The ApolloHipX is an image processing software that assists in precisely measuring the position of total hip replacement components. It measures component alignment to assist in precise placement, but clinical judgment and experience of an orthopaedic surgeon are required to properly interpret the results. It does not directly treat or diagnose a disease or condition.
No
The device is an assistive tool for surgeons during hip replacement surgery, focusing on measuring component alignment and providing information on implant positions relative to bone structures. It explicitly states that "The software is not for primary image interpretation" and requires "Clinical judgment and experience of an orthopaedic surgeon... to properly interpret the results," indicating it does not diagnose medical conditions.
No
The device description explicitly states that the software is intended to be installed on "certified hardware (Apollo Station)" and describes the Apollo Station as a "physical structure" that houses components like a power supply, user interfaces, and communication systems. This indicates the device includes dedicated hardware beyond a general-purpose computing platform.
Based on the provided information, no, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are medical devices used to perform tests on samples taken from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information about a person's health.
- ApolloHipX's Function: ApolloHipX is a software device that processes medical images (X-rays, CT scans) and pre-operative data to assist surgeons during total hip replacement surgery. It measures the position and alignment of implants and instruments relative to bone structures.
- No Sample Testing: The device does not interact with or analyze any biological samples from the patient. Its function is entirely based on processing and interpreting medical imaging data and pre-operative plans.
Therefore, ApolloHipX falls under the category of medical imaging software or surgical planning/guidance software, not In Vitro Diagnostics.

Device Description
ApolloHipX is a non-invasive intra-operative, image processing software intended to precisely measure the position of total hip replacement (THR) components. The software operates as a near-real time assistive device for THR, measuring component alignment, to assist in precise placement of THR components. The software is intended to be installed on certified hardware (Apollo Station) located outside the patient field. This is accomplished by:
• Transfer of intra-operative 2D imaging of the patient from a capture source e.g. an X-ray machine
• Registration of the 3D pre-operative patient data to the 2D intra-operative patient imaging
• Calculation and display of the component alignment (for final implants as well as intra-operative instruments e.g., broaches and trials) which can be compared to pre-operative target positions.
ApolloHipX is intended to precisely measure the position of THR components by measuring implant positions relative to bone structures identifiable from radiological images and providing information on component alignment.
Clinical judgment and experience of an orthopaedic surgeon are required to properly interpret the results from the software. The software is not for primary image interpretation.The Apollo Station is the physical structure used to host the power supply and contains two user interfaces (monitor and tablet) from which the user can interact with the software applications. It also houses non-surgical Software that manages the user authentication, system access, data transfer of surgical inputs and communication to Corin's cloudhosted ecosystem. The Apollo Station connects to the imaging device intra-operatively to receive the 2D radiological images.

Dear Aaron Brunt:
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 (the 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 available 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. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 898. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register.

Intended Use/Indications for Use

ApolloHipX is indicated for use in assisting in Total Hip Replacement in which the use of radiological imaging may be appropriate.
Indications for Use Comparison
ApolloHipX is identical to JointPoint (K160284) in terms of intended use and indications for use intraoperatively. JointPoint is also intended for preoperative planning, ApolloHipX is not intended for preoperative planning. There are some slight differences in indications which do not alter the overall intended use or indications of the subject device nor do they impact the safety and effectiveness of the device relative to the predicate.
Technological Comparison
ApolloHipX and JointPoint have identical measurement outputs related to cup position and measurements related to the stem and hip joint such as leg length (LL) and offset (OS). Both software products utilize a simulated templating feature, which allows users to view the simulated change in LL and OS measurements based on the current measured positions and selected components.
ApolloHipX differs from JointPoint in terms of preoperative templating. Preoperative templating can be performed using JointPoint, however ApolloHipX does not have this feature. ApolloHipX accepts preoperative planning inputs, which are completed in OPSInsight (K202805) along with 3D bony model generation. ApolloHipX uses input of pre-operative patient landmarks identified from 3D CT, while Joint allows the user to define pre-operative patient landmarks identified from 2D radiographs.
Both systems utilise imaging to identify bone alignment between different patient states or positions. ApolloHipX uses 3D to 2D registration whilst Joint overlays 2D fluoroscopy images. Both softwares calculate and present measurements to the end user. Though both use different inputs, they both provide the same output.
Based on these similarities, Corin believes that ApolloHipX is considered to be substantially equivalent to the predicate device in terms of intended use and technological characteristics. Where differences exist between technological characteristics, they do not raise new questions of safety and effectiveness.
Non-Clinical and/or Clinical Tests Summary & Conclusions 21 CFR 807.92(b)
Non-clinical testing conducted to determine substantial equivalence includes:
- Registration Software 2D Landmarking Repeatability and Reproducibility
- Registration System 3D Landmark Repeatability and Reproducibility
- Formative study
- Comparison Study of Fluoroscopy Imaging Types
- Algorithm Accuracy Study
- Sawbone study
- Cadaveric evaluation
Not Applicable. No clinical testing performed to support substantial equivalence.
The results of the tests conducted on the HipX system show that the device is substantially equivalent to the predicate devices. A comparison of intended use and indications for use also demonstrated substantial equivalence.
