Intended Use
Smith & Nephew Image Guided Surgical Instruments for Trauma Applications are intended to be used with the Universal Accessories to assist the surgeon in precisely locating anatomical structures in either open or percutaneous procedures. Image Guided Surgical Instruments for Trauma Applications are indicated for use in surgical trauma 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 (femur, tibia, humerus, radius, ulna, fibula), pelvic bone (including acetabular), calcaneus, and talus bone can be identified relative to a CT or MR based model or fluoroscopy images of the anatomy. Example procedures include but are not limited to: Spinal procedures and spinal implant procedures such as pedicle screw placement Pelvis and acetabular fracture treatment such as screw placement or ilio-sacral screw fixation Fracture treatment procedures, such as intramedullary nailing or plating or screwing or external fixation procedures in the tubular bones Fracture reduction procedures High Tibia Osteotomy
Device Description
The Smith & Nephew Image Guided Instruments for Trauma 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 accessories (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 universal accessories (passive spheres) will be available as either sterile or non-sterile and are for single use only. Each package will contain a multiple number of spheres. The infrared LEDs (light emitting diodes) or universal accessories (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 accessories (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.

No
The description focuses on optical tracking technology using infrared LEDs or passive spheres and commercially available software for real-time tracking and navigation, without mentioning AI or ML.

No
This device is for image-guided surgical navigation and assists the surgeon in locating anatomical structures. It does not directly treat or cure a disease or condition.

No
The device description and intended use indicate that the device is a set of image-guided surgical instruments used to assist surgeons in locating anatomical structures during surgical procedures, not to diagnose a condition.

No

The device description explicitly mentions hardware components like "image-guided arrays (Fighters)", "infrared LEDs (light emitting diodes)", "universal accessories (passive spheres)", and "reference frames" that are affixed to instruments and anatomy. While it uses commercially available software, the device itself is not solely software.

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

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostic devices are used to examine specimens taken from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information about a person's health. This information is used for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
  • Device Function: The Smith & Nephew Image Guided Surgical Instruments for Trauma Applications are surgical instruments used during a surgical procedure to assist the surgeon in locating anatomical structures. They work in conjunction with an IGS Platform System and imaging data (CT, MR, fluoroscopy) to provide real-time tracking and guidance.
  • No Specimen Analysis: The device does not analyze any specimens taken from the patient's body. Its function is entirely focused on guiding surgical instruments within the body based on pre-operative or intra-operative imaging.

Therefore, this device falls under the category of surgical navigation or image-guided surgery systems, 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 (OS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820); and if applicable, the electronic product radiation control provisions (Sections 531-542 of the Act); 21 CFR 1000-1050.
