Intended Use
The Stratasys FDM MedModeler is indicated as an image processing accessory, used to create three dimensional models from 3D surface representation data or 2D contour data as a diagnostic tool, as a pre-operative planning tool, and to enhance communication with patients, other professionals or students.
Device Description
The Stratasys FDM MedModeler produces anatomical models for use in a variety of medical applications using CT and MRI imaging data. The four main parts of the FDM system, as displayed in Figure 1 (previous page) are 1) the QuickSlice Software, 2) FDM Hardware, 3) Modeling Materials and a 4) Computer Workstation.
More Information

No
The summary describes image processing software and hardware for creating 3D models from medical imaging data, but there is no mention of AI or ML algorithms being used in the process. The performance study focuses on the accuracy of the generated models, not on the performance of any AI/ML component.

No
The device is used to create three-dimensional models from imaging data as a diagnostic tool, for pre-operative planning, and for communication. It does not provide therapy or treatment.

Yes
The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" section explicitly states that the device is "used to create three dimensional models from 3D surface representation data or 2D contour data as a diagnostic tool".

No

The device description explicitly lists "FDM Hardware" and "Modeling Materials" as main parts of the system, indicating it is not software-only.

Based on the provided information, the Stratasys FDM MedModeler 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 Stratasys FDM MedModeler is described as an image processing accessory that creates 3D anatomical models from imaging data (CT and MRI). It is used for diagnostic tools, pre-operative planning, and communication.
  • Lack of Biological Sample Analysis: The device does not analyze biological samples from the patient. Its input is imaging data, not biological material.

Therefore, while it is a medical device used in a diagnostic context, it does not fit the definition of an In Vitro Diagnostic.

§ 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)
Classification. Class II (special controls; voluntary standards—Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine (DICOM) Std., Joint Photographic Experts Group (JPEG) Std., Society of Motion Picture and Television Engineers (SMPTE) Test Pattern).
