Integra Radionics
FDA Clearance Information
The device was cleared through the FDA 510(k) pathway on December 21, 2006, by Integra Radionics. It is classified as a Class 2 device under the product code MUJ.
What It Is
FDA-Cleared Indications
- Use for integrating and displaying medical imaging data to support surgical planning and navigation.
- Use to assist clinicians in localizing anatomical structures or targets during image-guided procedures.
- Use with compatible imaging data and navigation systems according to the device labeling and clinical workflow.
Clinical Applications
- Image-guided neurosurgical planning and navigation
- Localization of intracranial lesions or other anatomical targets during surgery
- Planning and guidance for procedures such as lesion biopsy or tumor resection when compatible imaging data are available
- Fusion and visualization of imaging studies, such as CT and MRI, for operative guidance
Practical Considerations
- This is software rather than an implanted or disposable device, so physical device size and vascular access requirements do not apply.
- Compatibility must be confirmed with the facility's imaging systems, image formats, navigation hardware, and operating-room or procedure-suite network.
- Image registration and fusion should be checked by the clinical team before relying on the displayed anatomy for navigation.
- MRI safety depends on the connected hardware and the imaging environment; the software itself should not be treated as an MRI-safe device without reviewing the applicable system documentation.
- Use requires trained personnel familiar with image registration, navigation workflows, software limitations, and verification of targeting accuracy.
