Intended Use
The GALILEO CAS/NAV TKR System is intended for computer-assisted navigation of the GALILEO-CAS instruments with the aim to position the implants of the TC-PLUS™ Solution Knee (K000666 - S/E 10/13/00) optimally for the patient.
Device Description
The GALILEO CAS/NAV TKR System is a system for computer-assisted navigation of the GALILEO-CAS instruments with the aim to position TC-PLUS™ Solution Knee prostheses optimally for the patient. The collection of patient data required for this occurs exclusively operatively. A preoperative CT scan is not necessary. The connection between patient and computer is made via two infrared transmitters (active locators), which are attached to the distal femur and to the proximal tibia. Two passive locators are used for the spatial arrangement of the instruments. A manual navigation key button is used for scanning the anatomical bone features (landmarks). An infrared camera locates the locators as well as the manual key button and is connected to the computer. The computer-assisted Galileo CAS Total Knee Replacement System supports the operating surgeon performing the total knee replacement procedure. The system takes the femur-cutting device to the required position and enables resections with high accuracy and flexibility.
More Information

No
The description focuses on computer-assisted navigation using infrared tracking and manual input of anatomical landmarks, without mentioning AI or ML algorithms for data processing or decision support.

No
The device is a computer-assisted navigation system used to position implants during total knee replacement surgery. It aids in the surgical procedure but does not directly treat a disease or condition; therefore, it is not a therapeutic device.

No

The device is described as a computer-assisted navigation system used during surgery to optimally position implants. It aids the surgeon in performing the procedure but does not diagnose a disease or condition.

No

The device description explicitly mentions hardware components such as infrared transmitters, passive locators, a manual navigation key button, and an infrared camera, all of which are integral to the system's function.

Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states that the system is for "computer-assisted navigation of the GALILEO-CAS instruments with the aim to position the implants...optimally for the patient." This describes a surgical guidance system used during a procedure, not a device used to perform tests on samples taken from the body to diagnose or monitor a condition.
  • Device Description: The description details the components and function of a surgical navigation system (infrared transmitters, camera, computer, manual navigation key button) used to guide instruments and position implants. It does not mention any components or processes related to analyzing biological samples.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing blood, tissue, or other bodily fluids, nor is there any indication of providing diagnostic information based on such analysis.

IVD devices are specifically designed to perform tests on samples taken from the human body to provide information for the diagnosis, monitoring, or treatment of diseases or conditions. This device's function is entirely focused on assisting a surgical procedure.

The computer-assisted Galileo CAS Total Knee Replacement System supports the operating surgeon performing the total knee replacement procedure. The system takes the femur-cutting device to the required position and enables resections with high accuracy and flexibility.

Due to the precise computer-assisted references and the correct positioning of the cutting device the bone resections can be performed with the utmost accuracy.

The Galileo CAS system essentially consists of two components, the electronic components and the instruments, which are attached to the distal femur. The instruments, which are driven by small electric (lowvoltage) motors, are controlled by the computer, to ensure correct positioning of the femur-cutting device.
