The summary describes an image-guided surgery system that uses hardware trackers and cameras to provide real-time positional information. There is no mention of AI, ML, or any related technologies like deep learning or neural networks in the intended use, device description, or performance studies. The focus is on navigation and positional data, not on algorithmic interpretation or prediction.
No.
The device assists surgeons during orthopedic procedures by providing navigation and real-time information on anatomical structures and instrumentation, but it does not directly treat or prevent a disease or condition itself.
No
Explanation: The device is described as an image-guided surgery or navigation system intended to intraoperatively assist surgeons during orthopedic surgical procedures by providing real-time information on the positions of anatomical structures and instrumentation. Its purpose is to help in locating anatomical structures and aligning endoprostheses, as well as computing and displaying information for bone cuts, which are all part of surgical guidance, not diagnosis.
No
The device description explicitly mentions "ExactechGPS hardware trackers" and a "ExactechGPS hardware station" with a "camera component," indicating it is a system that includes hardware in addition to software.
Based on the provided information, the Exactech GPS is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic) device.
Here's why:
- IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostic devices are used to examine specimens taken from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
- Exactech GPS Function: The Exactech GPS is described as an image-guided surgery or navigation system used during orthopedic surgical procedures. Its purpose is to assist surgeons in locating anatomical structures and aligning prostheses intraoperatively. It uses hardware trackers and a camera to provide real-time information on the position of anatomical structures and instruments.
- No Specimen Analysis: There is no mention of the Exactech GPS analyzing any specimens taken from the patient's body. Its function is entirely focused on providing guidance and information during the surgical procedure itself.
Therefore, the Exactech GPS falls under the category of a surgical navigation or guidance system, not an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

Device Description
The ExactechGPS System is an image-guided surgery, or navigation, system intended to be used during orthopedic surgical procedures to intraoperatively assist surgeons during arthroplasty. The ExactechGPS System enables surgeons to acquire intraoperative data by computing and displaying information such as distances, angles, and placement of prosthetic components in order to identify and characterize bone cuts necessary to achieve surgical goals.
The ExactechGPS System works with ExactechGPS hardware trackers that communicate intraoperative data to the ExactechGPS hardware station to provide surgeons with real-time information on the positions of patient anatomical structures and instrumentation used to prepare bone during stereotaxic surgery. The camera component that communicates with trackers is compliant with EN 62471 (Photobiological safety testing).

Device Description:
The ExactechGPS System proposed in this submission is a modification of the ExactechGPS System cleared per 510(k) #K152764.
The ExactechGPS System is an image-guided surgery, or navigation, system intended to be used during orthopedic surgical procedures to intraoperatively assist surgeons during arthroplasty. The ExactechGPS System enables surgeons to acquire intraoperative data by computing and displaying information such as distances, angles, and placement of prosthetic components in order to identify and characterize bone cuts necessary to achieve surgical goals.
The ExactechGPS System works with ExactechGPS hardware trackers that communicate intraoperative data to the ExactechGPS hardware station to provide surgeons with real-time information on the positions of patient anatomical structures and instrumentation used to prepare bone during stereotaxic surgery. The camera
4
component that communicates with trackers is compliant with EN 62471 (Photobiological safety testing).
The proposed modifications do not change the ExactechGPS System general intended use, general design features, or basic fundamental scientific technology.
VI. INDICATIONS FOR USE:
The Exactech GPS is intended for use during stereotaxic surgery to aid the surgeon in locating anatomical structures and aligning the endoprostheses with the anatomical structures.
