No
The summary describes a computerized navigation system using mechanical feedback and real-time visualization based on a pre-operative plan and patient tracking. There is no mention of AI or ML algorithms being used for planning, guidance, or any other function. The system relies on pre-defined parameters and physical constraints.
No.
The device is a navigational guidance system for surgery, not a device that directly treats or cures a condition. It assists the surgeon in planning and performing dental implantation, but the therapeutic effect comes from the surgical procedure itself, not the device.
No
Explanation: The device is described as a computerized navigational system intended to provide assistance in both the planning (pre-operative) and the surgical (intra-operative) phases of dental implantation surgery. It guides surgical instruments and does not explicitly state it provides a diagnosis for disease or condition. While it uses CT scans for planning, its primary function is guidance and not diagnosis.
No
The device description explicitly mentions and describes several hardware components, including a Guidance Arm, Patient Splint, Patient Tracker, Calibration Drill Bit, and Depth Gauge. The performance testing also includes evaluations of hardware aspects like mechanical feedback systems, kinematic mounts, and electrical safety.
Based on the provided information, the Neocis Guidance System (NGS) is not an In Vitro Diagnostic (IVD) device.
Here's why:
- IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostic devices are used to examine specimens derived from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
- NGS Function: The NGS is a surgical guidance system. It uses a CT scan of the patient's anatomy to assist the surgeon in planning and performing dental implant surgery. It provides physical, visual, and audible feedback during the procedure.
- No Specimen Analysis: The NGS does not analyze any biological specimens from the patient. Its function is entirely focused on guiding the surgical instruments based on anatomical imaging and pre-operative planning.
Therefore, the Neocis Guidance System falls under the category of a surgical guidance or navigation system, not an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

Device Description
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 quidance system to provide physical, visual, and audible feedback to the surgeon during the implant site preparation.
The implant process occurs in two phases. First, the dental surgeon plans the surgical procedure with the planning software. A virtual implant is placed at the desired location in the CT scan, allowing the dental surgeon to avoid interfering with critical anatomical structures during implant surgery. Second, when the implant plan is optimally positioned, the NGS provides accurate quidance of the dental surgical instruments according to the pre-operative plan.
Physical quidance is provided via the Guidance Arm. The Guidance Arm grips a standard dental drill from the back end, allowing the surgeon to grip the drill as normal. The Guidance Arm does not move unless the surgeon applies a manual force to the drill. The Guidance Arm will constrain the surgeon to drill according to the prescribed surgical plan, preventing deviation. The surgeon is constantly in control of the drilling.
Visual guidance is provided by 3D graphics and 2D cross sections that indicate the position and orientation of the drill in relation to the pre-operative plan and scan. The visual feedback is updated in real-time so any relative motion between the dental handpiece and the patient properly update the visualization.
The patient tracking portion of the NGS is comprised of the Patient Splint and the Patient Tracker. The Patient Splint is attached to the contralateral side of the patient's mouth. The Patient Splint is placed on the patient prior to the CT scan. A fiducial array with fiducial markers is placed on the Patient Splint prior to the CT scan so the virtual plan can be related to the physical space of the system. The Patient Tracker is a mechanical feedback system that is connected to the Patient Splint on the patient, which relays information to the control software in order to track patient movement. If patient movement occurs during the surgical procedure, the system will respond by altering the prescribed surgical cutting angle and position to accommodate the patient movement, which will maintain the accuracy of the drill placement.
Several steps are required for calibration and measurement during the procedure. The drill is calibrated using the Calibration Drill Bit inserted into a precise position on the Patient Tracker. During the surgery, each drill bit must be measured with the Depth Gauge to determine the proper length of the bit. These measurements complete the loop so the entire NGS is accurate to the tip of the drill.
The NGS is a supporting device, providing additional information and guidance to the decision- making process during the surgical procedure. It is not intended to replace the surgeon's judqment. The final clinical decisions are the sole responsibility of the surgeon. The surgeon can at any time during the surgical procedure modify the planned implant positions. Under no circumstances does the device relieve the surgeon of his or her ultimate clinical responsibility.
The subject device is the same as the NGS cleared under K182776 (the predicate device), except for a change to the dental drill supplier and dental drill collar design. The dental handpiece and motor have received previous 510(k) clearance under K070084 and K030163.
The splint is a key component for patient tracking for the NGS. The patient tracking portion of the NGS is comprised of the Chairside Splint and the Patient Tracker. The Chairside Splint is attached to the contralateral side of the patient's mouth. The Chairside Splint is affixed to the patient's teeth using dental materials specified in the labeling. The Chairside Splint is placed on the patient prior to the CT scan. A fiducial array with fiducial markers is placed on the Chairside Splint prior to the CT scan so the virtual plan can be related to the physical space of the system. The Patient Tracker is a mechanical feedback system that is connected to the Patient Chairside on the patient, which relays information to the control software in order to track patient movement. If patient movement occurs during the surgical procedure, the system will respond by altering the prescribed surgical cutting angle and position to accommodate the patient movement, which will maintain the accuracy of the drill placement.
