The Neocis Guidance System (NGS) is a computerized navigational system intended to provide assistance in both the planning (pre-operative) and the surgical (intra-operative) phases of dental implantation surgery. The system provides software to preoperatively plan dental implantation procedures and provides navigational guidance of the surgical instruments.
The Neocis Guidance System (NGS) is a stereotaxic medical device that guides surgeons during dental implant surgery. The system allows the user to plan the surgery virtually in software using a CT scan of the patient, and the plan is used by a guidance system to provide physical, visual, and audible feedback to the surgeon during the implant site preparation. The implant process occurs in two phases: planning and surgical. Physical guidance is provided via the Guidance Arm. Visual guidance is provided by 3D graphics and 2D cross sections. The patient tracking portion is comprised of the Patient Splint and the Patient Tracker. The Patient Splint is attached to the contralateral side of the patient's mouth and has a fiducial array. The Patient Tracker is a mechanical feedback system connected to the Patient Splint. Calibration and measurement steps are required using the Calibration Drill Bit and Depth Gauge. The NGS is a supporting device and does not replace the surgeon's judgment. The subject device is the same as the predicate device (K173402) except for a change to the dental materials used to affix the splint.
This document describes the Neocis Guidance System (NGS) and its equivalence to a previously cleared predicate device (K173402), specifically focusing on the modification of dental materials used to affix the chairside patient splint.
1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance
The acceptance criteria for system accuracy (lateral, depth, and angular) and the reported performance for the Neocis Guidance System (NGS) are provided below. These criteria and performance values were established for the predicate device (K173402) and are stated to be unchanged for the subject device.
| Acceptance Criterion | Reported Device Performance |

§ 872.4120 Bone cutting instrument and accessories.
(a)
Identification. A bone cutting instrument and accessories is a metal device intended for use in reconstructive oral surgery to drill or cut into the upper or lower jaw and may be used to prepare bone to insert a wire, pin, or screw. The device includes the manual bone drill and wire driver, powered bone drill, rotary bone cutting handpiece, and AC-powered bone saw.(b)
