Intended Use

The KARL STORZ ICG Imaging System is intended to provide real-time visible and near-infrared fluorescence imaging.

Device Story

System provides real-time high-definition visible (VIS) and near-infrared (NIR) fluorescence imaging during surgery. Input consists of optical signals captured via HOPKINS ICG/NIR endoscopes or VITOM II ICG/NIR telescope, illuminated by a light source. Signals are processed by the Image1 S Camera Control Unit (CCU) and displayed on a medical-grade HD monitor. Used in OR settings by surgeons to assess blood flow, tissue perfusion, and anatomical structures (e.g., biliary ducts, neuro-structures). NIR imaging is selected by the surgeon to confirm perfusion or visualize specific structures after initial VIS navigation. Output provides visual feedback to surgeons, aiding intraoperative decision-making regarding tissue viability and surgical navigation. Benefits include enhanced visualization of perfusion and critical structures during minimally invasive procedures.

Clinical Evidence

No clinical trials conducted. Evidence consists of published clinical literature supporting the effectiveness of NIR imaging for neuro- and endonasal skull base surgeries and pediatric applications. Bench testing verified design specifications, including color performance, detection linearity, distortion, dynamic range, illumination, resolution, SNR, sensitivity, and depth of field.

Technological Characteristics

Rigid rod-lens endoscopes (4mm, 5mm, 10mm) and VITOM II telescope. Components: camera head (H3Z-FI), fiber-optic light cables, light source, Image1 S CCU. Connectivity: DVI-D or 3G-SDI output to HD monitor. Sterilization: Steam sterilization. Standards: IEC 60601-1, IEC 60601-1-2, IEC 60601-2-18, ISO 8600 series, ISO 10993.

Indications for Use

Indicated for minimally invasive surgery in adults and pediatrics, including cranial neurosurgery and endonasal skull base surgery (adults and pediatrics > 6 years), and plastic, micro- and reconstructive surgical procedures. Enables visualization of anatomy using white light and assessment of vessels, blood flow, and tissue perfusion using near-infrared (NIR) imaging with ICG dye. Also indicated for visualization of major extra-hepatic bile ducts (cystic, common bile, common hepatic) as an adjunct to white light and intraoperative cholangiography; not for standalone biliary visualization.

Regulatory Classification

Identification

A neurological endoscope is an instrument with a light source used to view the inside of the ventricles of the brain.
