Intended Use
This device will be used in the same manner as all three dimensional imaging products are used, similar to the Voxel System. It can be used with any two and three dimensional spinning image data such as MRI, CAT, DSA and Ultrasound produced data and converts the data into complete and real 3D images in rotational and static fashion. The device is used to aid the surgeon by permitting more precise morphological diagnosis especially in aneurysms, atherosclerotic lesions and bile duct carcinomas due to the improved view of the data. It may also facilitate highly selective interventional procedures for vascular surgeons because of the improved three dimensional vascular road map the physician sees. The system does not take the place of the physician it is only a tool to assist the physician in his diagnosis, it does not make the diagnosis for him. Decisions about what to do and how to perform a procedure rest firmly with the physician. This device is used primarily by physicians and health care workers, and is normally used under the supervision of a physician. It is not sold to the general public but may be available as a teaching tool to Universities and Medical Schools without the requirement of physician supervision.
Device Description
The DynaVue 3-D spinning Image System (3DSI) takes a stream of images (frames) and as a first step duplicates the frames and pairs them by delaying one image stream. This is done by the 3DSI's field delay circuit. With the paired image, the system has now created a parallax. In order to see a 3-D image the system creates a sequence of left or right images on the screen. After the paired images are coded " left" and " right", the information is transmitted to a controller/emitter. The emitter converts the left and right information into an infrared signal which activates the left or right shutter. The emitted 3-D images are observed with active viewing eyewear. The system can also be used with an active monitor screen, the same principles as above apply except that the infrared emitter is not needed and the active viewing evewear is replaced by passive polarizing glasses.
More Information

Not Found

No
The description focuses on image processing techniques (duplicating frames, creating parallax, sequencing left/right images) to generate 3D views, without mentioning any AI or ML algorithms for analysis, diagnosis, or decision support. The "Mentions AI, DNN, or ML" field is also explicitly marked as "Not Found".

No
The device is used to process and present imaging data to aid surgeons in diagnosis and procedure planning, but it does not directly treat or diagnose conditions. It is described as a "tool to assist the physician."

Yes

The device is used to "aid the surgeon by permitting more precise morphological diagnosis especially in aneurysms, atherosclerotic lesions and bile duct carcinomas". Although it states it "does not make the diagnosis", it is explicitly used to assist the physician in their diagnosis.

No

The device description explicitly mentions hardware components like a "field delay circuit," "controller/emitter," and "active viewing eyewear" or "passive polarizing glasses," indicating it is not software-only.

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

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are devices used to examine specimens taken from the human body, such as blood, urine, or tissue, to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
  • Device Function: The description clearly states that this device takes existing imaging data (MRI, CAT, DSA, Ultrasound) and converts it into 3D images for visualization. It processes image data, not biological specimens.
  • Intended Use: The intended use is to "aid the surgeon by permitting more precise morphological diagnosis" and "facilitate highly selective interventional procedures" by providing an improved view of the data. It explicitly states it "does not take the place of the physician it is only a tool to assist the physician in his diagnosis, it does not make the diagnosis for him." This aligns with image processing and visualization tools used in clinical settings, not IVDs.

The device is a medical imaging visualization tool, not a diagnostic test performed on biological samples.

§ 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)

  1. Dyna Vue 3-D spinning Image System (3DSI) for use as an accessory to MRI's, CAT Scans, DSA and Ultrasound systems and to permit individual sale of 3DSI for permitting this data to be viewed in true 3-D.

  2. We are claiming substantial equivalence to the Voxel System manufactured by Voxel Digital Holography which is used in a similar manner and permits 3-D imaging just as our 3DSI system does. We are also claiming substantial equivalence to the manner in which the 3D Imaging is generated as the Endolive System ( 3 D Endoscope) produced by Carl Zeiss Germany.

510-k Summary Page 2

  1. This device will be used in the same manner as the Voxel System is used, except that the 3DSI may permit real time viewing of the three dimensional data. These types of devices are used to aid the physician in visualizing the anatomy of the patient and because they provide three dimensional images, they permit the physician to see tumors and other ailments which may have otherwise been difficult to see. The system does not take the place of the physician they are only a tool used to assist the physician with his diagnosis. They do not make the diagnosis for him. They may also be used to assist the surgeon in visualizing the surgical site better prior to surgery. Decisions about what to do and how to perform a procedure still rest firmly with the surgeon. This system incorporates the intended uses of the Voxel system and now our system may also be used real time.

  2. The 3DSI is substantially equivalent to the Voxel system made by Voxel Digital Holography, Both of these systems are used to aid the physician in visualizing the anatomy of the patient. They both permit the physician to see tumors and other ailments which may have otherwise been difficult to see.

The primary differences between the two systems are the hardware that the two systems use to project the image. The Voxel system takes the slices of three dimensional data and lavers them on Voxfilm. This film is then placed in a special viewing box which the physician can look at and even walk around to view in 3-D.

The 3DSI uses a Field Delay Converter which takes the three dimensional data and delays and pairs it into two streams. This data is then fed into a monitor. If it is not an active monitor an emitter is used and the person viewing must use active eyewear. If an active monitor is used then passive polarizing glasses may be used. The image that is projected is a true 3-D image which can also show motion. While the hardware is different the image that is projected and the intended uses of the systems are virtually the same.

The 3DSI and the Zeiss Endolive system are substantially equivalent in the manner in which they project 3-D. They use much of the same hardware and both rely on the shuttering effect and glasses to view the 3-D image. The Endolive system is an endoscope that is invasive, the 3DSI is not invasive at all, it never contacts the patient. The 3DSI relies on a Field Delay Converter while the Endolive relies on another hardware piece to generate the delay. Other than this the systems are very similar in their projection and viewing of the 3-D image. We do not claim any of the intended uses of the Zeiss Endolive system we are only claiming substantial equivalence to the method of producing the 3-D image.
