Device Story
iPlan is a software-based treatment planning application for medical professionals (surgeons, radiologists). It imports medical imaging (DICOM) to perform image fusion, segmentation, and atlas-assisted visualization. Modules support cranial, ENT, spine, and CMF procedures. Key functions include: automatic/manual registration, BOLD MRI mapping, DTI fiber tracking, trajectory planning, and stereotactic arc calculation. Outputs are treatment plans, 3D models, and surgical trajectories used for image-guided surgery or further processing. The device aids clinical decision-making by providing anatomical visualization and surgical simulation, potentially improving surgical precision and patient outcomes.
Clinical Evidence
Clinical evaluation based on literature studies. No prospective clinical trials conducted. Performance validated via bench testing, integration testing, and usability workshops with prototype software. Compatibility with previous versions and predicate workflows documented in review protocols.
Technological Characteristics
Software-based planning application. Supports DICOM and STL data formats. Features include image fusion (CT, MRI, PET, SPECT), automatic/manual segmentation, DTI fiber tracking, BOLD MRI processing, and 3D volume rendering. Connectivity via standard DICOM/archive imports. Operates as a standalone planning workstation.
Indications for Use
Indicated for medical professionals (surgeons, radiologists) to view, present, and document medical imaging for surgical planning and simulation. Procedures include cranial (tumor resection, shunt, biopsy, stereotactic interventions, electrode recording), ENT (sinus/tumor surgery), spine (tumor, pedicle screw, vertebroplasty), and cranio-maxillofacial surgery.
Regulatory Classification
Identification
A computed tomography x-ray system is a diagnostic x-ray system intended to produce cross-sectional images of the body by computer reconstruction of x-ray transmission data from the same axial plane taken at different angles. This generic type of device may include signal analysis and display equipment, patient and equipment supports, component parts, and accessories.

## 7. Assessment of non-clinical performance data: non clinical tests
Usability workshops were performed with prototype versions of the software which has no relevant user interface differences to the final version and is therefore equivalent to the final version in respect to the usability validation.
Moreover an Expert Group Review has worked with Brainlab in order to tailor the existing iPlan planning functionalities to the specific needs of CMF surgeons.
#### 8. Clinical Evaluation/Validation
The clinical evaluation has been based on literature studies.
#### 9. Application performance testing
On different levels of development (module, subsystem, system) specific bench and integration tests were conducted. Internal standards were tested and documented as conformance report, environment compatibility and interfaces. Compatibility with previous version and comparable workflows to predicate devices were documented in corresponding review protocols.
#### 10. Conclusions
The submitted information in this premarket notification is complete and supports a substantial equivalence decision.

Dear Mr. Schwiersch:
We have reviewed your Section 510(k) premarket notification of intent to market the device referenced above and have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to legally marketed predicate 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) that do not require approval of a premarket approval application (PMA). 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 class II (Special Controls), it may be subject to such additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in Title 21, Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), Parts 800 to 895. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register.
Please be advised that FDA's issuance of a substantial equivalence determination does not mean that FDA has made a determination that your device complies with other requirements of the Act or any Federal statutes and regulations administered by other Federal agencies. You must comply with all the Act's requirements, including, but not limited to: registration and listing (21 CFR Part 807); labeling (21 CFR Parts 801 and 809); medical device reporting (reporting of
{5}------------------------------------------------
medical device-related adverse events) (21 CFR 803); and good manufacturing practice requirements as set forth in the quality systems (QS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820). This letter will allow you to begin marketing your device as described in your Section 510(k) premarket notification. The FDA finding of substantial equivalence of your device to a legally marketed predicate device results in a classification for your device and thus, permits your device to proceed to the market.
If you desire specific advice for your device on our labeling regulation (21 CFR Parts 801 and 809), please contact the Office of In Vitro Diagnostic Device Evaluation and Safety at (301) 796-5450. Also, please note the regulation entitled, "Misbranding by reference to premarket notification" (21 CFR Part 807.97). For questions regarding the reporting of adverse events under the MDR regulation (21 CFR Part 803), please go to http://www.fda.gov/MedicalDevices/Safety/ReportalProblem/default.htm for the CDRH's Office of Surveillance and Biometrics/Division of Postmarket Surveillance.
