3d Navigation Interface for Siremobile Iso-C 3d
Siemens Medical Solutions U
FDA Clearance Information
The device was cleared through the FDA 510(k) pathway on August 13, 2002. It is manufactured by Siemens Medical Solutions U and is classified as a Class 2 medical device.
What It Is
FDA-Cleared Indications
- Use with the Siremobil Iso-C 3D system to support three-dimensional imaging and navigation during surgical or interventional procedures.
- Provide image guidance for procedures requiring localization and targeting of anatomy.
- Support image-guided tumor ablation procedures when used with the compatible Siremobil Iso-C 3D imaging system.
Clinical Applications
- Three-dimensional imaging and navigation during image-guided surgery.
- Localization and targeting of lesions during tumor ablation.
- Intraoperative visualization of anatomy when two-dimensional fluoroscopy alone is insufficient.
- Procedural planning and navigation using images acquired by the compatible Siremobil Iso-C 3D C-arm.
Practical Considerations
- The interface is intended for use with a compatible Siremobil Iso-C 3D system; compatibility with current hardware and software should be confirmed before a procedure.
- It is an X-ray-based C-arm imaging system, not an MRI device. Radiation exposure, image quality, and patient positioning should be considered during planning.
- The system requires trained personnel who understand three-dimensional image acquisition, registration, navigation, and the limitations of intraoperative imaging.
- Image guidance does not replace clinical judgment, direct visualization when available, pathology, or other imaging needed for diagnosis and treatment planning.
- The record describes a device interface rather than a standalone implant; it does not have a patient-specific implant size or an implanted service life.
