Intended Use
The intended use of the ViewPoint is unchanged by the 3.0 software, but the indications for use have been expanded to include spinal surgical procedures. The intended use and indications for use are as follows: The ViewPoint is intended for use as a device which uses diagnostic images of the patient acquired specifically to assist the physician with presurgical planning and to provide orientation and reference information during intra-operative procedures. The ViewPoint is indicated for use in: · Intra-cranial surgical procedures involving space occupying lesions or malformations (including soft tissue, vascular and osseous) · Spinal surgical procedures involving spinal stabilization, neural decompression, or resection of spinal neoplasms.
Device Description
The new features in the 3.0 Software include a detector positioning feature and support for the following optional hardware accessories: a tracking device, drill guides and a CT spine phantom. The indications for use of the ViewPoint have also been expanded to include use in spinal surgeries.
More Information

No
The document does not mention AI, ML, deep learning, neural networks, or any related terms, nor does it describe features or processes typically associated with AI/ML in medical imaging (like automated detection, segmentation, or prediction based on learned patterns). The described features are related to image processing (MPR, surface rendering), tracking, and hardware support.

No
The device is intended for presurgical planning and intra-operative orientation and reference, not for direct therapeutic treatment.

No

The device is described as assisting physicians with pre-surgical planning and providing orientation and reference information during intra-operative procedures, not for making a diagnosis. The input explicitly states that it uses "diagnostic images of the patient acquired specifically to assist the physician with presurgical planning," implying it uses already existing diagnostic images rather than performing a diagnostic function itself.

No

The device description explicitly mentions support for optional hardware accessories: a tracking device, drill guides, and a CT spine phantom. While the software is a key component, the device system includes hardware.

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.
  • Device Function: The ViewPoint is described as a device that uses diagnostic images (like CT scans, implied by the mention of a CT spine phantom) to assist physicians with presurgical planning and provide orientation during surgery. It processes these images (MPR and surface rendering) and is used intra-operatively.
  • Lack of Biological Sample Analysis: There is no mention of the device analyzing any biological samples from the patient. Its function is based on processing and displaying medical images.

Therefore, the ViewPoint falls under the category of a medical device used for surgical planning and navigation, not an in vitro diagnostic device.

Dear Dr. Keeler:

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 Regulations, 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 820) 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 requlations.
