The summary describes a computer-assisted surgical navigation platform using stereotaxic technology and real-time tracking of markers. It mentions a "NextAR registration algorithm" but provides no details suggesting AI/ML is involved in this or any other function. The focus is on navigation and visualization based on pre-operative CT data and real-time tracking.
No
This device is a surgical navigation platform that provides information and guidance during total knee replacement procedures; it does not directly treat or cure a disease but rather supports the surgeon.
No
The device is a computer-assisted surgical navigation platform used to support the surgeon during total knee replacement procedures by providing information on bone resections, ligament behavior, and instrument/implant positioning. It helps in executing the surgical plan rather than diagnosing a condition.
No
The device description explicitly lists multiple hardware components including Augmented Reality glasses, an optical tracking system, a PC based hardware platform, 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 Diagnostic devices are used to examine specimens taken from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information about a person's health.
- 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 Specimen Analysis: The device does not analyze any specimens taken from the patient's body. Its function is entirely focused on guiding the surgical procedure based on imaging data and real-time tracking.
Therefore, the NextAR™ TKA Platform falls under the category of a surgical navigation system or computer-assisted surgery device, not an In Vitro Diagnostic device.
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 behaviour, instruments and implants positioning.
The NextAR™ TKA Platform is intended to be used in combination with NextAR" stereotaxic instruments and general surgical instruments to implant the GMK® Sphere Total knee system 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. The use of MyKnee® NextAR™ cutting guides are applicable only for the "PSI-based" approach. MyKnee" NextAR" TKA cutting guides are for single use only.
The NextAR" 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 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 (PSI) - now an option; Reusable surgical instruments for total knee replacement procedures. The system operates on the common principle of stereotaxic technology in which markers are mounted on the bones and an infrared camera is used to monitor the spatial location of the markers. 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 PSI based and PSI free, aid the surgeon in executing the surgical plan by visualizing all of the information in real time via a monitor. The approach currently cleared via K193559, is to utilize the NextAR™ TKA Platform - PSI for the placement of the implants by cutting the bones using the MyKnee® NextAR™ Cutting Blocks. The subject of this submission is to add an optional approach for the surgeon to utilize the NextAR™ TKA Platform PSI free for the placement of the implants by cutting the bones using navigated, reusable surgical instrumentation (provided non-sterile). The registration of the CT scan on the patient's anatomy is performed by executing the NextAR registration algorithm. The same reusable surgical instrumentation (provided non-sterile) that is guided by the tracking sensors can be used also 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. With this submission we are presenting the NextAR™ TKA Platform extension (PSI free) intended to be used in combination with NextAR™ stereotaxic instruments and general surgical instruments to implant the GMK® Sphere Total knee system and perform ligament balancing. The surgeon can choose the desired approach, PSI-based (clearance - K193559) or PSI-free under submission.

VI. Comparison of Technological Characteristics
The NextAR™ TKA Platform PSI free and the predicate NextAR™ TKA Platform PSI based share the following characteristics:
- principle of operation;
- user interface;
- power source;
- surgical workflow:
- main system components; except MyKnee NextAR Cutting Blocks;
- use of surgical instruments for navigation;
- orientation and positioning of bone resections; and
- device accuracy.
- use of active optical tracking system
- computer hardware;
- pre-operative patient anatomy data acquisition. ●
6
A Platform PSI free and the predicate NextAR™ TKA Platform PSI based are
- registration of sensor position through dedicated algorithm, intra-operatively.
Discussion
There are minor differences between the subject and predicate devices; these differences are of sensors with respec d algorithm. They do not raise different questions of safety or effectiveness when compared to the predicate device. Both navigation systems utilize stereotaxic technologies within
the same surgical workflow. Minor differences are addressed by performing ca rational.
