The summary describes image processing and proprietary algorithms for guidance, but does not mention AI, ML, or related concepts.
No.
The device is a surgical guidance system that assists surgeons in precisely guiding handheld surgical tools; it does not directly treat a disease or condition.
No
The device is described as an image-guided surgery (IGS) system designed to assist surgeons in precisely guiding surgical tools, not to diagnose medical conditions. Its function is to process images for surgical planning and execution.
No
The device description explicitly lists hardware components like the "SpineAssist™ device" (which includes an articulating arm and tool guide), a "Workstation," and various "Accessories" including clamps and platforms. While software is a crucial part of the system, it is not the sole component.
Based on the provided information, the SpineAssist™ System is not an In Vitro Diagnostic (IVD) device.
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use is for "precise positioning of surgical instruments or implants during general spinal surgery." This describes a surgical guidance system used during a procedure on a patient, not a device used to examine specimens outside the body.
- Device Description: The description clearly states it's a "computer controlled miniature medical image-guided surgery (IGS) system" designed to "assist surgeons in precisely guiding handheld surgical tools." This aligns with surgical navigation or robotic assistance systems, not IVDs.
- Function: The system processes images and guides tools based on a pre-operative plan. It does not perform tests on biological samples (blood, tissue, etc.) to diagnose conditions, monitor health, or screen for diseases.
In Vitro Diagnostic devices are specifically designed to perform tests on specimens taken from the human body to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening. The SpineAssist™ System's function is entirely focused on assisting with the physical act of surgery.

Device Description
The SpineAssist™ system is a computer controlled miniature medical image-guided surgery (IGS) system, which serves as a technological platform for solutions that provide unprecedented levels of accuracy, precision and accessibility in performing orthopedic procedures. The SpineAssist™ is designed to assist surgeons in precisely guiding handheld surgical tools in line with a computerized, image-based pre-operative plan along given trajectories. The system's software processes fluoroscopic and CT images via proprietary algorithms and automatically exports the desired coordinates to the SpineAssist device, which positions its articulating arm and tool guide. Using a special bone attachment component (i.e., a clamp and bridge, the Hover-T / Bi-lateral Hover-T bridge, the Bed Mount Hover-T or the Cervical Kit) the SpineAssist device attaches to the bone in the area where the procedure is being performed and assists surgeons in precisely guiding handheld surgical tools according to the computerized, image-based, pre-operative plan.
The main components of the SpineAssist™ system include:
A. SpineAssist™ device
B. Workstation
C. Accessories including the Clamp Kit for less invasive procedures, the MIS platforms: Hover-T, Bi-lateral Hover-T, Bed Mount Hover-T and the Cervical Kit, the last one intended for less invasive procedures.
The Spine Assist was previously cleared under K033413, K051676 and K063607. This 510(k) submission describes the addition of two accessories (Bilateral hover-T bridge and Bed Mount stabilization frame) that enable increased accessibility for the device over the entire range of the vertebral column, including cervical approaches; and the software changes that were introduced as improvements in user interface, as needed from the addition of the new approaches and in response to user's feedback.

Summary of Performance Studies
The following performance tests were conducted on the SpineAssist™ system, in order to validate stability and accuracy of the device under the extended intended use, i.e. cervical and minimally invasive procedures using the new stabilizing platforms:
-
- Software Validation (IEC 60601-1-4 & FDA Guidelines)
-
- Bed Mount Hover-T Stability Test
-
- Relative Movement of C2 Test
-
- Cervical Bridge Rigidity Test
-

Classification Name:
Stereotactic Instrument
Classification:
FDA has classified Stereotactic devices as a Class II medical device, with product code HAW and 21 CFR classification code 882.4560. Review by the Division of General, Restorative and Neurological Devices.
Predicate Device:
The SpineAssist™ system is substantially equivalent to the original SpineAssist™ system (manufactured by Mazor Surgical Technologies Ltd., and the subject of 510(k) document no. K033413, K051676 and K063607) and the StealthStation System (manufactured by Medtronic and the subject of 510(k) document nos. K954276 to K050438). A comparison table and detailed discussion are presented in Section 12 of this application.
Device Description:
The SpineAssist™ system is a computer controlled miniature medical image-guided surgery (IGS) system, which serves as a technological platform for solutions that provide unprecedented levels of accuracy, precision and accessibility in performing orthopedic procedures. The SpineAssist™ is designed to assist surgeons in precisely guiding handheld surgical tools in line with a computerized, image-based pre-operative plan along given trajectories.

C. Accessories including the Clamp Kit for less invasive procedures, the MIS platforms: Hover-T, Bi-lateral Hover-T, Bed Mount Hover-T and the Cervical Kit, the last one intended for less invasive procedures.
The Spine Assist was previously cleared under K033413, K051676 and K063607.

Intended Use / Indication for Use:
The SpineAssist™ System is indicated for precise positioning of surgical instruments or implants during general spinal surgery. The SpineAssist™ System may be used in either open or percutaneous procedures.
Comparison of Technological Characteristics with the predicate device:
The modified SpineAssist system is identical to the original SpineAssist system regarding all components, design, materials, basic scientific technology, etc. The only differences are that the "modified" device is intended also for cervical spinal surgery; more versatility is provided in minimally invasive spinal surgery, by allowing stabilization using a Bed Mount stabilizing frame (thus reducing the need to stabilize the device via more invasive pelvic screws) and the Bi-lateral Hover-T; and software changes providing more user interface features improving procedure workflow. To enable cervical approach, the SpineAssist includes some new accessories, including the Bilateral hover-T bridge and the Bed Mount stabilizing frame. The combination of these accessories allows extended trajectories and range of operation for the device, in three new mounting options: Bilateral Hover-T, Bed-Mount Hover-T, and Cervical Kit.
