No
The summary does not mention AI, ML, or related concepts, nor does it describe features typically associated with AI/ML in medical imaging (like automated analysis, prediction, or complex image processing beyond standard visualization).

No
The device is used for surgical guidance during neurosurgery, which is a diagnostic or interventional aid rather than directly providing therapy.

No
Explanation: The device is described for frameless stereotactic cranial neurosurgery and intraoperative surgical guidance, which are therapeutic and interventional applications, not diagnostic ones.

Unknown

The provided 510(k) summary lacks a device description, which is crucial for determining if the device is software-only. Without this information, it's impossible to assess the nature of the device and its components.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is "Frameless stereotactic cranial neurosurgery and intraoperative would be surgical guidance." This describes a device used during a surgical procedure on a patient's body, not a test performed on a sample taken from the body (which is the definition of an in vitro diagnostic).
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: The description doesn't mention any of the typical characteristics of an IVD, such as:
    • Analyzing biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.)
    • Providing diagnostic information based on laboratory tests
    • Measuring biomarkers or other substances in a sample

This device appears to be a surgical guidance system, which falls under the category of medical devices used for treatment or procedural assistance, not for in vitro diagnosis.

Dear Mr. Vilsmeier:

We have reviewed your Section 510(k) notification of intent to market the device referenced above and we have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to 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 (Act). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. 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.

If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (Premarket Approval), it may be subject to such additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Requlations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 895. A substantially equivalent determination assumes compliance … with the Good Manufacturing Practice for Medical Devices: General (GMP) regulation (21 CFR Part 620) and that, through periodic GMP inspections, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) will verify such assumptions. Failure to comply with the GMP regulation may result in regulatory action. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register. Please note: this response to your premarket notification submission does not affect any obligation you might have under sections 531 through 542 of the Act for devices under the Electronic Product Radiation Control provisions, or other Federal laws or regulations.
