Intended Use

The main purpose of the medical product NaviSuite SSI Edition is to support a clinical ultra-sound session and follow percutaneous procedure by means of providing additional real-time image information from a 2nd modality like CT or MR or US or its combination with the possibility to plan the ideal treatment procedure. The second modality or their combinations are acquired and 3D is generated inside the software permitting the anatomical correlation with the patient position. By using the 2nd modality image the user gains security in assessing the morphology of the ultrasound image and obtains a virtual feed-back on the procedure provided by the virtual percutaneous tool position enabled by a dedicated receiver, its treatment region delineated by custom tables and a dedicated computation in 3D of the target region. The 2nd modality image is not intended to be used as a standalone diagnostic image since it represents information of a patient probably not congruent with the current (real) patient situation and shall therefore always been seen as an additional source of information. NaviSuite SSI Edition works in Virtual Biopsy mode also without 2nd modality data. In this case needle quidance is shown as an overlay over the real-time US image. The user can ad-iust the entry angle and trajectory of the needle before doing percutaneous procedure. NaviSuite SSI Edition system should only be operated by trained personnel who are familiar with its user manual and the operation. The 2nd modality image only should not be used for diagnostic purposes. The product NaviSuite SSI Edition was developed by MedCom in cooperation with SSI (France).

Device Story

NaviSuite SSI Edition is a software application used in clinical settings to support ultrasound-guided percutaneous procedures. It integrates real-time ultrasound with pre-acquired 3D datasets (CT, MR, or US) to provide anatomical correlation. The software generates 3D volumes from the 2nd modality, allowing clinicians to plan treatment and visualize virtual needle trajectories. In 'Virtual Biopsy' mode, it overlays needle guidance on live ultrasound images, enabling adjustment of entry angles and trajectories. The system uses a dedicated receiver for tool tracking. Clinicians use the output—side-by-side or overlay views—to assess morphology and guide interventions. The device is operated by trained personnel; it does not provide diagnostic results and is intended solely as an additional source of information for procedural guidance. It benefits patients by providing enhanced visualization during percutaneous procedures.

Clinical Evidence

No clinical data provided. Bench testing only. Verification and validation included system accuracy tests using a CIRS Abdominal Phantom to confirm virtual needle projection, and tracking quality tests to detect sensor distortion. Accuracy of registration is dependent on user input, with a technical overlapping accuracy of at least 5mm under optimal conditions.

Technological Characteristics

Software-based image processing system. Operates on Linux platform (integrated with AIXPLORER ultrasound). Uses DICOM 3.0 standard for data input. Features include 3D volume generation, virtual needle tracking via dedicated receiver, and overlay visualization. Complies with ISO 14971 (risk management) and IEC 62304 (software lifecycle).

Indications for Use

Indicated for supporting clinical ultrasound sessions and percutaneous procedures by providing real-time image guidance via 2nd modality (CT, MR, or US) data integration and virtual needle trajectory overlay. Intended for use by trained personnel on patients undergoing percutaneous procedures. Not for standalone diagnostic use.

{8}------------------------------------------------

#### l. Technological Comparison to Predicate Devices

The device NaviSuite SSI Edition is substantially equivalent to the predicate device MyLabTwice 6200 (K153277).

It is the same software used in the MyLabTwice 6200 device which was ported to the LINUX operating system of the AIXPLORER ultrasound device. Differences exist in the hardware and the user interfaces. In comparison to MyLabTwice, the NaviSuite software receives the live US image through a shared memory channel where in the MyLabTwice it is grabbed by a frame grabber card. In contrast to the MyLabTwice solution, the NaviSuite SSI Edition does not contain a planning environment and the contouring possibilities have been reduced to defining a ball target at places of interest instead of freehand contouring used in the MyLabTwice device.

### MIM 3.5 (CIRCA)

The MIM 3.5 and NaviSuite SSI Edition software can load and display DICOM datasets. The DICOM files are written following a standard which every DICOM compliant software has to follow in order to parse the data. Both software order the slices based on their spatial position and orientation to generate a 3D object of the scanned body region and can compute and visualize virtual cuts and slices through the 3D object.

### J. Non-clinical Performance Data

Non-clinical verification and validation software tests were conducted to confirm that NaviSuite SSI Edition meets its intended use and is safe and effective.

### System Accuracy Test:

The software cannot determine the accuracy of the treatment procedure. The Therapist or Physician is responsible for verifying the correctness of the registration. For this means the software offers side by side and overlay views (with a real-time US image).

Needle navigation was tested using a CIRS Abdominal Phantom to confirm the software projected virtual needle position over the real time US image.

### Tracking Quality Test:

The system can detect low sensor tracking quality and is able to show if the tracking is distorted (for example by metallic objects etc.).

Tests for verifying the tracking accuracy and senor in range status have been carried out.

{9}------------------------------------------------

Statement from the User Manual about the systems accuracy:

# 2. Security

It is not admitted to ground a diagnosis just on the results of NaviSuite. In particular the displayed image of the 2nd modality shall never be used as a standalone source for assessments since it represents computed and thus artificial information. MedCom is not engaging in any responsibility for indirect harms due to the use and evaluation of diagnosis data furnished by NaviSuite.

# 6. System Accuracy

# 2nd Modality Image Display

The system accuracy concerning the matching between the ultrasound image and the 2nd modality image depends highly on the registration process and the condition of the patient compared to the situation when the 2nd modality (i.e. the CT scan) has been acquired. This also includes the breathing of the patient. Thus, please be aware that the current patient breath state should be comparable to the one during the 2nd modality acquisition.

However, from the technical point of view an "overlapping" accuracy of at least 5mm can be achieved under the presumption that the registration has been done with an overall error better than 5mm.

# K. Conclusion

Based on the information provided in this Premarket Notification MedCom concludes that NaviSuite SSI Edition is as safe and effective and substantially equivalent to the predicate devices described herein.
