No
The summary describes surgical instruments used with a navigation system, but there is no mention of AI or ML in the device description, intended use, or performance studies. The navigation system itself is mentioned, but its specific technology is not detailed in this summary.
No.
The device is a surgical instrument intended to assist surgeons in precise locating anatomical structures and placing pedicle screws during spinal surgery, not to treat a medical condition.
No
The device is a set of surgical navigation instruments intended to assist surgeons in the precise localization of anatomical structures and placement of pedicle screws during spinal surgery, rather than to diagnose medical conditions.
No
The device description explicitly states that the device includes reusable surgical instruments made of stainless steel, which are physical hardware components.
No, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are devices used to examine specimens taken from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
- Device Function: The Silony Medical Navigation Instruments are surgical instruments used during surgery to assist the surgeon in precisely locating anatomical structures and placing implants. They are used directly on the patient's body, not on specimens taken from the body.
- Intended Use: The intended use clearly states they are used "during the preparation and placement of VERTICALE® pedicle screws during spinal surgery to assist the surgeon in precise locating anatomical structures." This is a surgical aid, not a diagnostic test performed on a sample.
The device is a surgical navigation instrument, which falls under a different regulatory category than IVDs.

Summary of Performance Studies (study type, sample size, AUC, MRMC, standalone performance, key results)
The VERTICALE Navigation Instruments have been tested per ASTM F2554-18. "Standard Practice for Measurement of Positional Accuracy of Computer Assisted Surgical Systems". These performance data are also applicable for the new instruments.
The additional instruments have been developed to complement Silony Medical's already approved navigable instruments (VERTICALE® Navigation Instruments; K212007) and to fully cover the intended use of the VERTICALE® Posterior Spinal Fixation System ((K171421); Section 11).
By means of a technical evaluation, the compatibility and functionality of the additional navigable instrument for spine surgery was demonstrated. Data from the already cleared navigable instruments (VERTICALE® Navigation Instruments; K212007 and Medtronic Navieated Instruments; K161210) served as the basis for the technical evaluation. The technical evaluation relates to the navigational accuracy of the instruments in terms of position verification.
As result of the verification, relevant interfaces and functionalities between the existing and the new instruments are (essentially) equivalent to the existing instruments. Therefore, the results of the verification tests (K212007) are directly transferable to the new additional instruments and repetition of these tests is not necessary.

PERFORMANCE DATA
The VERTICALE Navigation Instruments have been tested per ASTM F2554-18. "Standard Practice for Measurement of Positional Accuracy of Computer Assisted Surgical Systems".
These performance data are also applicable for the new instruments.
The additional instruments have been developed to complement Silony Medical's already approved navigable instruments (VERTICALE® Navigation Instruments; K212007) and to fully cover the intended use of the VERTICALE® Posterior Spinal Fixation System ((K171421); Section 11).
By means of a technical evaluation, the compatibility and functionality of the additional navigable instrument for spine surgery was demonstrated. Data from the already cleared navigable instruments (VERTICALE® Navigation Instruments; K212007 and Medtronic Navieated Instruments; K161210) served as the basis for the technical evaluation. The technical evaluation relates to the navigational accuracy of the instruments in terms of position verification.
As result of the verification, relevant interfaces and functionalities between the existing and the new instruments are (essentially) equivalent to the existing instruments. Therefore, the results of the verification tests (K212007) are directly transferable to the new additional instruments and repetition of these tests is not necessary.

RISK MANAGEMENT
Risk Assessment of the VERTICALE Navigation Instruments was performed in accordance with ISO 14971:2019, Medical Devices - Application of Risk Management to Medical Devices. The purpose of this analysis was to identify potential new hazards and failure modes introduced by the new devices. This risk analysis resulted in the inclusion of additional references in the labeling (surgical technique).
The previous verifications and risk controls for the predicate VERTICALE Navigation Instruments (K212007) remain valid and acceptable as the controls used are unchanged by the introduction of the new instrument components presented in this submission.
The overall residual risk is acceptable and the medical benefits continue to outweigh the overall residual risk.
The Special 510(k) Program issued by the FDA on September 13, 2019 is appropriate for this submission as the proposed change is being submitted by the legal manufacturer and a risk analysis format supports substantial equivalence
SUBSTANTIAL EQUIVALENCE CONCLUSION
The new VERTICALE Navigation Instruments are substantially equivalent to the predicate system as a spinal fixation device in regards to intended use, indications for use, fundamental technology including design, materials, manufacturing methods, sterility, and general operational principles. Furthermore, accuracy testing and other supporting information sufficiently demonstrate the substantial equivalence of the subject components to the navigated instrument system which has been cleared for stereotactic guidance during orthopedic surgery procedures.
Based on this information, the subject device does not raise any new issues regarding the safety or efficacy when compared to its predicates (K212007).
