The summary describes an image-guided localization system that links a probe to image data. There is no mention of AI, ML, or related concepts like deep learning, training sets, or performance metrics typically associated with AI/ML algorithms. The image processing mentioned is likely standard image registration and visualization for navigation, not AI-driven analysis.
No
A therapeutic device directly treats or cures a medical condition. This device is an image-guided localization system that assists surgeons during procedures, but it does not directly perform a therapeutic action.
No
The device is described as an "intraoperative image guided localization system" for surgery, not for diagnosing medical conditions. It helps in precisely locating anatomical structures during surgery based on pre-existing image data (CT, MR, X-ray).
No
The device description explicitly mentions a "freehand probe, tracked by a passive marker sensor system" and a "VectorVision Spider workstation," indicating the presence of hardware components beyond just software.
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. They are used outside of the body (in vitro).
- Device Description: The BrainLAB VectorVision Spider is described as an "intraoperative image guided localization system." It uses imaging data (CT, MR, X-ray) and a tracking system to guide surgical procedures within the body (in vivo).
- Intended Use: The intended use is to "enable open or percutaneous surgery" by providing localization relative to anatomical structures. This is a surgical guidance tool, not a diagnostic test performed on a sample.
Therefore, the BrainLAB VectorVision Spider falls under the category of a surgical navigation or guidance system, not an in vitro diagnostic device.
N/A
Intended Use / Indications for Use
BrainLAB VectorVision Spider is intended to be an intraoperative image guided localization system to enable open or percutaneous surgery. It links a freehand probe, tracked by a passive marker sensor system to virtual computer image space on a patient 's images data being processed by a VectorVision Spider workstation. The system is indicated for any medical condition where a reference to a rigid anatomical structure, such as the skull, a long bone or vertebra can be identified relative to a CT, MR or X-ray based model of the anatomy.

Re: K983831 Trade Name: Vector Vision2 Regulatory Class: II Product Code: HAW Dated: March 1, 1999 Received: March 3, 1999
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 Regulations. Title 21, Parts 800 to 895. A substantially equivalent determination assumes compliance with the current Good Manufacturing Practice requirement, as set forth in the Quality System Regulation (QS) for Medical Devices: General regulation (21 CFR Part 820) and that, through periodic (QS) 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.
