Intended Use
HIP7 is intended to be an intraoperative image-guided localization system to enable minimally invasive surgery. It links a freehand probe, tracked by a passive marker sensor system, to virtual computer image space either on a patient's preoperative image data being processed by Brainlab IGS platforms, or on an individual 3D-model of the patient's bone, which is generated through acquiring multiple landmarks on the bone surface. The system is indicated for any medical condition in which the use of stereotactic surgery may be considered to be safe and effective, and where a reference to a rigid anatomical structure, such as a long bone or vertebra, can be identified relative to a CT, X-Ray, or MR-based model of the anatomy. The system aids the surgeon to accurately navigate a hip endoprosthesis to the preoperatively or intraoperatively planned position. Example orthopedic surgical procedures for the Computer Assisted Total Hip Replacement – HIP7 use case include but are not limited to: - Total Joint Replacement - Minimally invasive orthopedic surgery
Device Description
The HIP7 system is intended to enable navigation in orthopedic hip replacement surgery. It links a surgical instrument, tracked by flexible passive markers to virtual computer image space on an individual three-dimensional model of the patient's bone, which is generated through acquiring multiple landmarks on the bone surface or soft tissue. The HIP7 system uses the registered landmarks to navigate the necessary surgical tool, i.e., cup inserter, to the desired orientation. Additionally, it enables to intra-operatively measure the changes in leg length and offset. The HIP7 system provides a three-dimensional reconstruction of the relevant anatomical axes and planes of the femur and pelvis to aid the alignment of the implants and to determine leg length and offset parameters. Based on the selected procedure, the HIP7 system loads implant and instrument data that has been provided by the implant manufacturer. The implant is selected according to the available license and is then shown in the software in relation to the determined anatomical structures. A preoperative x-ray may optionally me loaded. The HIP7 system does not require CT-based imaging.

K122011 Brainlab Hip

No
The summary describes a traditional image-guided navigation system based on landmark registration and 3D reconstruction, with no mention of AI or ML terms or concepts.

No.
The device is an image-guided localization and navigation system that aids surgeons during orthopedic hip replacement surgery, rather than directly treating a medical condition.

No

The device is an image-guided localization and navigation system used during surgery, not a diagnostic device that identifies medical conditions. Its purpose is to aid the surgeon in accurately positioning medical devices and measuring anatomical parameters intraoperatively.

No

The device description explicitly mentions linking a freehand probe and a passive marker sensor system, indicating the inclusion of hardware components beyond just software.

Based on the provided text, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In vitro diagnostics are tests performed on samples taken from the human body, such as blood, urine, or tissue, to detect diseases, conditions, or infections.
  • HIP7 Function: The HIP7 system is described as an intraoperative image-guided localization system used during surgery. It uses imaging data (CT, X-Ray, MR) and anatomical landmarks to help surgeons navigate and position implants.
  • No Sample Analysis: The description does not mention the analysis of any biological samples from the patient. The system operates on imaging data and physical landmarks on the patient's body.

Therefore, the HIP7 system falls under the category of a surgical navigation or guidance system, not an in vitro diagnostic device.

Technological Characteristics and Substantial Equivalence

The HIP7 system has been verified and validated according to Brainlab's procedures for product design and development.

Summary

The changes described above do not alter intended use or the fundamental scientific technology of the device because they do not change the operating principle. The changes to the HIP7 do not present any new issues of safety and effectiveness when compared to the predicate device.

The HIP7 system described in this submission is, in our opinion, substantially equivalent to the predicate.
