Intended Use
BrainLAB uni-knee is intended to be an intraoperative image guided localization system to enable minimally invasive surgery. It links a freehand probe, tracked by a passive marker sensor system to virtual computer image space on an individual 3D model of the patient's bone, which is generated through acquiring multiple landmarks on the bone surface. The system is indicated for any medical condition in which the use of stereotactic surgery may be appropriate and where a reference to a rigid anatomical structure, such as the skull, a long bone, or vertebra, can be identified relative to a CT, X-ray, or MR-based model of the anatomy. The system aids the surgeon in accurately navigating a knee endoprosthesis to the intraoperatively planned position. Ligament balancing and measurements of bone alignment are provided by BrainLAB uni-knee. Example orthopedic surgical procedures include but are not limited to: - · Unicondylar Knee Replacement - · Ligament Balancing - · Range of Motion Analysis - · Patella Tracking
Device Description
BrainLAB uni-knee is intended to enable 3 dimensional implant planning and navigation for unicompartimental orthopedic knee surgery. The SW links a surgical instrument tracked by passive markers to a 3D-model of the patient's bone, which is generated by acquiring multiple landmarks on the bone surface. Uni-knee 2.0 uses the registered landmarks to navigate the femoral and tibial cutting quides to the preplanned position. Uni-knee 2.0 allows 3-dimensional reconstruction of the mechanical axes and alignment of the implants. The uni-knee 2.0 software has been designed to read in implant data and tool data from different manufacturers and offers to individually choose the prosthesis during each surgery. The uni-knee 2.0 software registers the patient data needed for planning and navigating intra-operatively. No preoperative CT-scanning is necessary.
More Information

Not Found

No
The description focuses on image-guided navigation and landmark-based registration, without mentioning AI or ML algorithms for tasks like image analysis, prediction, or automated decision-making.

No
The device is an image-guided localization system that aids surgeons in navigating during surgery and planning implants; it does not directly treat a medical condition.

No

Explanation: The device is described as an intraoperative image-guided localization system that aids surgeons in navigating a knee endoprosthesis and provides measurements. While it uses imaging data, its primary function is surgical guidance and planning, not diagnosing medical conditions.

No

The device description explicitly states it links a surgical instrument tracked by passive markers to a 3D model, indicating the presence of hardware components (surgical instruments, passive markers, sensor system) beyond just software.

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

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are devices intended for use in the collection, preparation, and examination of specimens taken from the human body (such as blood, urine, or tissue) to provide information for the diagnosis, treatment, or prevention of disease.
  • Device Function: The BrainLAB uni-knee is an image-guided surgical navigation system. Its purpose is to assist surgeons during orthopedic procedures by providing real-time localization and guidance based on anatomical landmarks and pre-operative imaging. It does not analyze biological specimens.
  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states it's an "intraoperative image guided localization system" for minimally invasive surgery, aiding in the navigation of surgical instruments and implants.
  • Device Description: The description focuses on software linking surgical instruments to 3D bone models for planning and navigation.

The device's function and intended use are entirely focused on surgical guidance and planning within the body, not on the analysis of samples taken from the body.
