Intended Use
SIS System is intended for use in the viewing, presentation of medical imaging, including different modules for image processing, image fusion, and intraoperative functional planning where the 3D output can be used with stereotactic image guided surgery or other processing, visualization and localization. The device can be used in coniunction with other cinical methods as an aid in visualization of the subthalamic nuclei (STN) and globus pallidus externa and interna (GPe and GPi, respectively) in neurological procedures. The system is indicated for surgical procedures in which anatomical structure locations are identified in images, including Deep Brain Stimulation Lead Placement.
Device Description
The SIS System is a software only device based on machine learning and image processing. The device is designed to enhance standard clinical images for the visualization of structures in the basal gandlia area of the brain, specifically the subthalamic nucleus (STN) and globus pallidus externa and interna (GPe/GPi). The output of the SIS system supplements the information available through standard clinical methods by providing additional, adjunctive information to surgeons, neurologists, and radiologists for use in viewing brain structures for planning stereotactic surqical procedures and planning of lead output. The SIS System provides a patient-specific, 3D anatomical model of specific brain structures based on the patient's own clinical MR image using pre-trained deep learning neural network models. As discussed in more detail below, the method incorporates ultra-high resolution 7T (7 Tesla) Maqnetic Resonance images to determine ground truth for the training data set to train the deep learning models. These pre-trained deep learning neural network models are then applied to a patient's clinical image to predict the shape and position of the patient's specific brain structures of interest. SIS System is further able to locate and identify implanted leads, where implanted, visible in post-operative CT images and place them in relation to the brain structure of interest from the preoperative processing. The proposed device is a modification to the SIS System version 5.6.0 that was cleared under K223032. The primary changes are the addition of two compatible leads, minor modification to image registration algorithm, and a feature to allow users to view post-operative 3D model in a different coordinate system.
More Information

Not Found

Yes
The device description explicitly states that the SIS System is "based on machine learning and image processing" and uses "pre-trained deep learning neural network models".

No

The device is a software-only system for medical imaging viewing, processing, and surgical planning, primarily for visualization and localization of anatomical structures. It does not directly perform a therapeutic action on a patient.

No
The device aids in visualization and planning for surgical procedures, rather than providing a diagnosis of a patient's condition or disease state. Its purpose is to enhance images for anatomical structure identification and surgical planning.

Yes

The device description explicitly states, "The SIS System is a software only device based on machine learning and image processing."

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

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, tissue) to provide information for the diagnosis, treatment, or prevention of disease.
  • Device Function: The SIS System is a software-only device that processes medical images (MR and CT) to visualize and enhance anatomical structures within the brain. It aids in surgical planning and visualization, particularly for procedures like Deep Brain Stimulation.
  • Lack of Specimen Analysis: The device does not involve the analysis of any biological specimens taken from the patient. Its input is medical imaging data.

Therefore, the SIS System falls under the category of medical imaging software or surgical planning software, not an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

No
The clearance letter does not explicitly state that the FDA has reviewed and approved or cleared a Predetermined Change Control Plan (PCCP) for this specific device.

Intended Use / Indications for Use

SIS System is intended for use in the viewing, presentation and documentation of medical imaging, including different modules for image processing, image fusion, and intraoperative functional planning where the 3D output can be used with stereotactic image guided surgery or other devices for further processing, visualization and localization. The device can be used in conjunction with other clinical methods as an aid in visualization and location of the subthalamic nuclei (STN) and globus pallidus externa and interna (GPe and GPi, respectively) in neurological procedures. The system is indicated for surgical procedures in which anatomical structure locations are identified in images, including Deep Brain Stimulation Lead Placement.

Typical users of the SIS Software are medical professionals, including but not limited to surgeons, neurologists and radiologists.

Technological Characteristics

The SIS System is a software only device based on machine learning and image processing. The device is designed to enhance standard clinical images for the visualization of structures in the basal gandlia area of the brain, specifically the subthalamic nucleus (STN) and globus pallidus externa and interna (GPe/GPi).

information to surgeons, neurologists, and radiologists for use in viewing brain structures for planning stereotactic surqical procedures and planning of lead output.

The SIS System provides a patient-specific, 3D anatomical model of specific brain structures based on the patient's own clinical MR image using pre-trained deep learning neural network models. As discussed in more detail below, the method incorporates ultra-high resolution 7T (7 Tesla) Maqnetic Resonance images to determine ground truth for the training data set to train the deep learning models. These pre-trained deep learning neural network models are then applied to a patient's clinical image to predict the shape and position of the patient's specific brain structures of interest. SIS System is further able to locate and identify implanted leads, where implanted, visible in post-operative CT images and place them in relation to the brain structure of interest from the preoperative processing.

The proposed device is a modification to the SIS System version 5.6.0 that was cleared under K223032. The primary changes are the addition of two compatible leads, minor modification to image registration algorithm, and a feature to allow users to view post-operative 3D model in a different coordinate system.

Performance Data

Following the modifications, the software verification and validation testing was conducted to validate that the software functions as specified and performs similarly to the predicate device using the same acceptance criteria and the same test designs as used for the previously cleared predicate device. Visualization accuracy testing was repeated to validation of the STN and GPi/GPe structures. In addition, the company repeated the MRI to CT registration testing to ensure that 3D transformation remains accurate. The company also repeated the testing for image processing of CT images to validate the lead segmentation using a similar method representative of actual use, and lastly, repeated electrode orientation testing for current lead models and developed a similar method to validate electrode orientation functionality for the new lead models. The company also extended its validation of the head pose for the standardized head position view. The results of this testing demonstrated that the SIS System has been fully verified and the updated device performs as intended and is as safe and effective compared to the predicate.

Substantial Equivalence

In summary, the company's SIS System has the same intended use as the previously cleared SIS System 5.6.0. In addition, the SIS System has the same indications and similar technological characteristics, and principles of operation as its predicates. Although there are minor differences between the SIS System and its predicate device, those differences do not raise new questions of safety or efficacv. Thus. the SIS System is substantially equivalent.
