Yes
The device description explicitly states that it processes images using "deep learning artificial intelligence algorithms".
No.
The device assists in identifying and labeling anatomical structures for ultrasound-guided regional anesthesia, but it does not administer therapy or directly treat a disease or condition. It is a diagnostic aid.
Yes
The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" section states, "ScanNav Anatomy Peripheral Nerve Block is an accessory to compatible general-purpose diagnostic ultrasound systems," indicating its role within a diagnostic context.
Yes
The device description explicitly states that ScanNav Anatomy Peripheral Nerve Block is a software (SaMD) and that it is provided with a general-purpose panel PC for display, implying the software is the core medical device component, not the PC itself.
Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- IVD Definition: In vitro diagnostics are tests performed on samples taken from the human body, such as blood, urine, or tissue, to detect diseases, conditions, or infections. They are used to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
- Device Function: The ScanNav Anatomy Peripheral Nerve Block device operates on live ultrasound images of the patient's anatomy. It processes these images to identify and label structures externally on a separate display. It does not analyze any biological samples taken from the patient.
- Intended Use: The intended use is to assist qualified healthcare professionals in identifying and labeling anatomical structures in preparation for ultrasound guided regional anesthesia prior to needle insertion. This is a procedural aid based on imaging, not a diagnostic test performed on a biological sample.
Therefore, the device falls under the category of a medical device that assists in a medical procedure based on imaging, rather than an in vitro diagnostic device.

Device Description
ScanNav Anatomy Peripheral Nerve Block is a software (SaMD) which assists qualified healthcare professionals to identify and label relevant anatomical structures in preparation for ultrasound guided regional anesthesia prior to needle insertion for patients 18 years of age or older.
The device receives ultrasound images in real-time from a compatible general-purpose ultrasound machine. It processes these images using deep learning artificial intelligence algorithms and highlights relevant anatomical structures. The ultrasound machine display remains unaffected, and the highlighting is only displayed on a general-purpose panel PC provided with the device.

Dear Bhaskar Chikkanna:
We have reviewed your section 510(k) premarket notification of intent to market the device referenced above and have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to legally marketed predicate devices marketed in interstate commerce prior to May 28, 1976, the enactment date of the Medical Device Amendments, or to devices that have been reclassified in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (the Act) that do not require approval of a premarket approval application (PMA). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. Although this letter refers to your product as a device, please be aware that some cleared products may instead be combination products. The 510(k) Premarket Notification Database available at https://www.accessdata.fda.gov/scripts/cdrh/cfdocs/cfpmn/pmn.cfm identifies combination product submissions. The general controls provisions of the Act include requirements for annual registration, listing of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration. Please note: CDRH does not evaluate information related to contract liability warranties. We remind you, however, that device labeling must be truthful and not misleading.
If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 898. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register.
