Reasonably foreseeable misuse

The misuse planned for LAIA XR would focus on usability problems due to insufficient system training. On the other hand, the interaction of virtual reality requires a short process of adaptation to the technology that can be confusing for a new user.

An insufficient quality medical image will cause an imperfect reconstruction of the three-dimensional medical model that will greatly limit the capabilities of the software and the performance of surgical planning.

Residual risks and side effects

LAIA XR does not generate any significant residual risk or cause side effects on the patient.

Working principle

The software takes advantage of the immersive visualization power offered by new virtual reality technologies and combines it with a wide variety of powerful tools that facilitate the surgical planning process on the three-dimensional image.

VIII) Performance Data

The software LAIA XR has been tested to verify its safety and effectiveness. Both preclinical and clinical tests have been conducted, to determine the device's performance, functionality and reliability characteristics.

Preclinical testing, including design verification and validation testing, software verification, performance testing (accuracy and repeatability), human factors/usability testing and head-mounted display (HMD) bench testing, has been successfully carried out. The device passed all of the tests based on pre-determined pass/fail criteria.

A clinical state-of-the-art evaluation, including a scientific literature assessment, has also been conducted.

As a result of the testing, potential risks were analyzed and satisfactorily mitigated in the device design.

The conclusions drawn from the nonclinical and clinical tests demonstrate that the device is as safe, as effective, and performs as well as or better than the legally marketed device.

IX) Conclusion

The subject device is substantially equivalent in the areas of technical characteristics, general function, application and indications of use to the predicate device K213215.
