Intended Use
The TCAT™/TPLAN™ 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 intraoperative 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 TCAT™/TPLAN™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 TCAT™ TPLAN™ Surgical System is a three-dimensional, graphical, preoperative planner and implementation tool for treatment of patients who require a total hip arthroplasty (THA) procedure. This device is intended as an alternative to manual template planning, broaching, and reaming techniques for the preparation of bone for patients requiring a THA procedure. The system consists of the TPLAN™ Preoperative Planning Workstation and TCAT™ , a robotic system composed of an electromechanical arm, arm base including control electronics and computer, display monitor, and miscellaneous accessories such as cutters, drapes, irrigation sets, probes, and markers. TPLAN™ and TCAT™ when used according to the instructions for use, make precision bone preparation possible before and during THA surgical procedures.
More Information

No
The summary describes a robotic surgical system for hip arthroplasty that uses diagnostic images for planning and execution. It mentions software for planning and a robotic arm for implementation. There is no mention of AI, ML, deep learning, or any related terms in the intended use, device description, or performance studies. The focus is on precise implementation of a pre-surgical plan, which is characteristic of traditional robotic systems, not necessarily AI/ML-driven ones.

Yes
The device is described as a surgical system, including a robotic surgical tool used for bone preparation in total hip arthroplasty, indicating it is directly involved in treatment.

No

Explanation: The device is described as a surgical system for presurgical planning and intraoperative procedures, explicitly stating it "uses diagnostic images" but does not perform the diagnostic function itself. It's an implementation tool, not a diagnostic one.

No

The device description explicitly states the system consists of both the TPLAN™ Preoperative Planning Workstation (software) and TCAT™, a robotic system composed of an electromechanical arm, arm base including control electronics and computer, display monitor, and miscellaneous accessories. This indicates it is a hardware and software system, not software-only.

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

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are devices used to examine specimens taken from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
  • Device Function: The TCAT™/TPLAN™ Surgical System is a surgical planning and implementation tool. It uses diagnostic images (like CT scans) of the patient's anatomy in situ to plan and execute a surgical procedure (total hip arthroplasty). It does not analyze biological specimens.
  • Intended Use: The intended use is for presurgical planning and intraoperative guidance during a surgical procedure, not for analyzing samples outside the body.

Therefore, the TCAT™/TPLAN™ Surgical System falls under the category of a surgical device or system, not an In Vitro Diagnostic.
