The description focuses on established navigation technologies, passive infrared tracking, and software-controlled bur positioning based on predefined landmarks and implant configurations. There is no mention of AI or ML algorithms for tasks like image analysis, predictive modeling, or adaptive control.
No.
The Navio system is a surgical navigation and burring system that assists surgeons in orthopedic procedures, specifically for spatial guidance and controlled burring, but it is not directly therapeutic; it is a surgical tool used to achieve a therapeutic outcome.
No
The Navio system is a surgical navigation and burring system used to assist surgeons in executing orthopedic procedures, specifically knee replacements. It provides guidance and control during surgery but does not diagnose medical conditions.
No
The device description explicitly states the system includes a passive infrared tracking camera, a computer system, a handpiece with a surgical bur, and adapts a standard surgical drill motor. These are all hardware components, making it a hardware and software system, not software-only.
Based on the provided information, the Navio system is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic) device.
Here's why:
- IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostic devices are used to examine specimens (like blood, urine, or tissue) taken from the human body to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
- Navio System Function: The Navio system is a computer-assisted surgical navigation and burring system used during orthopedic procedures. It assists the surgeon in planning and executing bone cuts based on anatomical structures and implant configurations. It does not analyze biological specimens.
The Navio system is a surgical device that aids in the execution of a surgical procedure, not a diagnostic tool that analyzes samples outside the body.
N/A
Intended Use / Indications for Use
The Navio 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 Navio 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 and patellofemoral arthroplasty.

Device Description
The Navio 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 target surgery and to plan the surgical implant location based on predefined bone landmarks and known configuration of the surgical implant. The Navio system then aids the surgeon in executing the surgical plan by using a standard off-the-shelf surgical drill motor and bur (eMax 2 Plus System -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 handpiece. In the Navio system the software controls the position of the tip 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 surfaces of the condyle as well as placing post holes.
The Navio 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 time stamp 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.

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 surfaces of the condyle as well as placing post holes.
The Navio 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 time stamp 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.
The following diagram shows the primary workflow steps in each application, UKR and PFA. Though the two procedures are very similar, they are mutually independent and cannot be planned or completed in parallel.
Note: The workflow has not changed from the predicate, Navio per K143668.

The flowchart on the left describes the procedure for Navio - UKR for Unicondylar Knee Replacement, while the flowchart on the right describes the procedure for Navio - PFA for Patellofemoral Arthroplasty. Both flowcharts start with "Hardware Connection" and end with "Bone Removal", but they have different steps in between. The UKR procedure has more steps than the PFA procedure, including "Malleoli Point Collection", "Femur Neutral Postion", "Femur Kinematic Axis", "Stressed ROM Collection", "Tibia Landmarks Collection", "Tibia Free Collection", "Gap Planning", "Adjust Component ML Position", and "Evaluate Knee ROM".

Nonclinical Testing
Design verification tests were performed on the Blue Belt Technologies Navio system to support substantial equivalence of the subject device.
Testing to support the Flat Marker design included bench verification testing, biocompatibility testing, shelf-life testing, labeling validation, and a clinical simulation (usability validation testing). Simulated-use testing included testing in simulated knees (sawbones) and cadaver lab testing. Users included surgeons and technical support personnel who were able to successfully use the Navio system.
Clinical Testing
No human clinical tests were conducted to determine safety and effectiveness of the Navio system.
Discussion of Similarities and Differences
The Navio system uses established technologies to prepare bone for attachment of implant components. Navio uses intraoperative data collection (image-free or non-CT data generation) to create a model of the patient's femur and tibia and allow the surgeon to prepare a surgical plan. The Navio 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, tibial plateau, or patellofemoral joint in preparation for placement of the surgical implant.
The Navio 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, tibial plateau, and/or the patellofemoral joint in preparation for placement of the surgical implant.
The primary difference between the subject device described in this submission and the Navio system (K143668) is the change from the spherical infrared, reflective tracking markers to a new disk-shaped, infrared, reflective tracking marker. The new diskshaped infrared, reflective tracking marker is substantially equivalent to the currently used spherical reflecting tracking markers.
Summary and Conclusions
The Navio system described in this submittal has the same intended use and the same fundamental scientific technology as the Navio system (K143668). Non-clinical testing was completed to verify that the use of the Navio system with the new, disc-shaped infrared, reflective tracking markers does not raise any new issues of safety or effectiveness. The information presented in this 510(k) notification demonstrates that the Navio system, with updated tracking markers, is as safe and effective as Navio (K143668).
