Intended Use
The Vital Navigation System instruments are used during the preparation and placement of the Vital vy System screws during spinal surgery to precisely locate anatomical structures in either open or minimally invasive procedures. The Vital Navigation System instruments are designed for use with either the Medtronic StealthStation S7 or the Brainlab Spine & Trauma Navigation software. The ZimVie reference arrays can only be used with the Brainlab Spine & Trauma Navigation System.
Device Description
The Vital™ Navigation System is comprised of nonsterile, reusable instruments including awls, probes, taps, and drivers that can be operated manually. The Vital Navigation System instruments are designed for use with either the Medtronic StealthStation S7 or the Brainlab Spine & Trauma Navigation software. The ZimVie reference arrays can only be used with the Brainlab Spine & Trauma Navigation System. Both combinations are used to assist surgeons in precisely locating anatomical structures in either open or minimally invasive procedures for preparation and placement of Vital and Vitality Screws. This surgical imaging technology provides surgeons visualization for complex and MIS procedures and confirms the accuracy of advanced surgical procedures. The use of these navigation systems provides the surgeon access to real-time multi-plane 3D images) providing confirmation of hardware placement.
More Information

No
The description focuses on navigation instruments used with existing navigation software, and explicitly states "Not Found" for mentions of AI, DNN, or ML, and descriptions of training/test sets.

No.
The device is used to assist surgeons in precisely locating anatomical structures during spinal surgery for the preparation and placement of screws, rather than directly treating a disease or condition.

No
The device aids surgeons in locating anatomical structures during spinal surgery for screw placement and provides real-time 3D images for confirmation of hardware placement. It is an intraoperative navigation system, not a diagnostic device used for identifying diseases or conditions.

No

The device description explicitly states that the Vital Navigation System is comprised of "nonsterile, reusable instruments including awls, probes, taps, and drivers that can be operated manually," which are hardware components. While it integrates with software, it is not solely software.

Based on the provided text, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are tests performed on samples taken from the human body, such as blood, urine, or tissue, to detect diseases, conditions, or infections.
  • Device Function: The Vital Navigation System instruments are used during surgery to help surgeons precisely locate anatomical structures and guide the placement of screws. They are physical instruments used directly on the patient's body, not for analyzing samples taken from the body.
  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states the instruments are used "during the preparation and placement of the Vital vy System screws during spinal surgery to precisely locate anatomical structures." This is an in-vivo (within the living body) application, not in-vitro (in glass/outside the body).

The device is a surgical navigation system, which is a type of medical device used to assist surgeons during procedures.

As with all orthopedic surgical procedures, detailed preoperative planning is essential. Preoperative diagnostic evaluation, followed by carefully executed surgical technique is required. Postoperative care, individualized to suit the particular injury/disease requirements, is essential for optimum outcome. The surgeon must be fully aware of the risks and complications inherent to this type of surgery. Only those individuals with specialized training and experience in spinal surgery should attempt use of the instruments.

The instrument cases may be multi-layered with various inserts to hold surgical instrumentation in place during handling and storage. The inserts may consist of trays and holders. The instrument cases are perforated to allow steam to penetrate these various materials and components. The instrument cases will allow for sterilization of the contents to occur in a steam sterilizer utilizing a cycle that has been validated by the user for the equipment and procedures employed at the user facility. Instrument cases do not provide a sterile barrier and must be used in conjunction with a sterilization wrap or rigid container to maintain sterility.

Intended Use / Indications for Use

The Vital Navigation System instruments are used during the preparation and placement of the Vital and Vitality System screws during spinal surgery to precisely locate anatomical structures in either open or minimally invasive procedures. The Vital Navigation System instruments are designed for use with either the Medtronic StealthStation S7 or the Brainlab Spine & Trauma Navigation software. The ZimVie reference arrays can only be used with the Brainlab Spine & Trauma Navigation System.

Substantial Equivalence Assessment

The technological characteristics (the intended use, scientific technology and design, performance assessment, and operational principles) of the subject Vital™ Navigation System components remain the same as, or similar to, the predicate Vital™ Navigation System (K191722) or the reference Brainlab Navigation Systems (K212245).

The only modification to the indications for use was to add the option of using the Brainlab Navigation System with the Vital™ Navigation System instruments through the introduction of the newly developed reference arrays. The subject of the submission introduced 4 new arrays to support the Brainlab Navigation System, introducing a new material (7075-T6 aluminum), but the device remains biocompatible and within the risk profile of the Vital™ Navigation System.

Performance Testing Conclusion

The following verification and validation activities were performed: positional accuracy, usability, and tolerance analysis, which all met the acceptance criteria when the Vital Navigation instruments were attached to the ZimVie reference arrays. Additionally, packaging, sterilization and cleaning instructions were evaluated to determine no risks were introduced to the system. The new reference arrays are nonpatient contacting and are composed of stainless-steel (array body) and aluminum (array holder), and both materials were evaluated per ISO 10993-1. Since the device materials have neither direct nor indirect contact with the body, additional biocompatibility information is not necessary.

A risk assessment was conducted that found risks have been reduced as far as possible and concluded that the benefits associated with spine surgery and the use of the Brainlab Navigation System with the Vital™ Navigation System outweigh the risks related to posterior pedicle screw placement.
