K091160 is an FDA 510(k) clearance for the LUNGPOINT VIRTUAL BRONCHOSCOPIC NAVIGATION VBN SYSTEM. Classified as System, Image Processing, Radiological within the LLZ classification (a category encompassing advanced image processing and PACS-adjacent software), Class II - Special Controls.

Submitted by Broncus Technologies, Inc. (Mountain View, US). The FDA issued a Cleared decision on May 5, 2009 after a review of 14 days - a notably fast clearance cycle.

This device falls under the Radiology FDA review panel, regulated under 21 CFR 892.2050 - the FDA radiology and imaging software oversight framework. As a Special 510(k), this submission covers a manufacturer modification to an existing cleared device rather than a new device introduction.

Device pattern: Incremental AI imaging tool. Low regulatory complexity profile. Overall, this clearance reflects a predicate-aligned approval typical of modern AI radiology extensions - not a novel clinical breakthrough, but a validated iteration within an established regulatory category.
