No.
The Akunah Reflect Planning Software is a pre-surgical planning tool for shoulder procedures, assisting surgeons in visualization, measurement, and implant positioning. It does not directly treat or diagnose a disease but rather aids in the planning phase of a surgical procedure.
No
The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" and "Device Description" sections explicitly state that the software "should not be used for diagnostic purposes."
Yes
The device description explicitly states "Akunah REFLECT Software" and details its functions as a pre-surgical planner. The performance studies focus on software verification and validation, geometric accuracy of virtual models, measurement tools, and usability testing of the software on a desktop. There is no mention of any accompanying hardware component that is part of the regulated device itself. While it connects to an online management system, this is a software-based connection.
Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- Intended Use/Indications for Use: The primary intended use is explicitly stated as a "pre-surgical planner for shoulder arthroplasty, fracture, deformity correction and stabilisation procedures." It is used to "assist in the positioning of shoulder components."
- Exclusion of Diagnostic Use: The document explicitly states, "The software is to be used for adult patients only and should not be used for diagnostic purposes."
- Nature of the Device: The device is a software tool for visualizing, measuring, reconstructing, and annotating anatomical data for surgical planning. This is a tool for surgical preparation, not for diagnosing a disease or condition based on in vitro analysis of biological samples.
IVD devices are used to examine specimens derived from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening. This software does not perform such analysis.

Dear Shanthan Pather:
We have reviewed your Section 510(k) premarket notification of intent to market the device referenced above and have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to legally marketed predicate devices marketed in interstate commerce prior to May 28, 1976, the enactment date of the Medical Device Amendments, or to devices that have been reclassified in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (Act) that do not require approval of a premarket approval application (PMA). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. Although this letter refers to your product as a device, please be aware that some cleared products may instead be combination products. The 510(k) Premarket Notification Database located at https://www.accessdata.fda.gov/scripts/cdrh/cfdocs/cfpmn/pmn.cfm identifies combination product submissions. The general controls provisions of the Act include requirements for annual registration, listing of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration. Please note: CDRH does not evaluate information related to contract liability warranties. We remind you, however, that device labeling must be truthful and not misleading.
If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to additional controls.

Device Description
Akunah REFLECT Software is intended to be used as a pre-surgical planner for shoulder arthroplasty, fracture, deformity correction and stabilisation procedures. The user interface software is connected to an online management system (OMS), and is intended to be used by orthopaedic surgeons as a preoperative planning software for shoulder surgery. The software is intended to allow surgeons to:
- Visualize, measure, reconstruct, and annotate anatomic data,
- Select and position shoulder implant devices,
- . Output pre-surgical planning reports
The software is to be used for adult patients only and should not be used for diagnostic purpose.
Intended Use
Akunah REFLECT Software is intended to be used as a medical software to assist in pre-operative surgical planning for shoulder surgery.
Indication For Use
Akunah Reflect Planning Software is intended to be used as a pre-surgical planner for shoulder arthroplasty, fracture, deformity correction and stabilisation procedures. The software is used to assist in the positioning of shoulder components. Akunah Reflect Planning Software allows surgeons to visualize, measure, reconstruct, and annotate anatomic data. The software leads to the generation of a planning report. The software is to be used for adult patients only and should not be used for diagnostic purposes. Akunah Reflect should be used in conjunction with expert clinical judgement.
Comparison to Predicate Device
Akunah Reflect has been compared to legally marketed predicate device Materialise – Mimics Medical (K183105), and references devices:- Tornier - BLUEPRINT Patient Specific Instrumentation (K203315), and Materialise - Surgicase Shoulder Planner (K212569). The predicate device shares the same intended use for the software, specific to treatment planning for surgical procedures, allowing visualisation, reconstruction, measurements, annotations and editing of anatomic data. To achieve these features Akunah REFLECT employs similar fundamental technologies as the predicates.
The following technological differences exists between the subject device and the predicates:
- Akunah REFLECT does not offer a hardware component – Patient Specific Guide (PSI) or Anatomic Models, as it is a software-only device
- . Akunah REFLECT possess a unique user interface to optimise workflow and user experience.
The differences outlined above do not raise new questions of safety and effectiveness over the predicate device as demonstrated in verification and validation testing.

Image /page/5/Picture/1 description: The image shows the logo for Akunah. The logo consists of two parts: a circular pattern of orange dots on the left and the word "akunah" in orange on the right. The dots are arranged in concentric circles, creating a visually appealing design. The word "akunah" is written in a sans-serif font, with a gradient of orange color that transitions from a darker shade to a lighter shade.
Performance Data
Software verification and validation testing were performed, and documentation provided as per the Guidance for the Content of Premarket Submissions for Software Contained in Medical Devices (2005). Verification testing was performed to address all functional requirements, and usability testing was performed to demonstrate overall validation of the software against the user needs.
- Akunah REFLECT met the acceptance criteria stated for all functional verification testing across all systems and modules.
- . Geometric accuracy of the virtual models created in the subject device were assessed. Both Akunah Auto-segmentation and Premorbid Reconstruction demonstrated equivalent accuracy as established by the predicate devices.
- . Measurement Tools were verified to achieve an acceptable accuracy
- . Usability testing demonstrated the validation of the software on the Desktop for surgical planning
In conclusion, all performance testing conducted demonstrated device performance and substantial equivalence to the predicate device.
Substantial Equivalence Conclusion
The results of the verification and validation testing raise no concerns regarding the safety and effectiveness of the product. Minor differences in the non-fundamental technological characteristics raise no question of safety and effectiveness of the software. Performance data support the demonstration of substantial equivalence and usability. Therefore, the intended use, fundamental technological characteristics, and principle of operation of the Akunah REFLECT software are substantially equivalent to the predicate device.
