(28 days)
No
The description focuses on robotic assistance, optical tracking, and pre-operative planning based on CT scans and a library of implants. There is no mention of AI or ML being used for tasks like image analysis, surgical planning optimization, or real-time decision support.
No
The device is a surgical assistance system that helps the surgeon accurately place knee implant components during total knee replacement surgery. It does not directly treat a disease or condition in a patient but rather assists in performing a surgical procedure.
No
This device is a robotic surgical assistance system for total knee replacement surgery. It aids the surgeon in accurate component placement based on a preoperative surgical plan and intraoperative referencing, rather than diagnosing a condition.
No
The device description explicitly states that the system consists of three primary components: a Preoperative Planning Workstation (software), an Optical Tracking Navigation Console (likely hardware and software), and a robotically controlled hand-held tool (hardware and software). This clearly indicates the presence of hardware components beyond just software.
Based on the provided information, 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 TMIN® Miniature Robotic System is a surgical guidance system used during total knee replacement surgery. It assists the surgeon in planning and executing bone cuts and pin placements based on preoperative imaging and a surgical plan.
- No Sample Analysis: The system does not analyze any biological samples from the patient. Its function is entirely focused on providing spatial guidance and reference information within the surgical field.
The device description clearly outlines its role as a stereotaxic instrumentation system for surgical assistance, not for diagnostic testing of biological samples.
N/A
Intended Use / Indications for Use

Device Description
Like its predicate, the TMINI® Miniature Robotic System (Additional Knee System) consists of three primary components: a three-dimensional, graphical, Preoperative Planning Workstation (TPLAN® Planning Station), an Optical Tracking Navigation Console (TNav) and a robotically controlled hand-held tool (TMINI Robot) that assists the surgeon in preparing the bone for implantation of TKA components.
The TPLAN Planning Station uses preoperative CT scans of the operative leg to create 3D surface models for case templating and intraoperative registration purposes. The Planning Workstation contains a library of 510(k) cleared knee replacement implant(s) available for use with the system. The surgeon can select an implant model from this library. The planner/surgeon can manipulate the 3D representation of the implant in relation to the bone model to optimally place the implant. The surgeon reviews and approves the case plan once the surgeon is satisfied with the implant selection and orientation. The data from the approved plan is written to a file that is used to guide the robotically controlled hand-held tool.
The hand-held robotic tool is optically tracked relative to optical markers placed in both the femur and tibia and articulates in two degrees-of-freedom, allowing the user to place bone pins in a planar manner in both bones. Mechanical guides are clamped to the bone pins, resulting in subsequent placement of cut slots and drill guide holes such that the distal femoral and proximal tibial cuts can be made in the pre-planned positions and orientations, and such that the implant manufacturer's multi-planer cutting block can be placed relative to drilled distal femoral pilot holes. If the surgeon needs to change the plan during surgery, it can be changed intraoperatively using TNav.

Below the word "THINK" is the word "SURGICAL" in smaller, black letters. The logo is clean and modern, with a focus on the company name.
The TPLAN Planning Station uses preoperative CT scans of the operative leg to create 3D surface models for case templating and intraoperative registration purposes. The Planning Workstation contains a library of 510(k) cleared knee replacement implant(s) available for use with the system. The surgeon can select an implant model from this library. The planner/surqeon can manipulate the 3D representation of the implant in relation to the bone model to optimally place the implant. The surgeon reviews and approves the case plan once the surgeon is satisfied with the implant selection and orientation. The data from the approved plan is written to a file that is used to guide the robotically controlled hand-held tool.
The hand-held robotic tool is optically tracked relative to optical markers placed in both the femur and tibia and articulates in two degrees-of-freedom, allowing the user to place bone pins in a planar manner in both bones. Mechanical quides are clamped to the bone pins, resulting in subsequent placement of cut slots and drill guide holes such that the distal femoral and proximal tibial cuts can be made in the pre-planned positions and orientations, and such that the implant manufacturer's multi-planer cutting block can be placed relative to drilled distal femoral pilot holes. If the surgeon needs to change the plan during surgery, it can be changed intraoperatively using TNav.
Intended Use:
Like the predicate, the TMIN® Miniature Robotic System (Additional Knee System) is intended to assist the surgeon in providing software defined spatial boundaries for orientation and reference information to anatomical structures during orthopedic procedures.
Indications for Use:
The differences between the indications for use of the current device and the predicate are the addition of the three additional knee systems. See Table-1 below.

Substantial Equivalence:
Both the TMINI® Miniature Robotic System (Additional Knee System), the subject of this submission, and the predicate device have the same intended use. Both are indicated as a stereotaxic instrumentation system for total knee replacement (TKA) surgery. It is to assist the surgeon by providing software-defined spatial boundaries for orientation and reference information to identifiable anatomical structures for the accurate placement of knee implant components during orthopedic procedures.
The robotic device placement is performed relative to anatomical landmarks as recorded using the system intraoperatively and based on a surgical plan determined preoperatively using CT based surgical planning tools. The difference between the new device and the predicate is that the new device includes compatibility with three additional knee systems. The addition of the three knee systems do not alter the intended use, Indications for Use (other than the addition of the three new implant systems), design, materials, technology, or operational principles of the TMINI® Miniature Robotic System and no new questions of safety or effectiveness resulted from the changes.
The Indications for Use of the new device and its predicate are identical except for the addition of the two new implant systems to the list of compatible implant systems and the removal of the sentence listing the system components.
Verification and validation activities were performed to ensure that the TMINI® Miniature Robotic System (Additional Knee System) fulfilled system requirements, ensure that the product design conforms to the user needs and intended uses and performs substantially equivalent to the predicate, TMINI® Miniature Robotic System, cleared via K242264.

analysis and mitigation of the risks associated with the addition of three compatible knee implant systems. The risk assessment resulted in the identification of no new clinical hazards. Each of the clinical hazards identified through this risk assessment is a previously documented hazard associated with the use of the TMINI® Miniature Robotic System. The addition of three new implant systems does not increase the likelihood or severity of these hazards; therefore, the risks associated with the use of the device remain unchanged as compared to the predicate.
Conclusion
The TMIN® Miniature Robotic System (Additional Knee System) is substantially equivalent to the predicate, TMINI® Miniature Robotic System cleared in K242264, in the following ways: it has the same intended use, the same technological characteristics and operating principles, and incorporates the same design and materials.
Performance testing and risk analysis has demonstrated that the performance and risk profile of the TMINI® Miniature Robotic System (Additional Knee System) is substantially equivalent to that of the predicate device and does not raise any new question of safety and effectiveness.
THINK Surgical Inc. respectfully submits that this filing contains adequate information and data to demonstrate the substantial equivalence of the TMIN® Miniature Robotic System (Additional Knee System) to the legally marketed TMINI® Miniature Robotic System cleared via K242264.
