Intended Use

The DigiMatch™ ROBODOC® Surgical System is intended for use as a device, which uses diagnostic images of the patient acquired specifically to assist the physician with presurgical planning and to provide orientation and reference information during intra-operative procedures, The robotic surgical tool, under the direction of the surgeon, precisely implements the presurgical software plan.

The preoperative planning software and robotic surgical tool is used as an alternative to manual planning and broaching/reaming techniques for femoral canal preparation in primary total hip arthroplasty (THA).

The DigiMatch ROBODOC Surgical System is indicated for Orthopedic procedures in which the broaching/reaming in primary total hip arthroplasty (THA) may be considered to be safe and effective and where references to rigid anatomical structures may be made.

Device Description

The DigiMatch™ ROBODOC® Surgical System consists of the 510(k)-cleared (K960685) ORTHODOC® Preoperative Planning Workstation (ORTHODOC), and a Robot composed of an electromechanical arm, electronics control cabinet, display monitor and miscellaneous accessories (ROBODOC). The System (ORTHODOC and ROBODOC) is a threedimensional graphical preoperative planner and implementation tool and is indicated as an alternative to template planning and manual broaching for treatment of patients who require primary total hip arthroplasty (THA). The ORTHODOC component of the System allows a surgeon to preoperatively assess a patient's femoral anatomy and state of hip disease, select an optimally sized femoral stem implant from a library of prostheses, and determine where the implant should be positioned within the femur. Then ROBODOC component of the System, under direct control by the surgeon, will precisely implement the preoperative plan.

AI/ML Overview

The provided text describes the DigiMatch™ ROBODOC® Surgical System and its premarket notification (K072629) to the FDA. However, the document does not explicitly state specific quantitative acceptance criteria for performance metrics. Instead, it focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to predicate devices and proving safety and efficacy through various studies.

The closest to "acceptance criteria" is the demonstration of "equivalence in Harris Hip Scores" in the clinical trials, implying that the device's performance should be at least as good as manual methods in this regard. The non-clinical studies focus on accuracy and biological response.

Here's a breakdown of the requested information based on the provided text, with caveats where information is not explicitly stated:

Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance

Acceptance Criteria (Implied)Reported Device Performance
Accuracy of Femur Cutting (Non-clinical)ROBODOC was more accurate than manual broaching in the cadaver study and animal study.
Gaps between Implant and Bone (Non-clinical)Significant reduction in gaps between the implant and bone with ROBODOC compared to manual broaching in the cadaver study. In the animal study, ROBODOC showed better apposition of implants with cortical and cancellous bone.
Bone Integrity/Damage (Non-clinical)Animal study revealed many instances of fracture or osteotomy in the control group (manual) compared to none in the ROBODOC group. ROBODOC group had more consistent cortical bone continuity.
Clinical Efficacy (Harris Hip Scores)Equivalence in Harris Hip Scores was demonstrated between the ROBODOC group and the manual control group in both the First and Second U.S. Trials.
Precise and Reliable Implantation of Preoperative PlanDemonstrated in the First U.S. Trial through fit and alignment of the femoral implant.
SafetyConfirmed as safe and effective through the First and Second U.S. Trials, as well as non-clinical studies (e.g., absence of fractures/osteotomies in the animal study and histological findings related to bone integrity). The FDA's substantial equivalence determination implies it meets safety benchmarks comparable to predicate devices.
Substantial Equivalence to Predicate DevicesThe device was determined to be substantially equivalent to Voyager/Tactile Guidance System - CT (K052851), Frameless Neuromate (K991081), and da Vinci Surgical System (K043153) based on technological characteristics and principles of operation (Table 1) and confirmed by the FDA's 510(k) clearance letter.

Study Details:

  1. Sample Size used for the test set and the data provenance:

    • Cadaver Study: Sample size not specified. Data provenance: Not explicitly stated, but typically cadaver studies are conducted in a controlled lab environment.
    • Animal Study: 20 male greyhounds. Data provenance: Not explicitly stated, but typically animal studies are conducted in a controlled lab environment.
    • First U.S. Trial (Clinical): Sample size for ROBODOC group and manual control group not specified. Data provenance: U.S., prospective clinical trial.
    • Second U.S. Trial (Clinical): Sample size for ROBODOC group and manual control group not specified. Data provenance: U.S., prospective clinical trial (IDE # G000071).
  2. Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts:
    The document does not specify the number of experts or their qualifications for establishing ground truth for any of the studies (cadaver, animal, or clinical). For clinical trials, "Harris Hip Scores" are typically evaluated by orthopedic surgeons or trained clinicians. Histological examinations would involve pathologists.

  3. Adjudication method (e.g., 2+1, 3+1, none) for the test set:
    The document does not specify any adjudication methods (e.g., 2+1, 3+1 consensus) for establishing ground truth in any of the studies.

  4. If a multi-reader multi-case (MRMC) comparative effectiveness study was done. If so, what was the effect size of how much human readers improve with AI vs without AI assistance:
    No, an MRMC study was NOT done. The studies described compare the robotic system (ROBODOC) to manual techniques for hip arthroplasty, not human readers with or without AI assistance in an imaging interpretation context. The device is a surgical system that implements a plan, not an AI diagnostic tool that assists human interpretation.

  5. If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done:
    Yes, in essence, the "ROBODOC" component operates in a standalone manner in terms of implementing the presurgical plan. The document states: "The ROBODOC component of the System, under direct control by the surgeon, will precisely implement the preoperative plan." While under "direct control by the surgeon," the precision and execution of the plan by the robot itself is an algorithmic function. The performance of the robotic cutting was evaluated against manual cutting in cadaver and animal studies, and clinicallly, its implementation of the plan led to equivalent Harris Hip Scores.

  6. The type of ground truth used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc.):

    • Cadaver Study: "Accuracy of cutting the femur" and "measurement of the gap between the bone and implant." Implies objective measurements.
    • Animal Study: "Accuracy of cutting the femur," "histological examinations of the cavity/implant interface" (pathology), and observation of "fracture or osteotomy."
    • Clinical Studies (First & Second U.S. Trials): "Fit and alignment of the femoral implant" (likely based on imaging and surgical assessment) and "Harris Hip Scores" (patient-reported outcomes and clinical assessment of hip function).
  7. The sample size for the training set:
    The document does not specify any separate "training set" for the DigiMatch™ ROBODOC® Surgical System. The device's "training" and validation would have occurred during its development and prior testing, which is not detailed here. The studies mentioned (cadaver, animal, clinical) serve as validation/test sets to demonstrate safety and effectiveness for regulatory approval.

  8. How the ground truth for the training set was established:
    As no specific "training set" is described for the device's algorithmic development, this information is not available in the provided text. The ORTHODOC component is described as being "510(k)-cleared (K960685)," indicating prior regulatory review, but details of its development and ground truth establishment are not in this K072629 summary.

Summary of Safety and Effectiveness K072629

Summary of Performance Testing

ISS has completed bench, animal, cadaver and clinical testing that assess the safety and efficacy of the ROBODOC System.

Nonclinical Studies

Nonclinical cadaver and animal studies provide an accurate means of determining cavity accuracy and placement. The value of such studies is that they allow a measurement of the gap between the bone and implant. They also permit histological examinations of the cavity/implant interface, which has value in determining whether the implant apposition within the cavity is sufficiently narrow.

Cadaver Study

The cadaver study compared the accuracy of cutting the femur with the ROBODOC versus manual broaching. The results showed that the ROBODOC was more accurate than manual broaching and led to significantly reduced gaps between the implant and bone.

Animal Study

The animal study, involving 20 male greyhounds, also supports the conclusion that the ROBODOC is more accurate than manual broaching in cutting the femur. Histological examination revealed many instances of fracture or osteotomy in the control group, compared to none in the ROBODOC group. In addition, histological examination revealed that the ROBODOC group had more consistent cortical bone continuity, better apposition of implants with cortical and cancellous bone, and appeared to have less cancellous bone hypertrophy.

Clinical Studies

The First U.S. Trial (G920035) was conducted using the "pin-based" technology, which required three locator (fiduciary) pins to register the robotic device to the patient. The primary endpoints of efficacy that demonstrated precise and reliable implantation of the preoperative plan were fit and alignment of the femoral implant. Primary clinical efficacy was demonstrated showing equivalence in Harris Hip Scores between the ROBODOC group and the manual control group.

The Second U.S. Trial (IDE # G000071) was undertaken with the "pinless" DigiMatch™ ROBODOC® Surgical System. The DigiMatch™ technology modified the ROBODOC System so as not to require pre-operative placement of fiduciary pins. The data from this trial also confirmed the safety and efficacy of the ROBODOC System. As with the First IDE Trial, primary clinical efficacy was demonstrated showing equivalence in Harris Hip Scores between the ROBODOC group and the manual control group.

Conclusion

The DigiMatch™ ROBODOC® Surgical System, which is substantially equivalent to the Voyager/Tactile Guidance System - CT, the Frameless Neuromate and the da Vinci Surgical System, has been shown to be safe and effective for its intended use.
