Intended Use
The NavioPFS™ System is intended to assist the surgeon in providing software defined spatial boundaries for orientation and reference information to anatomical structures during orthopedic procedures. The NavioPFS™ System is indicated for use in surgical knee procedures, in which the use of stereotactic surgery may be appropriate, and where reference to rigid anatomical bony structures can be determined. These procedures include unicondylar knee replacement.
Device Description
The NavioPFS™ System is a computer-assisted orthopedic surgical navigation and surgical burring system. The system uses established technologies of navigation via a passive infrared tracking camera to aid the surgeon in establishing a bone surface model for the targery and to plan the surgical implant location based on predefined bone landmarks and known configuration of the surgical implant. The NavioPFS™ System then aids the surgeon in executing the surgical plan by using a standard off-theshelf surgical drill motor and bur (Anspach/Synthes eMax2 plus (K080802) which has been adapted using a tracking system. The surgical bur is located in a handpiece which allows the bur to move within the handbiece. In the NavioPFSM System the software controls the position of the surgical bur relative to the end of a guard attached to the handpiece and prohibits the bur from cutting bone as it approaches the planned target surface. As the planned surface is reached the tip of the bur is fully retracted within the guard. An alternate mode of operation is the speed control mode. In this mode the speed of the bur is controlled and the bur stops as the planned surface is reached. In this mode of operation the bur does not retract into the guard. This mode of operation is useful in shaping posterior surfaces of the condyle as well as placing post holes. After the bone is prepared the surgeon is prompted to do a trial range of motion (ROM) test. Data collected using the tibial and femoral trackers is displayed as the knee and limb through a series of flexion, extension and rotational movements. Data is collected from the trackers and displayed in graphical formation is for use by the surgeon in determining fit of the implant (either the trial implant or the final implants after cementing) prior to finalization of the procedure. The NavioPFS™ Computer system maintains a log of the patient data and procedure data. Each entry is date and time stamped. Data log entries include date and for data line entry, patient and procedure ID. implant ID. step in process and error messages. This data can be archived to a CD upon demand at the end of the procedure.
More Information

Not Found

No
The description focuses on computer-assisted navigation, tracking, and controlled burring based on predefined landmarks and surgical plans, without mentioning AI or ML algorithms for tasks like image analysis, prediction, or decision support.

No

The device is a computer-assisted surgical navigation and burring system that aids surgeons in orthopedic procedures by providing orientation and reference information and assisting in executing surgical plans. It primarily assists the surgeon in the procedure and does not directly treat a disease or condition itself.

No

The device is described as a computer-assisted orthopedic surgical navigation and surgical burring system that assists in planning and executing surgical procedures. While it collects data for the surgeon to determine implant fit, its primary function is surgical assistance, not diagnosing a medical condition.

No

The device description explicitly states it is a "computer-assisted orthopedic surgical navigation and surgical burring system" that uses a "passive infrared tracking camera," a "standard off-the-shelf surgical drill motor and bur," and a "handpiece." These are all hardware components, indicating it is not a software-only device.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is to assist the surgeon during orthopedic procedures by providing spatial boundaries and reference information to anatomical structures. This is a surgical guidance and execution system, not a device used to examine specimens derived from the human body for the purpose of providing information for diagnosis, monitoring, or compatibility testing.
  • Device Description: The description details a computer-assisted surgical navigation and burring system that interacts directly with the patient's bone during surgery. It uses tracking technology and controls a surgical bur. This is a surgical tool, not a diagnostic test performed on a sample.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples (blood, tissue, etc.), performing tests on specimens, or providing diagnostic information based on laboratory analysis.

The NavioPFS™ System falls under the category of a surgical navigation and robotic/assisted surgical system, which is distinct from an IVD.

Discussion of similarities and differences

The NavioPFS™ System uses a combination of two established technologies to prepare bone for
attachment of implant components. The NavioPFS™ uses intraoperative data collectio non-CT data generation) to create a model of the patient's femur and tibia and allows the surgeon to prepare a surgical plan. This is equivalent to the methodology used by the Navitrack system.

The NavioPFS™ uses predefined boundaries generated during the planning process to control the motion of the surgical bur and limit the amount of bone removed in order to shape the condyles and tibial plateau in preparation for placement of the surgical implant. This is similar to the methods used by the Mako TGS (RIO) system, although the Mako TGS (RIO) system uses a preoperative CT scan in addition to intraoperatively acquired data to plan the position of implant components.

Clinical testing

No human clinical tests were conducted to determine safety and effectiveness of the NavioPFS™ System.

Summary and Conclusions

In summary, based on the results of the clinical and non-clinical testing, the NavioPFS™ is as safe and effective and preforms as well as to the MAKO Surgical Robotic Arm Interactive Orthopedic System ("MAKO RIO") (K081867) and The Zimmer (ORTHOsoft) Navitrack® System - OS Unicondylar Knee Universal (K071714).
