Intended Use
The Paradigm System is a stereotaxic image guidance system intended for the spatial positioning and orientation of spinal surgical instruments used by surgeons during open surgical procedures with appropriate bone preparation. The device is indicated for posterior approach spine surgery where reference to a rigid anatomical structure that can be identified on CT derived patient images for pedicle screw cannulation of the thoracic to sacrum vertebrae.
Device Description
The Paradigm System is a stereotaxic image guidance system intended for the spatial positioning and orientation of spinal surgical instruments used by surgeons. The Paradigm System fuses high-resolution, real-time camera imaging of the surgical site (such as the spine) with medical imagery (such as CT) and surgical navigation data, such as predetermined instrument trajectories for precise instrument placement. The Paradigm System encompasses non-sterile operating room equipment components as well as sterilizable, reusable instruments, and off-the-shelf sterile-packaged, single-use accessories. The Paradigm System is used with an external monitor.
More Information

No
The summary describes a stereotaxic image guidance system that fuses real-time camera imaging with medical imagery and navigation data for precise instrument placement. There is no mention of AI, ML, or related concepts in the device description, intended use, or performance studies. The focus is on image fusion and navigation, not AI-driven analysis or decision-making.

No
The device is an image guidance system used for the spatial positioning and orientation of surgical instruments; it does not directly treat or diagnose a disease or condition.

No

Explanation: The device is described as a "stereotaxic image guidance system intended for the spatial positioning and orientation of spinal surgical instruments." Its purpose is to aid surgeons in instrument placement during surgery, not to diagnose medical conditions.

No

The device description explicitly states that the system encompasses "non-sterile operating room equipment components as well as sterilizable, reusable instruments, and off-the-shelf sterile-packaged, single-use accessories," indicating the presence of hardware components beyond just software. The performance studies also mention "Non-Clinical Hardware, Software, and Instrumentation Verification Tests."

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

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are medical devices used to perform tests on samples taken from the human body, such as blood, urine, or tissue, to provide information about a person's health.
  • Paradigm System's Function: The Paradigm System is described as a stereotaxic image guidance system used during surgical procedures to assist surgeons with the spatial positioning and orientation of surgical instruments. It uses medical images (CT) and real-time camera imaging to guide instrument placement within the body.
  • No Sample Testing: The description does not mention the device performing any tests on samples taken from the patient's body. Its function is entirely focused on guiding surgical actions based on imaging data.

Therefore, the Paradigm System falls under the category of a surgical navigation or image guidance system, not an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

| Principle of
operation | Paradigm System fuses high-
resolution, real-time camera imaging
of the surgical site (such as the spine)
with medical imagery (such as CT)
and surgical navigation data, such as
predetermined instrument trajectories
for precise instrument placement.

The Paradigm System enables surgical
navigation of instruments relative to
the patient spinal anatomy by
combining preoperative imaging
segmentation and intraoperative
registration of the patient's live
anatomy. Preoperative CT data is
uploaded to the console and the system
software generates a 3D model of the
patient's operative vertebrae. The 3D
model is used for preoperative
planning such as implant placements
or instrument trajectories. During the
procedure, once the patient's anatomy
is exposed, the Prism Sensor Array
acquires imaging to match the
topography of the live anatomy to the
3D model. This intraoperative
registration of live anatomy to the 3D
model creates a common coordinate
space between the preoperative CT
data and the patient anatomy. This
enables virtual information to be
overlaid on the live anatomy during
the procedure for intraoperative
guidance. | The Envision 3D system
provides image registration
between preoperative scan data
and data captured
intraoperatively from the
Envision 3DTM integrated
structured light scanner
and/or user selected points. The
system provides guidance data
by displaying the
locations of wireless optically
tracked Envision 3DTM Spinal
Instruments (examples
include pedicle probe and awl)
relative to the patient. Position
and orientation data of
tracked Envision 3DTM Spinal
Instruments are linked to the
preoperative scan data using
the Envision 3DTM workstation. | Subject device
uses light field
where predicate
uses structured
light scanner.
Subject device
