Intended Use

Intellijoint VIEW is indicated to assist qualified healthcare professionals in preoperative planning and postoperative review of orthopedic surgery. The device allows for orthopedic implant to be overlaid on medical images for the purpose of selecting and positioning implants. The device includes tools for performing measurements and evaluating surgical treatment options. Clinical judgement and experience are required to properly use the software.

Device Story

Intellijoint VIEW is a web-based SaMD for orthopedic surgeons to perform preoperative planning and postoperative review. Input consists of 2D radiographic images. The software provides tools for image scaling, distance/angular measurements, and overlaying orthopedic implant templates. It features a 'Hip-Spine Assessment' module that analyzes standing and sitting lateral images to evaluate spinopelvic relationships, informing acetabular cup positioning. Surgeons use the output to select and position implants and assess anatomical changes like leg length discrepancy. The device is used in clinical settings; it does not perform primary image interpretation. By providing precise measurements and templating, it assists surgeons in surgical planning, potentially improving implant positioning accuracy and patient outcomes.

Clinical Evidence

No clinical data. Bench testing only. Verification included software functional and unit testing, and accuracy testing for distance and angular measurements. Validation included simulated use testing by orthopedic surgeons to confirm user needs and intended use.

Technological Characteristics

Web-based SaMD; compatible with MacOS and Windows. Performs 2D radiographic image processing, templating, and measurement. Angular measurement accuracy ± 0.8°; distance measurement accuracy ± 0.3 mm. Software level of concern: moderate. No hardware components; standalone software application.

Indications for Use

Indicated for qualified healthcare professionals performing preoperative planning and postoperative review of orthopedic surgery, specifically hip procedures. Not for use on mobile phones or tablets.

Regulatory Classification

Identification

A medical image management and processing system is a device that provides one or more capabilities relating to the review and digital processing of medical images for the purposes of interpretation by a trained practitioner of disease detection, diagnosis, or patient management. The software components may provide advanced or complex image processing functions for image manipulation, enhancement, or quantification that are intended for use in the interpretation and analysis of medical images. Advanced image manipulation functions may include image segmentation, multimodality image registration, or 3D visualization. Complex quantitative functions may include semi-automated measurements or time-series measurements.

Special Controls

*Classification.* Class II (special controls; voluntary standards—Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine (DICOM) Std., Joint Photographic Experts Group (JPEG) Std., Society of Motion Picture and Television Engineers (SMPTE) Test Pattern).

Performance Data The following tests were performed to demonstrate the substantial equivalence of Intellijoint® VIEW to its predicate devices: | Test | Summary | Result | |-------------------------------------------|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|---------------------------------------------------------| | Verification | | | | Software Functional<br>and Unit Tests | Verified that Intellijoint® VIEW satisfies functional requirements and performs as intended.<br>Algorithms and measurement calculations were verified in these tests. | Software satisfied all requirements and specifications. | | Accuracy Test | Provides confirmation that distance and angular measurements satisfy requirements for accuracy.<br>Provides confirmation that implant templates are displayed correctly and accurately. | Software satisfied all accuracy requirements. | | Validation | | | | Simulated Use and<br>Usability Validation | Simulated use testing was performed by qualified orthopedic surgeons on radiographic images following a typical workflow.<br>This test validated that Intellijoint® VIEW satisfies user needs and intended use. | All user needs were met. | The testing demonstrated that the Intellijoint® VIEW is substantially equivalent to the legally marketed predicate devices for its intended use. ## Non-Clinical Testing Non-clinical testing was performed to assess the safety and effectiveness of the device, to demonstratethat themeasurement tools produced accurate, repeatable, and reproducible implant selection, sizing, and placement of components. Testing verified that the software application is operating according to specified design requirements. Intellijoint VIEW displays angular measurements to within ± 0.8°and distance measurements to within ± 0.3 mm of their true value. Distance measurements of resultant position changes due to implant placement, are displayed to within ± 1 mm of their true value. Supporting documentation is included in this 510(k) Premarket Notification and supports the claims of substantial equivalence to the predicate devices. Software testing was conducted, and documentation was provided as recommended by FDA's Guidance for Industry and FDA Staff, "Guidance for the Content of Premarket Submissions for Software as a Medical Device". The software application was of "moderate" level of concern because a failure or latent flaw in the software could indirectly result in minor injury to the patient through incorrect or delayed information. ## Clinical Testing Clinical testing was not necessary for this Traditional 510(k). {8}------------------------------------------------ Image /page/8/Picture/2 description: The image shows the logo for "Intellijoint Surgical". The logo consists of a geometric shape on the left and the company name on the right. The geometric shape is made up of three triangles, stacked on top of each other, in different shades of blue and gray. The company name is written in a sans-serif font, with the word "Intellijoint" in a larger font size than the word "Surgical". # 9. Conclusion Based on the indications for use, technological characteristics, performance testing, and comparison to the predicate devices, Intellijoint® VIEW has been shown to be substantially equivalent to the legally marketed predicate devices identified in this submission and does not present any increased risk to safety or effectiveness. Based on the information supplied in this 510(k), it is our conclusion that our device is safe, effective, and substantially equivalent to the primary predicate device.
