The document describes a computer-assisted surgical navigation system based on stereotaxic technology and optical tracking. It mentions real-time visualization and guidance based on pre-operative CT data and tracking sensors. There is no mention of AI, ML, or related concepts in the description of the device's functionality or the performance studies conducted. The system appears to rely on established navigation principles rather than AI/ML algorithms for its core operation.
No
The device is a computer-assisted surgical navigation platform intended to support the surgeon during total knee replacement procedures by providing information and guiding instrument/implant positioning, not to directly treat a disease or condition itself.
No
The device is a computer-assisted surgical navigation platform used to support the surgeon during total knee replacement procedures by providing real-time information and aiding in the execution of the surgical plan. It does not provide a diagnosis of a patient's condition.
No
The device description explicitly lists multiple hardware components including Augmented Reality glasses, an optical tracking system, a PC based hardware platform, MyKnee NextAR Cutting Blocks, and reusable surgical instruments.
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.
- Device Function: The NextAR™ TKA Platform is a computer-assisted surgical navigation system used during total knee replacement surgery. It provides real-time information to the surgeon about bone resections, ligament behavior, and instrument/implant positioning. It uses pre-operative CT data and tracks instruments and bones during the procedure.
- Lack of Biological Sample Analysis: The device does not analyze any biological samples from the patient. Its function is entirely focused on guiding the surgical procedure based on imaging data and real-time tracking.
The device falls under the category of surgical navigation systems and patient-specific surgical guides, which are considered medical devices but not IVDs.
N/A
Intended Use / Indications for Use
The NextAR™ TKA Platform is intended to be used to support the surgeon during total knee replacement procedures by providing information on bone resections, ligaments behavior, instrument and implant positioning.
The NextAR™ TKA Platform is intended to be used in combination with NextAR™ stereotaxic instruments, the MyKnee® NextAR™ cutting guides, and general surgical instruments to implant the GMK Sphere Total knee system and perform ligament balancing. As an optional display, the smart glasses can be used auxiliary to the NextAR Platform to view the same 2D stereotaxic information as presented by the NextAR Platform.
The smart glasses should not be relied upon solely and should always be used in conjunction with the primary computer display.
The MyKnee® NextAR cutting guides include a camera/target holder and a PSI MyKnee® cutting guide both for tibia and femur. The MyKnee® cutting guides must be used as anatomical cutting blocks specific for a single patient anatomy, to assist in the positioning of total knee replacement components intraoperatively and in guiding the marking of bone before cutting. MyKnee® NextAR TKA cutting guides are for single use only.
The NextARTM stereotaxic instruments are intended to be used to support the surgeon during specific orthopedic surgical procedures by providing information on bone resections, ligaments behavior, instrument and implant positioning. The NextAR™ stereotaxic instruments, when registered with the myKnee NextAR TKA cutting guides, provide reference to a patient's rigid anatomical structures, such as the femur and tibia, that can be identified relative to pre-operative CT based planning.

Device Description
The NextAR™ TKA Platform is a CT based computer-assisted surgical navigation platform used in total knee replacement surgery and includes the following components:
- navigation software which displays information to the surgeon in real-time;
- Augmented Reality glasses;
- optical tracking system; ●
- PC based hardware platform; ●
- MyKnee NextAR Cutting Blocks; and ●
- reusable surgical instruments for total knee replacement procedures. ●
The system operates on the common principle of stereotaxic technology in which passive markers are mounted on the bones and an infrared camera is used to monitor the spatial location of the markers to avoid intraoperative registration of bony landmarks. Tracking sensors attached to the bones enable the surgeon to view the position and orientation of bones and instrumentation relative to preoperative data in real-time while performing the surgical procedure. The tracking sensors are provided sterile.
The NextAR™ TKA Platform aids the surgeon in executing the surgical plan by visualizing all the information in real time in a screen monitor. The placement of the implants is performed by cutting the bones using MyKnee® NextAR™ Cutting Blocks while reusable surgical instrumentation (provided non-sterile) guided by the tracking sensors can be used for recut. Although the position of the implants can be validated to assess the correct execution of the planning, the surgeon can change the surgical plan intraoperatively by analyzing the 3D models of the patient, the CT scan, and the 3D geometry of the implants.
The MyKnee® NextAR™ Cutting Blocks, manufactured from medical grade nylon, are single use patient-specific blocks which are designed from patient MRI or CT images. The blocks are designed to be used in standard medial or lateral parapatellar surgical approaches with each set comprised of a femoral block, a tibial block, and two bone models of the patient's femur and tibia (optional). The femoral cutting blocks are provided in right and left configurations in sizes 1 to 7 and 1+ to 6+ and the tibial cutting blocks are provided in right and left configurations in sizes 1 to 6. The blocks are provided sterile via gamma irradiation or non-sterile.

§ 888.3030 Single/multiple component metallic bone fixation appliances and accessories.
(a)
Identification. Single/multiple component metallic bone fixation appliances and accessories are devices intended to be implanted consisting of one or more metallic components and their metallic fasteners. The devices contain a plate, a nail/plate combination, or a blade/plate combination that are made of alloys, such as cobalt-chromium-molybdenum, stainless steel, and titanium, that are intended to be held in position with fasteners, such as screws and nails, or bolts, nuts, and washers. These devices are used for fixation of fractures of the proximal or distal end of long bones, such as intracapsular, intertrochanteric, intercervical, supracondylar, or condylar fractures of the femur; for fusion of a joint; or for surgical procedures that involve cutting a bone. The devices may be implanted or attached through the skin so that a pulling force (traction) may be applied to the skeletal system.(b)
