More Information

Not Found

No
The summary describes a surgical navigation system with standard features like 3D marker search, registration, tracking, planning, and instrument learning. There is no mention of AI, ML, or related concepts in the device description, intended use, or the "Mentions AI, DNN, or ML" section. The listed features are typical of traditional image-guided surgery systems.

No
The device is described as a viewing and navigation tool for surgical procedures, aiding in localization and planning rather than directly treating a disease or condition.

No

Explanation: The device is described as a "viewing and navigation tool" and is intended for pre-operative planning and intraoperative localization and navigation during surgery. It does not perform any diagnostic functions like detecting disease or assessing medical conditions.

No

The device description explicitly lists several hardware components (Instrument Pointing, Instrument Learner, Instrument Switchbox, Tracker, Flexible camera pole, Pedicle Awl) as part of the EasyGuide Spine option, indicating it is not solely software.

Based on the provided information, the Philips EasyGuide with the Spine option is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic) device.

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly describes the device as a "viewing and navigation tool for all cranial surgical processes" and for "planning spine surgery and for localizing and navigating during spine surgery." This indicates the device is used during surgical procedures to guide the surgeon, not to perform tests on samples taken from the body to diagnose a condition.
  • Device Description: The description focuses on hardware and software components used for tracking, registration, planning, and navigation within the surgical field. It mentions surgical instruments and components used in the sterile field. This aligns with a surgical navigation system, not an IVD device.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples (blood, tissue, etc.), detecting analytes, or providing diagnostic information based on in vitro testing.

IVD devices are specifically designed to examine specimens derived from the human body to provide information for the diagnosis, monitoring, or treatment of a disease or condition. The Philips EasyGuide's function is to assist the surgeon in navigating and localizing within the patient's body during surgery.
