More Information

Not Found

No
The summary describes a robotic surgical guidance system that uses imaging and markers for navigation, but there is no mention of AI or ML in the device description, intended use, or performance studies.

No
The device is described as an aid for precisely locating anatomical structures and for guiding surgical instruments and is a pedicle screw guide system. It facilitates surgical procedures but does not directly treat a disease or condition itself.

No

Explanation: The device is intended for surgical navigation and guidance (locating anatomical structures, spationing, and orientation of guide bush) during pedicle screw placement. It does not perform a diagnostic function such as identifying a disease or condition.

No

The device description explicitly lists numerous hardware components, including a robotic arm, consoles, guide bush, and various surgical instruments. This indicates it is a hardware-based system with software control, not a software-only medical device.

Based on the provided information, the CUVIS-spine device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states that the device is used as an aid for precisely locating anatomical structures and guiding surgical instruments during surgery (pedicle screw placement). This is an in vivo application, meaning it is used within a living organism.
  • Device Description: The description details a robotic system, consoles, and surgical instruments. These are tools used directly on or within the patient during a surgical procedure.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: IVD devices are typically used to examine specimens (like blood, urine, tissue) outside of the body to provide information about a patient's health status, diagnose conditions, or monitor treatment. The CUVIS-spine does not perform any such analysis of biological samples.

The CUVIS-spine is a surgical navigation and robotic assistance system, which falls under a different regulatory category than IVD devices.

Summary of Performance Studies (study type, sample size, AUC, MRMC, standalone performance, key results)

Non-clinical tests: Pose accuracy and Repeatability of the CUVIS-spine were tested and validated. A cadaveric study of the proposed device had been performed for the robotic-assisted pedicle screw placement.

Biocompatibility were tested using following consensus standards:

  • Tests for in vitro cytotoxicity were tested and evaluated according to the FDA-recognized consensus standard, ISO 10993-5.
  • Tests for irritation, skin sensitization and intracutaneous reactivity were tested and evaluated according to the FDA-recognized consensus standard, ISO 10993-10.

Electromagnetic compatibility and electrical safety, etc, were tested using following consensus standards:

  • Basic safety and essential performance of the CUVIS-spine is tested and evaluated according to the FDA-recognized consensus standard, ES 60601-1.
  • -Effect to the device by electromagnetic disturbances were tested and evaluated according to the FDA-recognized consensus standard IEC 60601-1-2.
  • Risk management was recorded by referring to ISO 14971. -
  • Usability was documented by referring to IEC 60601-1-6. -

Software validation and verification testing was performed in accordance with the FDA Guidance for the Content of Premarket Submissions for Software Contained in Medical Devices (May 11, 2005).

5.8. Substantial Equivalence

CUVIS-spine, a proposed device, is equivalent to CUVIS-spine(K201569) as a whole, and some characteristics are equivalent to Excelsius GPSTM(K171651).

CUVIS-spine is not based on a new technology. The differences between CUVIS-spine and the predicate device would not affect the safety, effectiveness, and essential performance. Thus, subject device CUVIS-spine is concluded to be substantially equivalent to the predicate device.

5.9. Conclusions

On the basis of the information provided in this Summary, CUREXO, INC. believes that CUVIS-spine is substantially equivalent to legally commercialized predicate devices for the purposes of this 510 (k) submission.
