Intended Use
Intranasal or sinuses Acute and chronic sinusitis, endoscopic dacryocystorhinostomy, optic nerve and orbital decompression, the removal of polyps, the biopsy and removal of tumors, and the repair of CSF leaks, pituitary disorder, and encephalocele
Device Description
The device consists of a wheeled cabinet enclosure with a 20-inch color monitor mounted on the top. Mounted within the cabinet is a computer and a spacial tracking device. The electromagnetic, six-degree-of-freedom tracking device is linked to the computer, which provides the monitor with a display of the patient's CT image data and superimposed crosshairs, indicating the position of the tip of the surgical instrument used with the device. The device is controlled via software.

None

Unknown
The description mentions a "software feature recognition algorithm" used to automatically locate points on the headset in the CT image data. While this could potentially be implemented using AI/ML techniques, the summary does not explicitly state this or provide details about the algorithm that would confirm it is AI/ML. It could also be a more traditional image processing algorithm.

No
The device aids surgeons in navigating during various nasal and sinus surgical procedures by displaying CT images and tracking instrument position, but it does not directly treat or mitigate disease.

No

The device is described as a surgical navigation system that superimposes an instrument's position onto patient CT image data to guide a surgeon during procedures. While it uses existing diagnostic images, it does not itself generate new diagnostic information or determine the presence or nature of a disease; rather, it aids in surgical execution.

No

The device description explicitly states it includes hardware components such as a wheeled cabinet enclosure, monitor, computer, and a spatial tracking device. Performance studies also involve testing of hardware components like the electromagnetic field distortion mechanism and replaceable instruments.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is for surgical navigation during procedures in the intranasal and sinus areas. This involves guiding a surgeon's instrument in real-time based on imaging data.
  • Device Description: The device is a surgical navigation system that uses a spatial tracking device and computer to display the position of a surgical instrument on a patient's CT images.
  • Anatomical Site: The device is used directly on or within the patient's body (intranasal or sinuses) during surgery.
  • IVD Definition: IVDs are devices intended for use in vitro (outside the body) for the examination of specimens derived from the human body to provide information for diagnostic, monitoring, or compatibility purposes.

This device clearly operates in vivo (within the body) during a surgical procedure and is used for surgical guidance, not for analyzing biological specimens for diagnostic purposes.

Summary of Performance Studies (study type, sample size, AUC, MRMC, standalone performance, key results)

Nonclinical Testing Summary
Laborarory testing was conducted to determine the device accuracy and the performance of the electromagnetic field distortion mechanism. Testing was also performed to demonstrate the reproducibility of the location positioning of the replaceable headset and the replaceable pointing instruments.

A mean device accuracy of 0.79 mm was measured which compares to a value of 1.74 mm reported for the predicate device. Results showed that the device detected field distortion under normal use conditions before the induced error became larger than 1.0 mm. The headset was shown to be replaceable such that the overall average effect upon the device accuracy was less than 0.74 mm. The removal and replacement of a pointing instrument result in a change of less than +/-0.914 mm (+/-3 sigma).

Electromagnetic Compatibility testing was conducted and satisfactorily passed. This included emissions in accordance with EN55011(CISPR 11) and RE101 of MIL-STD-461C. and immunity in accordance with IEC 801-2, 801-3, 801-4, 801-5, and RS101 and CS114, of MIL-STD-461C. Because the recommended 10 msec dropout was satisfied, the device has a battery backup.

Clinical Testing Summary
A multicenter study was conducted at four clinical sites. Results of this study indicate the mean accuracy of the device to be 2.28 mm with a 95% confidence interval of the mean of 0.78 mm. This compares to values of 1.8 mm to 4.8 mm for the mean accuracy of the predicate device while using various operating modalities and registration techniques. Under these conditions, the 95% confidence interval of the mean for the predicate device varied from 1.1 mm to 1.6 mm.

§ 892.2050 Medical image management and processing system.

(a)
Identification. A medical image management and processing system is a device that provides one or more capabilities relating to the review and digital processing of medical images for the purposes of interpretation by a trained practitioner of disease detection, diagnosis, or patient management. The software components may provide advanced or complex image processing functions for image manipulation, enhancement, or quantification that are intended for use in the interpretation and analysis of medical images. Advanced image manipulation functions may include image segmentation, multimodality image registration, or 3D visualization. Complex quantitative functions may include semi-automated measurements or time-series measurements.(b)
