The description focuses on computer-assisted surgical navigation using positional information and anatomical landmarks, without mentioning AI or ML algorithms for analysis or decision-making.
No
The device is a computer-assisted surgical navigation system used to assist surgeons in determining alignment axes and positioning implants during orthopedic surgical procedures. It does not directly treat or cure any medical condition.
No
The device is described as a "computer controlled system intended to assist the surgeon in determining reference alignment axes" and "facilitates the accurate positioning of implants and instrumentation." It is a surgical navigation system that aids in procedures like knee arthroplasty by providing positional information and angular measurements. It does not diagnose a condition or disease, but rather assists during surgical intervention.
No
The device description explicitly states that the KneeAlign™ System comprises a "single use computer module and reusable instrumentation," indicating the presence of hardware components beyond just software.
Based on the provided information, the KneeAlign "M System is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic) device.
Here's why:
- IVD devices are used to examine specimens derived from the human body. The KneeAlign "M System is a surgical navigation system used during surgery to assist the surgeon in determining anatomical alignment and positioning implants. It does not analyze blood, tissue, or other bodily fluids or substances.
- The intended use clearly describes a surgical assistance system. The description focuses on assisting the surgeon in determining reference alignment axes and positioning implants during orthopedic surgical procedures.
- The device description details a computer-assisted surgical navigation system. It describes a system that detects, measures, and displays angular measurements in a triaxial format, utilizing a computer module and registration instruments. This is consistent with a surgical navigation system, not an IVD.
Therefore, the KneeAlign "M System falls under the category of a surgical device, specifically a computer-assisted surgical navigation system, rather than an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

Device Description
The KneeAlign " System is an innovative non-invasive computer assisted surgical navigation system for use in knee arthroplasty procedures. The KneeAlign™ System is configured to detect, measure, and display angular measurement changes in a triaxial format.
The KneeAlign " System utilizes a palm-sized computer module and registration instruments to generate positional information in orthopedic procedures providing a sequence of steps for registration of anatomical landmarks, calculation of mechanical axes, and positioning of instruments relative to the mechanical axes. In knee arthroplasty procedures, the device assists the surgeon in establishing the mechanical axis of the tibia, determining the varus/valgus angle and the posterior slope angle of the cutting block relative to tibia. The KneeAlign " System comprises a single use computer module and reusable instrumentation.
The device utilizes algorithms to convert sensor outputs into spatial coordinates, providing graphical representation of instruments and anatomy on the user display screen.
