Intended Use
Upon intravenous administration and use of an ICG (Indocyanine green for Injection) consistent with its approved label, the EXPLORER AIR® II is used in capturing and viewing fluorescent images for the visual assessment of blood flow and tissue perfusion, before, during, and after vascular, gastrointestinal, organ transplant, and plastic, micro- and reconstructive surgeries. The EXPLORER AIR® II is indicated for use in adult and pediatric patients one month of age and older.
Device Description
EXPLORER AIR® II is a fluorescence imaging system, which enables users to visually assess blood flow to evaluate tissue perfusion and tissue-transfer circulation. It can be used on any part of the body during plastic, reconstructive, gastrointestinal, and organ transplant surgeries. EXPLORER AIR® II consists of an imaging system that contains two cameras (one (1) for fluorescence, one (1) for color images) suspended by an articulated arm attached to a trolley. A touch screen and secondary monitor are also mounted on the trolley. EXPLORER AIR® II enhances the surgeon's vision with use of near infrared fluorescence (NIR) imaging. The technology is based on the exposure of the tissue of interest to light after fluorescent dye such as indocyanine green (ICG) has been administered to the patient. The EXPLORER AIR® II visualizes fluorescence excited by infrared light (740-760nm) and emitted in the band centered around 800nm. After image acquisition, the composite image (overlay of fluorescence and color images) is displayed along with the fluorescent and color images. The user can tag and compare images, play the recorded videos, and export the selected files.

No
The description focuses on fluorescence imaging and image processing for visualization, with no mention of AI or ML algorithms for analysis or interpretation.

No
The device is used for imaging and visual assessment, not for directly treating or curing a medical condition.

Yes

The device aids in the "visual assessment of blood flow and tissue perfusion" to evaluate conditions during surgeries, which is a diagnostic function.

No

The device description explicitly states that the EXPLORER AIR® II consists of physical hardware components including cameras, an articulated arm, a trolley, a touch screen, and a secondary monitor. While it includes software for image processing and display, it is not solely software.

Based on the provided information, the EXPLORER AIR® II is not an In Vitro Diagnostic (IVD) device.

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are devices intended for use in the collection, preparation, and examination of specimens taken from the human body (such as blood, urine, or tissue) to provide information for the diagnosis, treatment, or prevention of disease.
  • EXPLORER AIR® II Function: The EXPLORER AIR® II is an imaging system that visualizes fluorescence in vivo (within the living body) after a dye (ICG) is administered intravenously to the patient. It captures and displays images of blood flow and tissue perfusion directly within the surgical field.
  • No Specimen Examination: The device does not involve the collection or examination of specimens taken from the body. It works by imaging the patient's tissues directly.

Therefore, the EXPLORER AIR® II falls under the category of an in vivo imaging system, not an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

Principle of
OperationNIR light from the illumination module in the
imaging console is transmitted to the imaging
head via fiber-optic cable. The imaging head
is positioned over the patient such that the

the area of interest. When the patient is
injected with ICG, the ICG binds to the
plasma in the blood and travels to the area of
interest through the bloodstream. The NIR
excitation light emitted by the SPY Elite
imaging device causes the ICG to fluoresce.
