The Micromate™ Navi+ device is a user-controlled electromechanical arm with a needle guide. It is intended to assist the user in the positioning of 8-19 gauge needles in the chest, abdomen and musculoskeletal structures when computed tomography (CT) optical navigation can be used for target trajectory planning and intra-operative tracking. The needle is then manually advanced by the user. Trajectory planning is made with software that is a part of the Micromate™ Navi+ device.
The Micromate™ Navi+ system allows the percutaneous execution of a surgical intervention by providing instrument guidance according to one or more pre-operative plans defined by an internal planning and navigation software (MicroNav). The alignment to the surgical plan is performed through a manual gross-positioning using a Positioning Arm, followed by automatic or joystick-controlled movement with image guidance, such as optical CT navigation (tracked by camera). After alignment, the advancement of surgical instruments and delivery of therapy is performed manually by the user, while the position is retained by the targeting platform of Micromate™ Navi+, relying on the displayed navigation information or real-time images from third party imaging device.
The Micromate Navi+ device is intended for biopsy and percutaneous tumor ablation procedures, in the abdomen, thorax and musculoskeletal tissue.
The Micromate™ Navi+ system comprises the following main components:
- Targeting Platform, a robotic positioning unit that aligns to the surgical plan and holds the surgical instruments through an end-effector acting as a tool-guide adapter,
- Control Unit, device that allows the automatic or manual control of the Targeting Platform movement and can communicate with an internal planning and navigation station,
- Positioning Arm, a multi-functional arm that is used to gross-position the Targeting Platform in such a way the traiectory is reachable.
- Strain Relief Box, which distributes power and data through the Micromate™ system,
- Power and Network Unit, which connects the system to power and allows an optional direct point-to-point connection to an internal planning and navigation station for input of real-time navigation data,
- Connecting Cables.
and following Accessories:
- Sterile Drapes for the Control Unit and Targeting Platform,
- Needle guides for instrument guidance, packaged together with a drape for the sterile covering of the Targeting Platform,
- Sterile Tracker, to which off-the-shelf mounting spheres can be attached, to enable optical tracking for the localization of the Targeting Platform in space,
- A trolley for transport and storage,
- Medical grade PC,
- Camera tracking system,
- Planning and navigation software (MicroNav).
The provided text describes the 510(k) premarket notification for the Micromate™ Navi+ device, which is a user-controlled electromechanical arm with a needle guide intended to assist in positioning 8-19 gauge needles in the chest, abdomen, and musculoskeletal structures under CT optical navigation.
Here's a breakdown of the acceptance criteria and the study proving the device meets those criteria, based on the provided text:
1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance
The document doesn't explicitly state "acceptance criteria" in a numbered or bulleted list with specific numerical thresholds for clinical performance. However, it details the performance achieved which, implicitly, must have met internal or regulatory acceptance thresholds for substantial equivalence. The key performance metrics reported are accuracy measurements.
| Metric (Implicit Acceptance Criteria) | Reported Device Performance |
|---|---|
| Bench-Test Accuracy (Lateral Deviation) | 1.04 ± 0.60 mm |
| Bench-Test Accuracy (Angular Deviation) | 0.75 ± 0.47º |
| Clinical Guidance Accuracy - Abdominal (Lateral Deviation) | 1.48 ± 1.18 mm |
| Clinical Guidance Accuracy - Abdominal (Angular Deviation) | 1.04 ± 0.97º |
| Clinical Guidance Accuracy - Musculoskeletal (Lateral Deviation) | 0.62 ± 0.41 mm |
| Clinical Guidance Accuracy - Musculoskeletal (Angular Deviation) | 0.61 ± 0.41º |
| Clinical Guidance Accuracy - Thoracic (Lateral Deviation) | 1.76 ± 1.26 mm |
| Clinical Guidance Accuracy - Thoracic (Angular Deviation) | 1.34 ± 0.82º |
| Overall Clinical Guidance Accuracy (Lateral Deviation) | 1.33 ± 1.13 mm |
| Overall Clinical Guidance Accuracy (Angular Deviation) | 1.02 ± 0.83º |
| Worst-Case Expectable Clinical Accuracy - Abdomen | 6.93 mm |
| Worst-Case Expectable Clinical Accuracy - Musculoskeletal | 4.12 mm |
| Worst-Case Expectable Clinical Accuracy - Thorax | 7.41 mm |
| Worst-Case Expectable Clinical Accuracy - Overall | 6.40 mm |
| Needle Readjustment Rate | 0.13 ± 0.45 times per procedure |
| Navigation Accuracy per ASTM F2554-18 (95% CI) | Below 2mm (lateral), Below 2º (angular) from trajectory |
The document states: "The overall scope of accuracy testing supported, with high statistical confidence, a positive conclusion on the safe and effective use of the device in a clinical setting." This suggests that the reported accuracy values and the low needle readjustment rate were deemed acceptable by the manufacturer and, subsequently, by the FDA for substantial equivalence.
2. Sample Size and Data Provenance
- Test Set Sample Size:
- Clinical Guidance Accuracy: 54 interventions (19 abdominal lesions, 19 thoracic lesions, and 16 musculoskeletal lesions). This constitutes the number of procedures in which performance data was collected.
- Bench Test Accuracy: The sample size for the bench test is not explicitly stated in terms of number of measurements, but it refers to the validation per ASTM F2554-18.
- Data Provenance: The text does not specify the country of origin for the clinical study data or whether it was retrospective or prospective. It only mentions the manufacturer's location as Austria. It states "data gathered in simulated clinical environment" for pre-clinical performance data and then discusses "clinical guidance accuracy," implying a clinical study for that part.
3. Number of Experts and Qualifications for Ground Truth
The document does not provide information on the number of experts used to establish ground truth for the test set or their specific qualifications (e.g., "radiologist with 10 years of experience"). For the clinical guidance accuracy, it would implicitly be the outcome of surgical procedures, likely assessed post-procedure by imaging or surgical confirmation.
4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set
The document does not describe any adjudication method (e.g., 2+1, 3+1, none) for the test set. Ground truth appears to be based on the outcome of the interventional procedures as measured by CT imaging after needle placement.
5. Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) Comparative Effectiveness Study
There is no indication that a Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) comparative effectiveness study was conducted. The study focuses on the device's accuracy in assisting human users, not on comparing outcomes of human readers with vs. without AI assistance in interpretation. The device is a navigation system for needle placement, not primarily an AI for image interpretation.
6. Standalone (Algorithm Only) Performance
The device is described as a "user-controlled electromechanical arm." Its "planning and navigation software (MicroNav)" is an integral part of the device assisting the user. The study focuses on the device's accuracy in assisting the user in needle placement. Therefore, a standalone (algorithm only without human-in-the-loop) performance study, in the sense of an AI interpreting images, is not applicable or described in this context. The "bench-test accuracy" could be considered a form of standalone performance for the mechanical/software system, independent of a live clinical user's influence beyond initial setup.
7. Type of Ground Truth Used
The ground truth for accuracy validation appears to be based on objective measurement of the actual needle position relative to the planned trajectory using imaging (CT) after the procedure. This is inferred from "lateral deviation" and "angular deviation" measurements in both "simulated use environment" (bench-test) and "clinical guidance accuracy." It is not explicitly stated to be "expert consensus" or "pathology outcomes data" in the traditional sense of diagnostic AI.
8. Sample Size for the Training Set
The document does not specify the sample size used for the training set for the planning and navigation software (MicroNav). This information is typically not included in a 510(k) summary relating to substantial equivalence unless significant changes in software algorithms or AI training are explicitly being reviewed.
9. How the Ground Truth for the Training Set was Established
The document does not specify how the ground truth for the training set of the MicroNav software was established. Given the nature of a medical device 510(k) submission, the focus is on verification and validation (V&V) of the final product, rather than the developmental steps like training data ground truth establishment, unless it directly impacts the safety and effectiveness of the device in a novel way. However, software verification and validation testing are mentioned, performed in accordance with FDA Guidance and IEC 62304.

Similarities and Differences:
The Micromate™ system is the second generation robotic platform of iSYS Medizintechnik GmbH and Micromate™ Navi+ is an evolution of Micromate™, preserving the intended use and indications for use, with a changed system architecture and intervention planning input, further expanding available features and workflow set equivalent to suggested FDA cleared devices. Details of equivalence are presented in the device comparison table.
The Micromate™ Navi+ system and the Micromate™ have same indications and the same intended use, the hardware and firmware design of the control unit and targeting platform is the same, whereas Micromate™ Navi+ system comprises of additional/changed accessories internal planning software, trolley, and third-party external accessories: medical PC, camera and the necessary table/bed adapters are also different. Expanding features are supported by additional positioning arm for camera.
The following list identifies the similarities and differences between the devices.
Micromate™ Navi+ is equivalent to:
-
- Micromate™ for having the same general intended use. The intended use of the Micromate Navi+ is a subset of Micromate™ intended use. The Micromate™ Navi+ is therefore equivalent to predicate in this respect within its indications for use
-
- Micromate™ for having the same principle of operation
-
- Micromate™ robot execution system which is built according to the exact same core system architecture and same hardware design for Control unit and Targeting Platform
-
- Micromate™ system for having the same operating principle by allowing an alignment to a surgical plan, thus assisting in the spatial positioning, orientation and guidance of a surgical tool.
-
- Micromate™ system for supporting manual and automatic robotic movements.
-
- Micromate™ system for having the user verifying the final accuracy
-
- Micromate™ system for having the same instrument fixation means
-
- Micromate™ and Excelsius GPS system for being image-guided robotic systems
-
- Micromate™ and Excelsius GPS system for providing registration means for the imaging device
-
- Micromate™ and Excelsius GPS system for having tool guides as instrumentation
-
- Micromate™ and Excelsius GPS system for performing of automatic registration of observed objects
-

-
- Excelsius GPS for having the similar planning and navigation software capable of visualizing acquired radiological images (2D, 3D) and interventional plan created by user, and navigating the system during the execution of previously created plan
-
- Excelsius GPS system for having real-time position information provided by a planning software
-
- Excelsius GPS system for having equivalent trajectory planning parameters
-
- Excelsius GPS for having possibilities for camera (optical) tracking of guided instruments
Differences:
-
- Excelsius GPS for registration approach, while keeping the same basic principle of matching patient s anatomy location to location in space of tracking spheres attached to device's end effector.
Excelsius GPS has patient registration performed by referencing between the virtual patient (points on the patient images) and the physical patient (corresponding points on the patient's anatomy), while Micromate™ Navi+ registration is automatically obtained by triangulation, by comparing the measured positions of the disposable marker spheres (connected to the disposable tracker) in the camera coordinate system, to their pre-specified position in space in relation to the also estimated, position of the subject device end-effector fiducials. This relation allows to calculate the transformation matrix between the camera image space and the subject device image space (which is the CT volume coordinate system).
- Excelsius GPS for registration approach, while keeping the same basic principle of matching patient s anatomy location to location in space of tracking spheres attached to device's end effector.
-
- Excelsius GPS for indicated anatomy application. Micromate™ Navi+ is indicated for any image-guided procedure that involves placing or manipulating instruments based on acquired radiology or real time images with, or without, navigation while Excelsius GPS is indicated for placement of spinal and orthopedic bone screws. Although anatomical range of Excelsius GPS is subset of subject device anatomical range, due to general operating principle of locating the target, anatomical structure range is not limiting the reference device equivalence.
-
- Excelsius GPS for using dynamic reference frame Micromate™ Navi+ uses tracker frame attached to the robot`s end effector. The use of a dynamic reference frame is state-of-theart for spine surgery, but depends on the fixation of the frame to a rigid anatomical location, such as bone. In the case of spine surgery, the dynamic reference frame is attached to the spinous process of an adjacent vertebra or other spinal anatomical landmark, as there is a nearly perfect rigid relationship between the structures. That does not hold true for soft tissue and for the relationship between soft tissue and bone. This aspect does not raise additional questions reqarding usability or safety. Micromate Navi+'s approach is simpler as it does not require the attachment of another tracked frame and the issues related to frame occlusion and handling. It is also safer, as Micromate Navi+ requires the user to confirm with live imaging or additional scans the position of instruments anytime that is necessary, and especially before the full insertion of the instruments, which is more accurate than relying on tracked data and overlaying navigation data on previously acquired CT scans, which may not reflect the actual location of structures.
-
- Excelsius GPS for some additional ergonomic features: Image merging (image fusion) and plan save/load. Micromate™ Navi+ do not have these additional features, but this is not affecting the safety of the workflow neither is reducing the performance.
-
- Excelsius GPS for accuracy verification method Micromate™ Navi+ uses the scout scans instead of pointing a navigated instrument to anatomical location. The user can acquire a new registration scan in case we are inaccurate. The user judges the position of the device itself based on live imaging, or other imaging methods.

Accuracy Validation
The system's bench-test accuracy was validated in a simulated use environment using the claimed compatible instruments and achieved an average accuracy of 1.04 ± 0.60mm of lateral deviation and 0.75 ± 0.47º anqular deviation to the planned traiectory, at the instrument tip.
The system's clinical guidance accuracy for the claimed indications was validated in 54 interventions (19 abdominal lesions, 19 thoracic lesions, and 16 musculoskeletal lesions) using the claimed compatible instruments. The system achieved an average clinical guidance accuracy of 1.48 ± 1.18mm of lateral deviation and 1.04 ± 0.97º of anqular deviation in abdominal procedures, 0.62 ± 0.41mm of lateral deviation and 0.61 ± 0.41º of angular deviation in musculoskeletal procedures, 1.76 ± 1.26mm of lateral deviation and 1.34 ± 0.82º of angular deviation in thoracic procedures. The overall clinical guidance accuracy in the whole cohort was 1.33 ± 1.13mm of lateral deviation and 1.02 ± 0.83º of angular deviation.
An estimate of the worst-case expectable clinical accuracy was calculated by combining the 99% confidence interval of the clinical guidance accuracy with the 99% confidence interval of the navigation accuracy, as measured per the bench accuracy test. The calculated value was 6.93mm for the abdomen, 4.12mm for the musculoskeletal tissue, 7.41mm for the thorax, and 6.40mm overall, for a needle readjustment rate of 0.13 ± 0.45 times per procedure. The overall scope of accuracy testing supported, with high statistical confidence, a positive conclusion on the safe and effective use of the device in a clinical setting.
Statement of safety and effectiveness data
The Micromate™ Navi+ is substantially equivalent to the legally marketed predicate device. It is our opinion that the subject device system does not have technological characteristics that raise additional questions related to safety and effectiveness.
Conclusion
Micromate™ Navi+ system has been shown through comparison, pre-clinical and performance data gathered in simulated clinical environment, to be substantially equivalent to the identified predicate device. The system claims are a subset of those of the predicate device, for which safety and effectiveness was proven through verification and validation activities, while having the additional technological characteristics and principles of operation equivalent to reference device.
New technological aspects, such as the internal planning and navigation software do not alter the fundamental intended use, indications for use neither the basic operating principle of the device, and do not affect its safety and effectiveness when used as labeled.
