IGSTK Phase IIIJan 2007Slide 15 Other issues (miscellaneous slide) FDA approval of toolkit –Want to get an image-guided application based on IGSTK approved –Georgetown submitted to FDA this fall –FDA said no IDE was needed due to existence of predicate devices What else goes here?

IGSTK Phase IIIJan 2007Slide 16 Kevins To Do List for IGSTK Update web site

IGSTK Phase IIIJan 2007Slide 17 For the Discussion (deliberately provocative!) Is IGSTK too hard to use? –Or is that the price to pay for robustness? Is the IGSTK process broken? –Requirements part appears to be
