Intended Use
The OrthoPilot® Next Generation Platform is a system for computer-aided navigation of surgical instruments. Its purpose is to position endoprosthesis in arthroplasty in the patient. It aids the surgeon in accurately positioning the cutting guides, drills and reamers for endacement surgery (such as total knee, revision knee, unicondylar knee, and total hip systems) and provides intraoperative measurement. It indicates angles and positions for implant placement.
Device Description
Aesculap's OrthoPilot® Next Generation is a computer assisted surgical navigation system that uses proprietary software to provide anatomical information to a surgeon. The hardware in the system consists of the following primary components: stereotaxic camera, computer (w/ monitors), rigid bodies (transmitters), passive markers, power supply, various tagged instruments, an ultrasound module, transport cart and stand. The computer accepts input from the transmitters on the rigid bodies either mounted to the patients bones or mobile to palpate anatomical landmarks in conjunction with a camera to monitor the spatial location of the transmitters in relation to each other and/or instruments. The computer can also accept spatial input for anatomical landmarks from an ultrasound unit. The software modules for the OrthoPilot Next Generation consist of modules for both a knee suite and a hip suite.
More Information

No
The summary describes a computer-assisted surgical navigation system that uses proprietary software and hardware to provide anatomical information and guide instrument placement. It relies on spatial tracking and measurement based on physical markers and ultrasound input. There is no mention of AI, ML, or related concepts like deep learning, training sets, or performance metrics typically associated with AI/ML algorithms. The description focuses on traditional navigation techniques.

No

The device is a computer-aided surgical navigation system, which assists the surgeon in accurately positioning instruments and provides intraoperative measurements during arthroplasty. It is not intended to treat or prevent a disease or condition itself.

No

The device is described as a computer-aided navigation system for surgical instruments that provides intraoperative measurement and indicates angles and positions for implant placement. While it provides "anatomical information," its primary purpose is to guide surgical actions rather than to diagnose medical conditions or diseases.

No

The device description explicitly lists multiple hardware components including a stereotaxic camera, computer, rigid bodies, passive markers, power supply, tagged instruments, and an ultrasound module. The software is described as proprietary software that utilizes input from these hardware components.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states that the device is for "computer-aided navigation of surgical instruments" to "position endoprosthesis in arthroplasty in the patient." This describes a surgical guidance system used during a surgical procedure on a patient.
  • Device Description: The description details hardware components like a camera, computer, rigid bodies, markers, and an ultrasound module, all used for tracking and providing spatial information in vivo (within the living patient).
  • Lack of In Vitro Activities: There is no mention of the device being used to examine specimens (like blood, tissue, or urine) outside of the body to provide information about a patient's health status, which is the core function of an IVD.

IVDs are devices used to perform tests on samples taken from the human body to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening. This device is a surgical navigation tool used to assist the surgeon during the procedure itself.

INDICATIONS FOR USE

The OrthoPilor® Next Generation Platform is a system for computer-aided navigation of surqical instruments. Its purpose is to position endoprosthesis in the patient. It aids the surgeon in accurately positioning the cutting quides, drills and reamers for endoprosthesis replacement surgery (such as total knee, revision knee, unicondylar knee, and total hip systems) and provides intraoperative measurements of bone alignment. It indicates angles and positions for implant placement.

TECHNOLOGICAL CHARACTERISTICS (Compared to the Predicate)

OrthoPilot® Next Generation navigation system was cleared under K090375. The intended use and fundamental scientific technology of the OrthoPilot® Next Generation Navigation system remain unchanged. The only difference is a design modification of the passive marker spheres and it's integration with the current software modules.

PERFORMANCE DATA

OrthoPilot® Next Generation system was developed in accordance with 'General Principles of Software Final Guidance for Industry and FDA Staff; 'Guidance for the Content of Premarket Submissions for Software Contained in Medical Devices' and Aesculap's procedures.

As a result of the risk assessment, design modification of the marker spheres and it's integration with the current software modules was verified and validated via sterilization; shelf life; navigation performance; software acceptance tests and software life cycle testing.
