Non-Clinical Testing Summary:

Verification and Validation including hazard mitigations executed resulted in demonstrated system that met Design Input and user needs. The device was tested by certified test laboratory resulting in device being certified compliant with IEC 60601-1 ED 3.2 series, including IEC 60601-2-54 and IEC 60601-2-28. Further, the device met all applicable sections of 21 CFR Subchapter J performance standards. The proposed Orthoscan TAU MVP Mini C-Arm development occurred under our design control processes, software development processes, and overall quality management system. They included but are not limited to:

  • Risk Analysis
  • Required reviews
  • Design reviews
  • Component testing
  • Integration testing
  • Performance testing
  • Safety testing
  • Product use testing

The Orthoscan TAU MVP system arthroscopic imaging underwent non-clinical testing to confirm safety, effectiveness, and performance. Electrical safety and EMC testing met IEC 60601 standards, while software validation ensured intended functionality. Software and cybersecurity measures were validated. Results demonstrate the device is as safe and effective as the predicate for its intended use.

Ziehm-Orthoscan, Inc. conducted testing using a leading industry software utility to provide objective image quality statistical analysis of camera systems and compare the displayed arthroscopic image presented by the Orthoscan TAU MVP system to the predicate IntraVu TabletVu display system. Sharpness, color analysis and signal to noise were evaluated and showed that the Orthoscan TAU MVP system performs with equivalent or better arthroscopic image quality when compared to than the predicate IntraVu TabletVu.

Additionally, human factors and usability validation testing was conducted in accordance with IEC 62366-1 and FDA human factors guidance to confirm that intended users can safely and effectively operate the device. The usability validation evaluated representative clinical workflows, including standard fluoroscopic operation, arthroscopic imaging, and dual-mode operation combining fluoroscopy and arthroscopy, to ensure that mode transitions, user interface controls, and system feedback are clear and intuitive. Testing demonstrated that critical tasks, including those performed during dual-mode operation, can be completed without use-related errors that could result in unacceptable risk, and that identified hazards are adequately mitigated through the user interface design, labeling, and training.

Image latency testing was also performed to evaluate absolute end-to-end display latency in fluoroscopy-only, arthroscopy-only, and dual-mode operation, ensuring latency remained below industry-standard criteria established in the scientific literature. Comparative latency was also assessed between fluoroscopy-only mode and the fluoroscopy function in dual-mode operation, and between arthroscopy-only mode and the arthroscopy function in dual-mode operation, to verify that dual-mode operation did not introduce additional risk. Testing was conducted under representative and worst-case operating conditions. Results demonstrated that display latency remained within established acceptance criteria and dual mode functionality did not introduce unacceptable risk related to visualization delay, hand–eye coordination, or procedural workflow.

Therefore, Ziehm-Orthoscan, Inc. believes the proposed Orthoscan TAU MVP Mini C-arm safety and effectiveness to be substantially equivalent to that of the predicate device Orthoscan TAU (K250587) and MidasVu (K243020).

Substantial Equivalence Conclusion:
