No
The summary describes a standard fluorescence imaging system with hardware and software components for image capture and display. There is no mention of AI/ML algorithms for image analysis, interpretation, or decision support. The device is described as an "adjunctive method" to assist experienced visual assessment.
No
The device is an imaging system designed to assist surgeons in visualizing tissue and assessing blood flow or locating parathyroid glands. It does not provide any direct treatment or therapy to the patient.
Yes
Explanation: The device is indicated for use in "capturing fluorescent images for the visual assessment of blood flow in adults as an adjunctive method for the evaluation of tissue perfusion, perfused organs, and related tissue-transfer circulation" and to "assist in the imaging of parathyroid glands". This assessment and evaluation of physiological states and anatomical structures for adjunctive clinical use falls within the scope of a diagnostic device.
No
The device description explicitly states that the FLUOBEAM® LX Red consists of both a hardware part (camera unit, control box) and a software part (FLUOSOFT™ LX Red imaging software). It details the functions of the hardware components, such as the optical head containing a camera and light sources, and the control box for signal processing.
Based on the provided information, the FLUOBEAM® LX Red is not an In Vitro Diagnostic (IVD) device.
Here's why:
- Definition of IVD: An IVD device is a medical device intended for use in vitro for the examination of specimens, including blood, tissue, and urine, derived from the human body, solely or principally for the purpose of providing information concerning a physiological or pathological state, or congenital abnormality, or to determine the safety and compatibility of transfused blood.
- FLUOBEAM® LX Red's Function: The FLUOBEAM® LX Red is an imaging system that provides real-time near infrared (NIR) fluorescence imaging during surgical procedures. It directly images tissue in vivo (within the living body) to assist surgeons in visualizing blood flow and locating parathyroid glands.
- No Specimen Examination: The device does not examine specimens in vitro. It operates directly on the patient's body during surgery.
Therefore, the FLUOBEAM® LX Red falls under the category of an in vivo imaging device, not an in vitro diagnostic device.
N/A
Intended Use / Indications for Use
FLUOBEAM® LX Red is intended to provide real-time near infrared (NIR) fluorescence imaging of tissue during surgical procedures. The FLUOBEAM® LX Red is indicated for use in capturing fluorescent images for the visual assessment of blood flow in adults as an adjunctive method for the evaluation of tissue perfusion, perfused organs, and related tissue-transfer circulation in tissue and free flaps used in plastic, micro- and reconstructive and organ transplant surgeries.
The FLUOBEAM® LX Red can also be used to assist in the imaging of parathyroid glands and can be used as an adjunctive method to assist in the location of parathyroid glands due to the auto-fluorescence of this tissue. Use of the FLUOBEAM® LX Red device is intended to assist, not replace, experienced visual assessment, and biopsy with conventional histopathological confirmation per standard of care. The system is not to confirm the absence of parathyroid tissue or glands and is only to be used to assist in locating visually identified gland/tissues.

Device Description
FLUOBEAM® LX Red is an imaging system intended to provide real-time near infrared (NIR) fluorescence imaging of tissue during surgical procedures. The FLUOBEAM® LX Red is indicated for use in capturing and viewing fluorescent images for the visual assessment of blood flow in adults as an adjunctive method for the evaluation of tissue perfusion, perfused organs, and related tissue-transfer circulation in tissue and free flaps used in plastic, micro- and reconstructive and organ transplant surgeries.
FLUOBEAM® LX Red can also be used to assist in the imaging of parathyroid glands and can be used as an adjunctive method to assist in the location of parathyroid glands due to the autofluorescence of this tissue. Use of the FLUOBEAM® LX Red device is intended to assist, not replace, experienced visual assessment, and biopsy with conventional histopathological confirmation per standard of care. The system is not to be used to confirm the absence of parathyroid tissue or glands and is only to be used to assist in locating visually identified gland/tissues.
FLUOBEAM® LX Red enables surgeons to observe fluorescent images of parathyroid glands, blood vessels and related tissue perfusion. Fluorescence can be observed thanks to natural fluorescence of parathyroid glands or thanks to a fluorescent product, indocyanine green (ICG), injected intravenously into patients before the surgery allowing the perfusion assessment.
Class 1 infrared laser light is used to excite the fluorescent tissues of parathyroid glands or the ICG and illuminate the regions of a patient's body to be observed. A camera inside the optical head captures the fluorescent image that is used to visualize the parathyroid glands or assess the blood vessels and related tissue perfusion. FLUOBEAM® LX Red consists of the following components: a hardware part with a camera unit (optical head) linked by a specific cable to a control box and a software part with FLUOSOFT™ LX Red imaging software. The optical head contains a video camera and light sources (laser and LEDs) and is used by hand. The control box receives the video signal of the fluorescent image from the optical head, it digitizes it and sends it to a computer that outputs it on a display screen and/or records it. Adjustments of the fluorescent image are possible either by the optical head or via the FLUOSOFT™ LX Red imaging software on the computer.
The modified device FLUOBEAM® LX Red has therefore exactly the same principle of operation of the predicate device. The modified device FLUOBEAM® LX Red is a device modification of the FLUOBEAM® LX device. Compared to the predicate device FLUOBEAM® LX, change of wavelength and detection range is being implemented for modified device FLUOBEAM® LX Red to improve performance in terms of sensitivity for the location of parathyroid glands due to the auto-fluorescence of this tissue while maintaining sensitivity to indocyanine green (ICG).

The predicate device is the FLUOBEAM® LX, Fluorescent Imaging System from FLUOPTICSoSAS. FLUOBEAM® LX Red is a device modification of the FLUOBEAM® LX
The intended use, indications for use, and the principles of operation of the FLUOBEAM® LX Red and its predicate are the same. FLUOBEAM® LX Red and the predicate device have similar technological characteristics and the minor technological and design differences do not raise new or different questions of safety or effectiveness, as confirmed by verification and validation testing described in this Special 510(k) submission. Both devices function as cameras allowing surgeons to view fluorescence images of blood flow and evaluation of tissue perfusion with the use of indocyanine green (ICG); or visualization of parathyroid glands by autofluorescence.
