The nView s1 is intended as an imaging system to provide both 2D and 3D imaging of adult and pediations over 6 years of age. The device is intended to provide fluoroscopic and tomographic imaging of patients during orthopedic surgical procedures where the clinician benefits from 3D visualization of complex anatomical structures, such as high contrast objects, bones, joints, cervical, thoracic, and lumbar regions of the spine, and joint fractures of the upper and lower extremities.
The nView s1 is indicated to image human anatomy up to 30 cm thickness. The nView s1 is not indicated for mammographic or lung nodule applications.
The nView s1 with navigation option is intended as a navigation system to localize anatomical structures in spine fusion procedures for tasks such as identifying vertebrae, and identifying entry points in the thoracic and lumbar spine regions; and for the task of pilot hole verification for pedicle screw placement of 4.5 mm screws in the thoracic and lumbar spine regions. The navigation option is indicated for posterior approach open spinal procedures in pediations over 6 years of age in which the use of stereotactic surgery may be appropriate, and where reference to a rigid spinous process can be identified relative to nView s1 images of the anatomy.
The nView s1 with nav option mobile fluoroscopic system is a cone beam computed fluoroscopic and tomographic X-ray system consisting of two mobile C-arm and a monitor cart. The mobile C-arm is comprised of a fixed anode X-ray tube with a high voltage generator, X-ray controls, markers for image registration during navigation, and a mechanical "C" shaped structure which supports the X-ray chain, the image receptor flat panel detector, and navigation tracking camera is rigidly attached to the operating table and connects to the C-arm via a cable.
The monitor cart is a mobile platform containing a flat panel display and a GPU computer that connects to the mobile C-arm by ethernet cable.
Navigation instrumentation consists of a navigated surgical probe and a patient reference.
The device contains software. The nav option tracks single-use sterile navigation instrumentation. It does not contain biologics, drugs, coatings, or additives.
The nView s1 with nav option employs X-rays as its imaging technology for visualizing human anatomy in both 2D and 3D. The X-ray tube powered by a generator produces X-rays, which image the patient under control of the user, at the direction of a physician. The images from the system assist the physicians in visualizing the patient's anatomy during surgical procedures. The device poth real-time image capture and post capture visualization suitable for use immediately before, during, or after surgery. The optional navigation feature uses optical camera technology to display a surgeon's probe on the image in real time during the surgery.
The device performs both 2D and 3D medical imaging generated by means of an iterative algorithm. The system uses of a scan captured with relation to a predefined scan reference frame to compute the three-dimensional representation of the imaged object. The images are displayed on the screen of the monitor cart. It is possible to display projection views as well as tomographic views. The navigation option utilizes optical camera technology to track the C-arm, the instruments, and the patient.
The provided text describes the nView s1 with nav option, a mobile fluoroscopic C-Arm imaging system with navigation capabilities. The 510(k) summary focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to a previously cleared predicate device (nView s1 with nav option, K211064) and a reference device (Medtronic Navigation Inc - StealthStation™ S8 system, K162309).
Here's an analysis of the acceptance criteria and the study proving the device meets them, based solely on the provided text:
1. A table of acceptance criteria and the reported device performance
The document primarily focuses on demonstrating equivalence rather than explicitly listing acceptance criteria with detailed success/failure values for all performance characteristics. However, it does state specific performance criteria for Registration Accuracy and Clinical Accuracy.
| Acceptance Criteria (Stated Performance Goals) | Reported Device Performance (Subject Device) |
|---|---|
| Registration Accuracy | • 3D positional accuracy: < 2.0 mm positional error • Trajectory angle accuracy: < 2.0 degrees immediately after automatic or paired point registration. (Identical to predicate device) |
| Clinical Accuracy | • 3D positional accuracy: ≤ 3.0 mm positional error • Trajectory angle accuracy: ≤ 3.0 degrees with patient reference for spine applications. (Equivalent to predicate device. The document notes: "The subject has the same accuracy numbers as the predicate. The subject and predicate have narrower claims of spine applications only. The accuracy numbers are adjusted from the reference device based on the reduced clinical applications.") |
| Software Level of Concern | "Moderate Level of Concern" (Implies adherence to specific software documentation guidelines) |
| Safety and Effectiveness | "The nView s1 with nav option has demonstrated 3D positional accuracy with a positional error < 2.0 mm and trajectory angle accuracy error < 2.0 degrees immediately after automatic or paired point registration. This performance was determined using a cadaveric specimen and utilizing a subset of system components and features that represent the worst-case combinations of all potential system components." "Testing for verification and validation for the device was found acceptable to support the claims of substantial equivalence." "No new questions of safety and effectiveness are raised in the subject device." |
2. Sample size used for the test set and the data provenance (e.g., country of origin of the data, retrospective or prospective)
The document explicitly mentions a cadaveric study for demonstrating registration accuracy:
- Sample Size: Not specified for the cadaveric study.
- Data Provenance: "cadaveric specimen" - implies a laboratory/research setting. Country of origin not specified. No indication of retrospective or prospective.
For other aspects like "Usability" or "Risk Analysis," typical testing would involve subjects/data, but no specific sample sizes or provenance information are provided in this summary.
3. Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts (e.g., radiologist with 10 years of experience)
The document does not provide any information regarding the number or qualifications of experts used to establish ground truth for the test set.
4. Adjudication method (e.g., 2+1, 3+1, none) for the test set
The document does not provide any information regarding an adjudication method for establishing ground truth for the test set.
5. If a multi-reader multi-case (MRMC) comparative effectiveness study was done, If so, what was the effect size of how much human readers improve with AI vs without AI assistance
The document does not describe a multi-reader multi-case (MRMC) comparative effectiveness study, nor does it mention any human reader improvement with AI assistance. The device is a "Mobile Fluoroscopic C-Arm" with a "nav option" which suggests image-guided surgery, not a diagnostic AI interpretation tool. Therefore, an MRMC study in the context of diagnostic interpretation is not applicable here.
6. If a standalone (i.e., algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done
The document states: "The nView s1 with nav option has demonstrated 3D positional accuracy with a positional error < 2.0 mm and trajectory angle accuracy error < 2.0 degrees immediately after automatic or paired point registration." This accuracy measurement, especially in a cadaveric study, would typically be a standalone (algorithm only) performance evaluation of the navigation system's ability to localize points in space and align image to physical coordinates, without direct human cognitive interpretation or decision-making as the primary output being measured.
7. The type of ground truth used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc.)
For the registration and clinical accuracy studies, the ground truth would likely be established through:
- Physical measurements/Metrology: In the cadaveric study for registration accuracy, physical measurements (e.g., using a high-precision measurement system) would be the ground truth against which the device's calculated positional and angular errors are compared. The reference to "paired point registration" and "divots in the bone" further supports a physically established ground truth.
- The document mentions "identifiable anatomical landmark or a fiducial on the skin" for the reference device, suggesting physical landmarks are used for ground truth in such navigation systems.
The document does not mention expert consensus, pathology, or outcomes data as ground truth.
8. The sample size for the training set
The document does not provide any information regarding the sample size of a training set. This submission is for a 510(k) of an updated version of a previously cleared device, not a de novo AI device requiring extensive training data disclosure in this summary. The "iterative algorithm" for 3D reconstruction is mentioned, but specific training data for this algorithm (if it utilized machine learning in the conventional sense) is not detailed.
9. How the ground truth for the training set was established
Since no training set information is provided, there is no information on how ground truth for any training set was established.

13.2 Discussion of similarities and differences vs predicate/reference
13.2.1 Intended Use
The indications for use for the subject and predicate are essentially the same in the subject device and the cleared nView medical nView s1 with nav option (K211064). Both devices are indicated for tasks in spine fusion procedures. The phrasing has been changed for formatting only as discussed in a pre-submission. Both devices have the same patient population, the same reference to a rigid spinous process, and the same use of the nView s1 image.
13.2.2 Technological Characteristics
The technological characteristics governing how the device produces images of human anatomy are identical in the subject device and the predicate nView medical nView s1 with nav option (K211064) system. The technological characteristics governing how the device navigates a surgical tool on images of human anatomy are equivalent in the subject device and the predical nView s1 with nav option (K211064) system. Both systems use an optical tracker and reflective markers to dynamically display a tool on an image. Both systems use a patient reference to track patient motion. Both systems use an automatic registration when the patient reference is attached before the image is taken.
{9}------------------------------------------------
The characteristics of the subject device paired point registration and the reference device (Medtronic Navigation Inc - StealthStation™ S8 system (K162309) PointMerge registration are technologically equivalent. This registration methodology allows for registration of images taken without a patient reference to register the image to the navigation coordinate system. The method is equivalent in that it uses points found in the image and the same points touched physically on the anatomy to register the image and navigation coordinate frames. The subject device requires the user to set a minimum of 10 points on the anatomy. The reference device allows the user to set a maximum of 4 points on the anatomy. More points will give equivalent or better registration accuracy. Both systems allow the position of the selected point to be refined in the viewer. Both systems register the two sets of points (image based and navigation based) using a point set registration method to find the spatial transformation (e.g.,rotation and translation) that aligns the two sets of points. The subject device uses divots in the bone of the spints. The reference device recommends using "an identifiable anatomical landmark or a fiducial on the skin". A well defined divot made with a specified tool of a fixed diameter and depth such as in the subject device should provide better registration accuracy than the user selecting an identifiable landmark without a defined size. The subject device has the points on the anatomy first, and then the navigation system places the crosshair of the point in the viewer for the user to manually refine. The reference device has the user find points in the image first, and them on the anatomy in order. The order in which the point sets are collected does not impact the registration accuracy. Both systems provide an accuracy verification method after completing the registration by touching one or more of the set points and confirming the crosshairs are centered on the set point in the image. The accuracy of the subject device is identical to the predicate device both with the cleared automatic registration mode, and with the proposed paired point registration mode.
Summary of non-clinical test data
The demonstration of substantial equivalence is based on a comparison of features to the predicate devices and on an assessment of non-clinical performance data.
