Intended Use
Image Guided Surgical Instruments for Hip Applications are intended to assist the surgeon in precisely locating anatomical structures in either open or percutaneous procedures. Image Guided Surgical Instruments for Hip Applications are indicated for use in surgical hip procedures, in which the use of stereotactic surgery may be appropriate, and where a reference to a rigid anatomical structure such as a long bone can be identified relative to a CT or MR based model or fluoroscopy images of the anatomy. These procedures include but are not limited to, acetabular cup placement as part of a partial or total hip arthroplasty (primary or revision).
Device Description
The Smith & Nephew Image Guided Instruments for Hip Applications are instruments that have been modified to allow image-guided arrays (Fighters) to be fixed onto the instruments. The image-guided arrays can use either infrared LEDs (light emitting diodes) or universal passive spheres to transmit or reflect the infrared LEDs (light emitting diodes) that are emitted by an IGS Platform System. Along with commercially available software, this will allow the instruments to be recognized and tracked in real time in the surgical field. The infrared LEDs (light emitting diodes) or universal passive spheres do not come in contact with the open wound during surgical procedures. The image-guided arrays that are affixed to the instruments work in conjunction with reference frames that are rigidly attached to the anatomy. Each reference frame is also fitted with either infrared LEDs (light emitting diodes) or universal passive spheres to transmit or reflect the infrared LEDs (light emitting diodes) that are emitted by the IGS Platform System. The reference frames will allow the IGS Platform System to continuously track the position of the anatomy during navigation. If any movement of the IGS Platform System or anatomy is detected, the system can compensate for it, thereby maintaining accurate navigation.
More Information

Not Found

No
The description focuses on optical tracking technology using infrared LEDs/spheres and reference frames to track instruments and anatomy in real-time. There is no mention of AI or ML for image analysis, decision support, or other functions. The system appears to be based on traditional image-guided surgery principles.

No
The device is described as surgical instruments intended to assist surgeons in precisely locating anatomical structures, not to treat or cure a disease or condition. It is a tool for navigation during surgery, not a therapeutic agent itself.

No

This device is described as surgical instruments intended to assist surgeons in precisely locating anatomical structures during hip procedures by using image guidance for navigation, not for diagnosing conditions or diseases.

No

The device description explicitly mentions modified instruments, image-guided arrays with infrared LEDs or passive spheres, and reference frames with similar components. These are physical hardware components, not solely software.

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

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are devices intended for use in the collection, preparation, and examination of specimens taken from the human body (such as blood, urine, or tissue) to provide information for diagnostic, monitoring, or screening purposes.
  • Device Function: The described device is a system of image-guided surgical instruments used during surgical procedures to assist the surgeon in precisely locating anatomical structures. It uses imaging data (CT, MR, fluoroscopy) and tracking technology to guide the placement of instruments within the body.
  • Lack of Specimen Analysis: The device does not involve the collection, preparation, or analysis of any biological specimens from the patient. Its function is entirely focused on real-time surgical navigation based on pre-operative or intra-operative imaging.

Therefore, the Smith & Nephew Image Guided Instruments for Hip Applications fall under the category of surgical navigation systems or image-guided surgery devices, not In Vitro Diagnostics.

Dear Mr. Rouss:

We have reviewed your Section 510(k) premarket notification of intent to market the device referenced above and have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to legally marketed predicate devices marketed in interstate commerce prior to May 28, 1976, the enactment date of the Medical Device Amendments, or to devices that have been reclassified in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (Act) that do not require approval of a premarket approval application (PMA). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. The general controls provisions of the Act include requirements for annual registration, listing of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration.

If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to such additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 898. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register.

Please be advised that FDA's issuance of a substantial equivalence determination does not mean that FDA has made a determination that your device complies with other requirements of the Act or any Federal statutes and regulations administered by other Federal agencies. You must comply with all the Act's requirements, including, but not limited to: registration and listing (21 CFR Part 807); labeling (21 CFR Part 801); good manufacturing practice requirements as set forth in the

quality systems (QS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820); and if applicable, the electronic product radiation control provisions (Sections 531-542 of the Act); 21 CFR 1000-1050.

This letter will allow you to begin marketing your device as described in your Section 510(k) 1 premarket notification. The FDA finding of substantial equivalence of your device to a legally marketed predicate device results in a classification for your device and thus, permits your device to proceed to the market.

If you desire specific advice for your device on our labeling regulation (21 CFR Part 801), please contact the Office of Compliance at (301) 594-4659. Additionally, for questions on the promotion and advertising of your device, please contact the Office of Compliance at (301) 594-4639. Also, please note the regulation entitled, "Misbranding by reference to premarket notification" (21CFR Part 807.97). Other general information on your responsibilities under the Act may be obtained from the Division of Small Manufacturers, International and Consumer Assistance at its toll-free number (800) 638-2041 or (301) 443-6597 or at its Internet address http://www.fda.qov/cdrh/dsma/dsmamain.html
