Intended Use
The Navitrack™ System - FluoroSpine is a stereotaxic instrument indicated for use in precisely positioning instruments or implants during orthopaedic surgery, such as operations performed within spinal structures. The Navitrack™ System enables the surgeon to review radiology images from different modalities in 2D and 3D display. This system also enables the surgeon to virtually manipulate bone structures as reconstructed from these modalities in order to perform preoperative planning.
Device Description
The Navitrack "10 System - FluoroSpine device consists of a software-driven workstation, an optical tracking system, surgical instruments, and tracking accessories. It is designed to assist the surgeon in the placement of spine reconstruction components relative to the vertebrae. Tracking devices are incorporated with given surgical instruments, as well as on to bases that attach to the vertebrae, such to allow the ability to track and display to the user their respective positions intra-operatively. The vertebrae are displayed to the user as based on a fluoroscopic image obtained at the beginning of the procedure. Given instrument and implant components that need to be positioned are schematically represented superimposed on the vertebrae image to depict their relative locations.
More Information

No
The summary describes a navigation system based on optical tracking and image display, with no mention of AI or ML capabilities for image analysis, planning, or guidance.

No
The device is a surgical navigation system that assists in precise positioning during surgery, not a therapeutic device that directly treats or cures a condition.

No
The device is a surgical navigation system designed for precise instrument positioning during orthopedic surgery, not for diagnosing medical conditions.

No

The device description explicitly states that the system consists of a software-driven workstation, an optical tracking system, surgical instruments, and tracking accessories, indicating it includes hardware components.

Based on the provided information, the Navitrack™ System - FluoroSpine is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are tests performed on samples taken from the human body, such as blood, urine, or tissue, to detect diseases, conditions, or infections.
  • Navitrack System Function: The Navitrack System is a surgical navigation system used during surgery to assist the surgeon in precisely positioning instruments or implants within the spinal structures. It uses imaging data (fluoroscopy) and tracking technology to guide the surgeon in real-time.
  • No Sample Analysis: The system does not analyze biological samples from the patient. Its function is entirely focused on surgical guidance and planning based on imaging and tracking.

Therefore, the Navitrack™ System - FluoroSpine falls under the category of a surgical navigation or guidance system, not an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

Date Summary Prepared: April 9, 2003

Device Trade Name: Navitrack™ System – FluoroSpine

Device Classification Name: Stereotaxic Instrument (84 HAW); 21 CFR § 882.4560

Predicate Device:

Navitrack System™ - Optical Option, from Orthosoft Inc, 510(k) # K002053

Device Description:

The Navitrack "10 System - FluoroSpine device consists of a software-driven workstation, an optical tracking system, surgical instruments, and tracking accessories. It is designed to assist the surgeon in the placement of spine reconstruction components relative to the vertebrae. Tracking devices are incorporated with given surgical instruments, as well as on to bases that attach to the vertebrae, such to allow the ability to track and display to the user their respective positions intra-operatively. The vertebrae are displayed to the user as based on a fluoroscopic image obtained at the beginning of the procedure. Given instrument and implant components that need to be positioned are schematically represented superimposed on the vertebrae image to depict their relative locations.

Indications for Use / Intended Use:

The Navitrack™ System - FluoroSpine is a stereotaxic instrument indicated for use in precisely positioning instruments or implants during orthopaedic surgery, such as operations performed within spinal structures.

The Navitrack™ System enables the surgeon to review radiology images from different modalities in 2D and 3D display. This system also enables the surgeon to virtually manipulate bone structures as reconstructed from these modalities in order to perform preoperative planning.

This is identical to the Navitrack System™ - Optical Option predicate.

Technological Comparisons to the Predicates:

The comparisons showed that the proposed device is substantially equivalent to the Navitrack System - Optical Option. It is a modification to the predicate. The fundamental scientific technology of the Navitrack predicate is unchanged. It utilizes the same workstation, tracking technology, and instruments. The modification consists in using images obtained from a fluoroscope to depict the tracked vertebrae, as compared to using model depictions reconstructed from CT-scans as in the Navitrack. This involved changes to the software and the inclusion of accessories. The new accessories involve a device to calibrate and correct the distortion of the source x-ray image and correct the image projection plane during navigation, and an x-ray detector device to trigger the system to record the image when the user activates the fluoroscope. In addition, changes to the ergonomics of the software user interface were incorporated to improve userfriendliness.

Performance Data:

Non-clinical tests were performed to assess that no new safety and efficacy issues were raised in the device. They consisted in verifying that the accuracy and performance of the system was adequate as compared to the predicate.

Conclusion:

The information and data provided in this 510(k) Premarket Notification established that the proposed Navitrack™ System - FluoroSpine device is substantially equivalent to the Navitrack System™ - Optical Option predicate.
