The description focuses on image guidance, tracking technology, and software enhancements for registration and viewing, without mentioning AI or ML.
No
The device is an image guidance system intended to aid surgeons in precisely locating anatomical structures and avoiding critical structures during procedures; it does not directly treat or cure a medical condition.
No.
The device is an image guidance system intended to aid surgeons in precisely locating anatomical structures and the position of surgical instruments during procedures, not to diagnose a medical condition.
No
The device description explicitly mentions "hardware" and "electromagnetic tracking technology," indicating it includes physical components beyond just software.
Based on the provided information, the InstaTrak 3000 System is not an In Vitro Diagnostic (IVD) device.
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use clearly states that the system is an "aid to the surgeon for precisely locating anatomical structures anywhere on the human body during either open or percutaneous procedures." This describes a surgical navigation system used during a procedure on a patient, not a device used to examine specimens in vitro (outside the body).
- Device Description: The description reinforces its use as an "image guidance system indicated for use during sinus, skull base, cranial and axial skeletal procedures." It helps the surgeon identify the location of surgical instruments relative to the patient's anatomy.
- Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing biological specimens (blood, tissue, urine, etc.) or providing diagnostic information based on such analysis. The system uses medical images (CT, MR, Xray) of the patient's anatomy.
In summary, the InstaTrak 3000 System is a surgical navigation system, which falls under the category of medical devices used to guide surgical procedures, not IVD devices used for diagnostic testing of specimens.
N/A
Intended Use / Indications for Use
The InstaTrak 3000 System is intended as an aid to the surgeon for precisely locating anatomical structures anywhere on the human body during either open or percufaneous procedures. It is indicated for any medical condition that may benefit from the use of stereotactic surgery and which provides a reference to rigid anatomical structures such as sinus, skull, cranial, a long bone or vertebra, visible on medical images such as CT, MR, or Xray.

Device Description
The InstaTrak 3000 System is an image guidance system indicated for use during sinus, skull base, cranial and axial skeletal procedures. The InstaTrak 3000 with FluoroTrak is similar to the InstaTrak 3000 System cleared under K983529. The changes to the system include software enhancements and the addition of a calibration fixture. Using the InstaTrak 3000, the surgeon can readily identify the immediate location and position of the surgical instrument during the indicated procedure. The InstaTrak 3000 assists the surgeon in avoiding critical nerves and other anatomical structures.
The InstaTrak 3000 offers multiple modes of operation that includes sinus, skull base, cranial, axial skeletal, to the user based on the indications the user desires. Software is available to the user for using any one, two, or all three of the operational modes. A selection of the operational modes is made by the user prior to the procedure depending needs of the user.
The original InstaTrak 3000 System allows the user to view the reconstructed 2D images of the patient's anatomy in response to the mouse or the tracked surgical instrument. Alignment of the patient and images is accomplished through the registration process. In all types of surgery the goal is the same, to indicate to the surgeon based on the pre-operative medical images, where the position of a tracked surgical tool is with regard to the patient's anatomy. The InstaTrak 3000 with FluoroTrak is based on the same hardware and software used in the original InstaTrak System and provides all of the above features. It utilizes the same clinically proven electromagnetic tracking technology as its predecessor.

§ 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)

The InstaTrak 3000 with FluoroTrak is essentially identical in technological characteristics to the InstaTrak 3000 System cleared under K983529 with the exception of software enhancements and the addition of the calibration fixture. The InstaTrak 3000 with FluoroTrak uses the same electromagnetic position sensing, and registration process as the original InstaTrak 3000 System cleared under K983529.
The InstaTrak 3000 with FluoroTrak, the original InstaTrak 3000 System and the Stealth Station with FluoroNav all use a computer, monitor and hard disk storage system. Both the FluoroTrak and FluoroNav systems offer image guidance using CT, MR or X-Ray images while the original InstaTrak 3000 System only offers CT and MR images.
There is only one new component associated with the InstaTrak 3000 with FluoroTrak, which is the addition of the calibration fixture. This new component will be used with the InstaTrak 3000 System and has been added to accommodate the FluoroTrak Module .
There are no new instruments used other than what was described in the original 510(k) (K983529) for the InstaTrak 3000 System.
7. PERFORMANCE TESTING
Testing was performed using the new component of the InstaTrak 3000 with FluoroTrak to determine if the new component affected device accuracy. The results showed that the device performed within the specification while using the new component.
