Intended Use
The Acumen™ Surgical Navigation System is intended to assist the surgeon in providing orientation and reference information to anatomical structures during open or percutaneous orthopedic procedures. The Acumen™ Navigation System is indicated for use in surgical knee and trauma procedures, in which the use of stereotaxic surgery may be appropriate, and where reference to rigid anatomical bony structures can be identified relative to a CT or MRI based model, fluoroscopy or an imageless model of the anatomy. These procedures include, but are not limited to knee arthroplasty or trauma reconstructive procedures.
Device Description
The Acumen™ Surgical Navigation System includes general instrumentation that is utilized with application specific software developed and supplied by Z-KAT, Inc. (Hollywood, Florida). Passive markers (spheres) are attached onto the Acumen™ instrumentation. An infrared light source generated by the camera reflects off of the passive markers to allow their position and orientation to be identified. The Acumen™ instruments are used as: 1) an independent instrument, 2) connected to instruments, which are attached to the patient, or 3) connected to the associated implant preparation and insertion instrumentation. All Acumen™ instruments will have a minimum of three (3) passive markers to be tracked by the camera system. They will also be rigidly connected to the instrumentation. Each Acumen™ instrument, utilized in the surgical procedure, will have a defined geometry of the passive marker position for a unique identification by the camera and software system. The instruments can be utilized with knee and trauma applications. The Acumen™ instruments are designed as one-time use components.
More Information

No
The description focuses on passive marker tracking and software for surgical navigation based on pre-operative imaging or imageless models. There is no mention of AI or ML algorithms for image analysis, decision support, or other functions.

No.
The device is intended to assist the surgeon with navigation and orientation during orthopedic procedures, not to provide therapy itself.

No

Explanation: The device provides orientation and reference information to assist the surgeon during procedures, rather than diagnosing a condition.

No

The device description explicitly states that the system includes "general instrumentation" and "passive markers" which are physical components, not solely software.

Based on the provided information, the Acumen™ Surgical Navigation System is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic) device.

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In vitro diagnostic devices are used to examine specimens (like blood, urine, or tissue) taken from the human body to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
  • Acumen™ System Function: The Acumen™ system is a surgical navigation system. Its purpose is to assist the surgeon by providing orientation and reference information during surgical procedures. It uses imaging data (CT, MRI, fluoroscopy, or imageless models) and tracks instruments in relation to the patient's anatomy.
  • Lack of Specimen Analysis: The description does not mention the analysis of any biological specimens from the patient. The system works with anatomical structures and surgical instruments.

Therefore, the Acumen™ Surgical Navigation System falls under the category of a surgical navigation or guidance system, not an in vitro diagnostic device.
