Intended Use
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 any medical condition in which the use of stereotactic surgery may be considered to be safe and effective, and where a reference to a rigid anatomical structure may be made, such as: - 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. - ENT procedures. . - Orthopedic surgical procedures. .

No
The summary does not mention AI, ML, or related terms, and the description focuses on image-based navigation and planning without indicating automated learning or decision-making processes.

No
Explanation: The device is described as assisting with presurgical planning and providing orientation/reference during intra-operative procedures, which are diagnostic/guidance functions, not therapeutic.

No

The description states that the device "uses diagnostic images" and "assists the physician with presurgical planning and to provide orientation and reference information during intra-operative procedures." It does not present new diagnostic information or make a diagnosis itself; it uses pre-existing diagnostic images for planning and guidance.

Unknown

The provided text describes the intended use and device description, but it does not explicitly state whether the ViewPoint is solely software or includes hardware components. The description focuses on the function of using diagnostic images for planning and orientation, which could be achieved through software, but it doesn't exclude the possibility of accompanying hardware.

Based on the provided information, the ViewPoint 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.
  • ViewPoint's Function: The ViewPoint device uses diagnostic images of the patient (like CT or MRI scans) to assist with surgical planning and provide guidance during surgery. It does not analyze biological samples.
  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states its purpose is for presurgical planning and intra-operative procedures based on imaging, not laboratory analysis of biological specimens.

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 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.
