Intended Use

Indications for use:

CORI is indicated for use in unicondylar knee replacement (UKR) surgical knee procedures, in which the use of stereotactic surgery may be appropriate, and where reference to rigid anatomical bony structures can be determined.

CORI is indicated for use with cemented implants only.

Device Description

CORI is a computer-assisted orthopedic surgical navigation and surgical burring system. CORI 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, CORI aids the surgeon in establishing a bone surface model for the target surgery and planning the surgical implant location.

CORI software controls the cutting engagement of the surgical bur based on its proximity to the planned target surface. The cutting control is achieved with two modes:

  • . 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 robotic system retracts the bur inside the guard, disabling cutting.
  • . Speed control regulates the signal going to the drill motor controller itself and limits the speed of the drill if the target surface is approached.

Alternatively, the surgeon can disable both controls and operate the robotic drill as a standard navigated surgical drill.

AI/ML Overview

The provided text is a 510(k) Summary for the "REAL INTELLIGENCE CORI (CORI)" device. It details the device's intended use, indications for use, technological characteristics, and comparison to a predicate device (NAVIO Surgical System).

However, the document does not contain the specific information required to answer the prompt regarding acceptance criteria and the study proving the device meets these criteria. The text mentions "Design verification and validation testing was performed to demonstrate that CORI meets all design requirements" and "Comprehensive performance testing demonstrated that the system meets required design inputs," but it does not provide details of:

  • A table of specific acceptance criteria values (e.g., accuracy thresholds, precision targets).
  • Reported device performance values for these criteria.
  • Sample sizes used for the test set.
  • Data provenance (country, retrospective/prospective).
  • Number/qualifications of experts for ground truth.
  • Adjudication method.
  • MRMC comparative effectiveness study details (effect size, human improvement).
  • Standalone performance details.
  • Type of ground truth used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes).
  • Training set sample size and ground truth establishment for training set.

The document primarily focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to a predicate device through shared intended use, indications, and technological characteristics, along with various general performance tests (biocompatibility, EMC, software verification, usability). It states, "No human clinical testing was required to determine the safety and effectiveness of CORI."

The closest the document comes to specific performance data is: "The comparative results of the cut-to-plan accuracy indicate that CORI implant placement accuracy data is acceptable and equivalent to the UKR implant placement accuracy data for the NAVIO system." However, it does not provide the numerical accuracy data itself or the acceptance criteria for "acceptable."

Therefore, based solely on the provided text, I cannot fulfill the request for detailed information about acceptance criteria and the study proving the device meets them. The document indicates that such testing was done ("Design verification and validation testing was performed to demonstrate that CORI meets all design requirements"), but it does not disclose the specific criteria or the quantitative results.

Discussion of Similarities and Differences

CORI is substantially equivalent to the predicate device, the NAVIO System (K191223). The intended use and the established technologies used to prepare bone for the attachment of implant components, including implant accuracy, is the same as the predicate device. The CORI UKR software application features a workflow that is nearly identical to the predicate device, cleared via K191223.

Non-Clinical Testing (Bench)

Design verification and validation testing was performed to demonstrate that CORI meets all design requirements and is as safe and effective as its predicate device.

Comprehensive performance testing demonstrated that the system meets required design inputs. Performance data consisted of physical performance test for all system components and system accuracy testing. Additionally, the following test data was provided:

  • . Biocompatibility testing demonstrating that the system satisfies the requirements of BS EN ISO 10993-1 Biological Evaluation of Medical Devices -Part 1: Evaluation and Testing within a risk management process.
  • . Safety and Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) testing demonstrating that the device complies with IEC 60601-1 Medical Electric Equipment – Part 1: General Requirements for Basic Safety and Essential Performance and IEC 60601-1-2 Medical Electrical Equipment - Part 1-2: General Requirements For Basic Safety And Essential Performance - Collateral Standard: Electromagnetic Disturbances -Requirements and Tests.
  • Software verification testing, including software integration and workflow testing, was completed. Software was developed in accordance with IEC 62304 Medical device software - Software life cycle processes, and this submission contains documentation per the requirements of FDA's Guidance for the Content of Premarket Submissions for Software Contained in Medical Devices.
  • Usability Engineering Validation Testing demonstrating that representative ● users were able to safely and effectively use CORI in a simulated use environment.

No human clinical testing was required to determine the safety and effectiveness of CORI.

Conclusions

The subject device, CORI, described in this submission, has the same intended use and the same technological characteristics as the predicate device, the NAVIO system (K191223). The primary difference between the two systems is that CORI is a nextgeneration system designed to improve overall system usability and ergonomics, offer increased system performance, and reduce the dependency on outside vendor components. The differences in the system hardware and accessories do not raise any new questions of safety or effectiveness.

The key determining factor in establishing substantial equivalence is whether CORI hardware and accessories can accurately accomplish the desired bone cutting in accordance with the surgical plan. The comparative results of the cut-to-plan accuracy indicate that CORI implant placement accuracy data is acceptable and equivalent to the UKR implant placement accuracy data for the NAVIO system. Usability engineering test results demonstrate that representative users are able to use the subject device safely and effectively in a simulated use environment. The information presented in this 510(k) premarket notification demonstrates that the redesigned system is substantially equivalent to the NAVIO system (K191223) and that CORI is as safe and effective as the predicate.
