VS3-Iridium System (VS3-IR) (K223020)
No
The summary describes a real-time fluorescence imaging system with hardware and software components for capturing and displaying images. There is no mention of AI, ML, or any related concepts like image analysis beyond basic adjustments. The focus is on the imaging technology itself and its application in visualizing tissue and blood flow.
No
This device is an imaging system designed to visualize tissue, vessels, and parathyroid glands, rather than to treat a condition or disease.
Yes
The device provides "real-time near infrared (NIR) fluorescence imaging of tissue during surgical procedures" for "visualization of vessels, blood flow and tissue perfusion," and to "assist in the imaging of parathyroid glands and can be used as an adjunctive method to assist in the location of parathyroid glands". These uses constitute providing information for diagnosis, even though it states it is "to assist, not replace, experienced visual assessment, and biopsy with conventional histopathological confirmation".
No
The device description explicitly states that the system consists of both a hardware part (camera unit, control box) and a software part.
Based on the provided information, the FLUOBEAM® LX and FLUOBEAM® LX Red devices are not In Vitro Diagnostic (IVD) devices.
Here's why:
- IVD Definition: IVD devices are used to examine specimens derived from the human body (like blood, urine, or tissue samples) in vitro (outside the body) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
- FLUOBEAM® LX/LX Red Function: The FLUOBEAM® LX and FLUOBEAM® LX Red systems are imaging devices used in vivo (inside the body) during surgical procedures. They visualize tissue fluorescence directly on the patient.
- Intended Use: The intended use clearly states they are for "real-time near infrared (NIR) fluorescence imaging of tissue during surgical procedures" and for "capturing and viewing fluorescent images for the visualization of vessels, blood flow and tissue perfusion." This is an imaging function performed directly on the patient, not an analysis of a sample outside the body.
Therefore, the FLUOBEAM® LX and FLUOBEAM® LX Red are surgical imaging devices, not IVDs.
N/A
Intended Use / Indications for Use
FLUOBEAM® LX and FLUOBEAM® LX Red are intended to provide real-time near infrared (NIR) fluorescence imaging of tissue during surgical procedures. Upon intravenous administration and use of an ICG consistent with its approved labeling, the FLUOBEAM® LX and FLUOBEAM® LX Red are indicated for use in capturing and viewing fluorescent images for the visualization of vessels, blood flow and tissue perfusion before, during and after organ transplant, plastic, micro- and reconstructive surgeries.
The FLUOBEAM® LX and 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 and FLUOBEAM® LX Red devices are 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.

Device Description
FLUOBEAM® LX and FLUOBEAM® LX Red are imaging systems intended to provide realtime near infrared (NIR) fluorescence imaging of tissue during surgical procedures. The FLUOBEAM® LX and FLUOBEAM® LX Red are indicated for use in capturing and viewing fluorescent images for the visualization of vessels, blood flow and tissue perfusion before, during and after organ transplant, plastic, micro- and reconstructive surgeries.
FLUOBEAM® LX and 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 and FLUOBEAM® LX Red devices are 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 and FLUOBEAM® LX Red enable surgeons to observe fluorescent images of parathyroid glands, blood vessels and related tissue perfusion. Fluorescence can be observed as a result of natural fluorescence of parathyroid glands or as a result of 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 and FLUOBEAM® LX Red consist 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 or 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 imaging software and the FLUOSOFT™ LX Red imaging software on the computer.
This special 510(k) premarket notification is intended to re-frame the indications for use statement to be consistent with specific indications of legally marketed ICG products, eliminating the need for the co-packaging with ICG.

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.
Comparison of Technological Characteristics with the Predicate Devices:
There are no changes in technological characteristics in the visualization system hardware, software, or accessories associated with the labeling changes compared to the predicate devices FLUOBEAM® LX device (K190891) and FLUOBEAM LX Red (K230898).
The only change in the system configuration is to update the instructions for use, the indication for use and obsolete the Refill kit for the co-packaging with ICG.
The introduction of these modified devices FLUOBEAM® LX and FLUOBEAM® LX Red raises no new or different issues of safety and effectiveness such that the modified devices FLUOBEAM® LX and FLUOBEAM® LX Red are substantially equivalent to the predicate devices.
In addition, it is noteworthy that the reference device VS3-Iridium System (VS3-IR) (K223020) has taken the same approach as that taken by this Special 510(k), re-frame of the indications for use statement to be consistent with specific indications of legally marketed ICG products, eliminating the need for the co-packaging with ICG.
Performance Data:
No performance data are needed to support the modified indications for use. As noted above, there are no technological changes associated with the proposed labeling changes. Additionally, no new surgical procedures or tissue types are being referenced in the modified indications for use.

Conclusions
The proposed modified devices FLUOBEAM® LX and FLUOBEAM® LX Red are substantially equivalent to the FLUOBEAM® LX and FLUOBEAM LX Red legally marketed under the previously cleared 510(k) clearance.
