The description focuses on established navigation and tracking technologies, software control based on proximity, and standard surgical tools, with no mention of AI, ML, or related concepts.
No
The device is a surgical navigation and burring system intended to assist surgeons during orthopedic procedures by providing orientation and reference and by aiding in the execution of the surgical plan with controlled cutting. It does not directly treat or cure a disease or condition; rather, it facilitates the surgical procedure.
No
Explanation: The NAVIO system is a computer-assisted orthopedic surgical navigation and surgical burring system intended to assist the surgeon during orthopedic procedures by providing spatial boundaries and aiding in executing surgical plans, not to diagnose conditions.
No
The device description explicitly states that the NAVIO system is a "computer-assisted orthopedic surgical navigation and surgical burring system" that uses a "passive infrared tracking camera" and adapts a "standard off-the-shelf surgical drill motor and bur." This indicates the system includes significant hardware components beyond just software.
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 NAVIO system is for assisting surgeons during orthopedic procedures by providing spatial boundaries and reference information to anatomical structures. This is a surgical navigation and execution tool, not a device used to examine specimens derived from the human body to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or compatibility testing.
- Device Description: The description details a computer-assisted surgical system that uses navigation and a surgical bur to aid in bone preparation. This is a surgical instrument, not a diagnostic test.
- No mention of biological samples: There is no mention of the device interacting with or analyzing any biological samples (blood, tissue, etc.).
Therefore, the NAVIO system falls under the category of a surgical device, not an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

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 (UKR), patellofemoral arthroplasty (PFA), and total knee arthroplasty (TKA).
The NAVIO system is indicated for use with cemented implants only.

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 in planning the surgical implant location, based on intraoperatively defined bone landmarks and known geometry 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 (Anspach eMax2 Plus System, cleared via K080802), which has been adapted using a tracking system.
The surgical bur is inserted into a handpiece, which allows the bur to move within the handpiece. The NAVIO system software controls the cutting engagement of the surgical bur based on its proximity to the planned target surface. The cutting control is achieved in two ways:
- Exposure control adjusts the bur's exposure with respect to a guard. If the surgeon encroaches on a portion of bone that is not to be cut, the NAVIO system retracts the bur inside the guard, disabling cutting.
- Speed control regulates the signal going to the drill motor controller itself and will limit the speed of the drill if the target surface is approached. This mode of operation is useful in shaping surfaces of the condyle as well as placing post holes and fixation features for femoral and tibial cut guides.
Additionally, the surgeon can disable both controls and operate the NAVIO system handpiece as a standard navigated surgical drill. The surgeon must press on a footpedal to activate the surgical bur and enable cutting in all modes.

Discussion of Similarities and Differences
The NAVIO system presented in this 510(k) submission is substantially equivalent to the predicate NAVIO, K170360. The intended use, indications for use, and the general functionality of the NAVIO system are unchanged from the previously submitted device.
This submission supports the following updates to the NAVIO system:
- the NAVIO system tracking camera change, and
- . the NAVIO system Operating System upgrade.
The implant product codes supported by the subject device are consistent with the predicate device. The established technologies that are used by the NAVIO system to prepare bone for attachment of implant components or for the attachment of the TKA femur and tibia cutting guides are unchanged. The UKR, PFA, and TKA workflows have not changed from the predicate device, cleared via K170360.

Non-Clinical Testing (Bench)
Design verification and validation tests were performed on the NAVIO system to support the updates presented in this submission. Testing included software database reviews, bench testing, labeling verification, and drawing inspections.
Trained technical support personnel performed verification accuracy testing using simulated knees (sawbones) to ensure that the changes made to the tracking camera and Operating System performed as intended and did not impact the accuracy of the NAVIO system. The testing verified that the NAVIO system with the updated optical tracking camera and upgraded Operating System is as safe and effective as the predicate device.
Clinical Testing
No human clinical testing was conducted to determine safety and effectiveness of the NAVIO system.
Conclusions
The NAVIO system described in this submission has the same intended use and the same technological characteristics as the NAVIO system, most recently cleared per K170360. The differences in the updated tracking camera and Operating System do not raise any new questions of safety or effectiveness.

The key determining factor is whether NAVIO control can be applied accurately to accomplish the desired cutting in accordance with the plan. The accuracy testing performed demonstrates that the updated NAVIO system meets the same accuracy specifications required for the predicate device.
The NAVIO system presented in this 510(k) premarket notification demonstrates that the updated NAVIO system, with the updated optical tracking camera and upgraded Operating System continues to be as safe and effective as the predicate NAVIO system (K170360).
