is a medical device used for surgical assistance and navigation, not for analyzing biological samples.

Device Description
The XACT ACE Robotic System is a user-controlled positioning system intended to assist in the planning and advancement of instruments during Computed Tomography (CT) quided percutaneous procedures. The system is used for trajectory planning based on CT images and is intended to assist the physician in positioning of an instrument, such as a needle, and reviewing instrument position during advancement to the target. The system guides (i.e., positions and steers) the instrument according to a predefined trajectory. The physician controls advancement of the instrument along the trajectory using a foot pedal or a pushbutton on the control room console. The system also allows for monitoring of motion associated with respiration during the procedure.
The XACT ACE Robotic System comprises the following main components:
- . XACT ACE Robot which is placed on the patient and includes the robot positioning unit & the insertion module assembly
- . XACT ACE Console which includes a Control Unit, central computer (in the Control Unit) and monitor workstation for user trajectory planning, user interface and review of instrument position
Intended Use / Indications for Use
The XACT ACE Robotic System is a user-controlled positioning system intended to assist in the planning and advancement of an instrument during Computed Tomography (CT) guided percutaneous procedures. The system is used for trajectory planning and is intended to assist the physician in positioning of an instrument, such as a needle, where CT imaging is used for target traiectory planning and intraoperative tracking.
Summary of Technological Characteristics
The XACT ACE Robotic System allows for planning of percutaneous CT-guided procedures and tracking and positioning of the instrument during the procedure. The current version of the XACT ACE Robotic System includes a modification to an optional, remote-control accessory (ACE Xtend). The ACE Xtend allows the control of the system and the advancement of an instrument from the control room. The use of ACE Xtend is limited to facilities that have appropriate view from the control room, of both, the patient and the XACT ACE Robot mounted on the patient.
Both the XACT ACE Robotic System and its previously cleared predicate are designed and intended for planning and positioning of instruments for percutaneous intervention under imaging guidance of CT scanners. The systems position the instrument according to a predefined trajectory following a registration process between the device's coordinate system and real-time CT images. The user advances the instrument through several checkpoints using a foot pedal (or advancement button if controlling the XACT ACE Robot with ACE Xtend from the control room). Both systems have the same intended use/indication for use, target patient population, compatible imaging system, clinical procedure and compatible type of instruments.
5
Both systems are comprised of the same components and accessories. The XACT ACE Robot and Console are the same. The Remote-Control box of the XACT ACE Robotic System (ACE Xtend) and its previously cleared predicate are located in the control room of the CT suit and duplicates the Emergency Stop Button and the monitor while the subject device also duplicates the Console GUI and the needle advancement button (Foot Pedal of the predicate device).
Further, the system software for the XACT ACE does not introduce any new features or significant changes to existing features. The software was updated to facilitate the use of the ACE Xtend and prevent the control from both units at the same time. Although there are minor differences between the subject and predicate device, namely updated labeling to incorporate the results of the abdominal and lung clinical studies, as well as updated remote control of the XACT ACE Robot from the control room, these differences do not raise new or different questions of safety or efficacy. Thus, the current XACT ACE Robotic System, is substantially equivalent to its predicate.
Performance Data
The following performance/safety tests were conducted with the XACT Robotic System, ACE Model:
- Electrical safety (per IEC 60601-1)
- EMC (per IEC 60601-1-2)
- . Steering Accuracy test evaluated system performance including tip-to-target accuracy when controlled from the ACE Xtend in a simulated clinical setup,
- . Software verification and validation
Clinical Data
The XACT ACE Robotic System has been assessed in two clinical trials evaluating the device in both abdominal and lung CT-guided percutaneous procedures.
The abdominal study (NCT03008603) was held at 2 centers. Study population consisted of 60 completers, of which 33 (55%) were men and 27 (45%) women, average age was 66 ± 14.3 years (range: 35-89). The average steering time was 8.91±5.05 min. All procedures completed with the ACE system reached the target in one needle insertion.
The Lung study (NCT04651517) was held at 2 clinics in the US. Study population consisted of 20 patients 10 men (50%) and 10 women (50%). The average age was 73.4 ± 6.5 years (63-85). Lesions were distributed throughout each lobe of the lung. Skin to lesion distance was less than 8 cm in 14 patients (70%) and between 8-12 cm in the remaining 6 patients (30%). 6 lesions (30%) were smaller than one (1) cm, 14 (70%) were larger than one cm. The average steering time was 6.7±2.9 min There was one, mild, device related adverse events (skin scratch) which resolved without treatment and no device related serious adverse events.
Clinical data in lung procedures confirm the performance and safety of the device, supporting the same performance profile for the device in other CT guided percutaneous procedures. These data demonstrate that the device can be used for planning and navigating an instrument

(e.g. biopsy introducer) to the target site meeting the system's accuracy specifications with minimal adverse events.
Conclusions
The XACT ACE Robotic System has the same intended uses and indications for use, technological characteristics and principles of operation as its predicate device. The limited differences in the labeling and remote operation of the device do not affect the safety or effectiveness of the device. Clinical data demonstrates that the XACT ACE Robotic System is as safe and effective as the predicate device. Thus, the XACT ACE Robotic System is substantially equivalent.
