The Mazor X is indicated for precise positioning of surgical instruments or spinal implants during general spinal surgery. It may be used in open or minimally invasive or percutaneous procedures. Mazor X 3D imaging capabilities provide a processing and conversion of 2D fluoroscopic projections from standard C-arms into a volumetric 3D image. It is intended to be used whenever the clinician and/or patient benefits from generated 3D imaging of high contrast objects.
The Mazor X navigation tracks the position of instruments, during spinal surgery, in relation to the surgical anatomy and identifies this position on diagnostic or intraoperative images of a patient.
The Mazor X system combines robotic trajectory guidance with navigated surgical instruments (either guided or free hand navigation) to enable the surgeon to precisely position surgical instruments and/or implants according to predefined planning. With the imaging capabilities of the system, the user can also visualize the implants on the patients CT. Same as the predicate device the modified Mazor X consists of a workstation with dedicated software, the surgical system, navigation camera, accessories, instruments and disposable kits. The modified Mazor X, the subject of this 510(k) application, introduces software and hardware modifications to the Mazor X System cleared in 510(k) K230064.

Device Description
The Mazor X system combines robotic trajectory guidance with navigated surgical instruments (either guided or free hand navigation) to enable the surgeon to precisely position surgical instruments and/or implants according to predefined planning. With the imaging capabilities of the system, the user can also visualize the implants on the patients CT. Same as the predicate device the modified Mazor X consists of a workstation with dedicated software, the surgical system, navigation camera, accessories, instruments and disposable kits. The modified Mazor X, the subject of this 510(k) application, introduces software and hardware modifications to the Mazor X System cleared in 510(k) K230064.
Technological Characteristics
The modified Mazor X device is similar in its technological features to its predicate device, the cleared Mazor X. Both the subject and predicate systems combine robotic and navigation technologies to enable the precise positioning and tracking of surgical instruments or spinal implants during general spinal surgery. Both systems allow registration of image data with patient anatomy by registering the pre-operative CT scan to the intra-operative fluoroscopic scans, and by localizing the position of the 3D patient volume to the robotic system. In both systems, the positioning of surgical instruments and their trajectories are guided by the system in accordance with the planning conducted by the surgeon on the pre-operative CT image. In both systems, the navigation feature provides the option of tracking the surgical instruments during the procedure. Both systems include very similar hardware and software components, including the workstation, the surgical system, navigation camera, accessories, instruments, and disposable kits. The modifications to the cleared Mazor X System, that are the subject of this premarket application, include software enhancements to enable extended functionality (in registration and planning stages), compatibility with additional, previously cleared, surgical tools and some minor hardware changes.
The minor differences in the technological characteristics between the modified Mazor X and its predicate device do not raise different questions of safety or efficacy. The performance bench testing and Human Factors validation, provided with this premarket application, demonstrate that the modified Mazor X is as safe and effective as its predicate devices.

Performance Testing
The following testing was conducted to evaluate the device:
a) Software major level of concern verification and validation testing was conducted as required by IEC 62304 and FDA Guidance on General Principles of Software Validation, January 11, 2002.
b) Bench testing was conducted to verify that the design outputs meet the design inputs. The functionality of the new or modified features was tested to ensure that system requirements, software requirements and user needs were met as defined. Specifically, the Automatic registration feature and the new machine-learning based features (2D Automatic Measurements and Plan Assist) and the X-Eye camera removal were verified and validated through testing.
AI-enabled device software functions
1. 2D Automatic Measurements
The software incorporates the 2D Automatic Measurements feature which automatically detects key spinopelvic landmarks and produces spinopelvic measurements on AP and LAT X-rays images. The feature utilizes two locked AI algorithms: the Endplate detection algorithm and the Femoral head detection algorithm.

| Spinopelvic parameters' measurements accuracy | |
|---|---|
| Sample size per view | 146 AP images, 253 LAT images (for all spinopelvic parameters). Each spinopelvic parameter had its own sample size ranging from 24 images to 126 images. |
| Gender | 67% female, 30% male, 3% unknown |
| Age groups | 43% Children & adolescents, 33% Adults, 13% Geriatric, 11% unknown |
| Image quality distribution | ~30% good, ~70% medium (average across all spinopelvic parameters). |
| Image quality definition | Image quality was categorized as Good, Medium, or Poor based on contrast, bone delineation, and artifact/noise levels. Images rated Poor were excluded from the validation dataset. |
| Reference standard type & process | Each spinopelvic parameter annotations were comprised of endplate line annotations, endplate endpoint annotations, and/or femoral head circle annotations performed by Three U.S board certified radiologists using the Mazor X device and compared to the AI measurements value. |
| Test statistics | 1. Single measurement absolute agreement intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) was used to assess agreement the AI measurement results and the reference standard. The acceptance criterion of the ICC of least 0.75 with a 95% confidence level was achieved for all spinopelvic measurements. 2. An F test was conducted to statistically demonstrate that the ICC was statistically larger than 0.75. For all spinopelvic measurements, the resulting p-value was below 0.05. 3. Bland Altman analysis – for all spinopelvic measurements, the 95% limits of agreement were in range of a defined clinical range. |
Non-clinical verification and clinical validation datasets were independent from the development dataset, with data source site-level separation to ensure data independence.
Out of scope for the 2D Automatic Measurements Feature: implants or foreign objects, images with a quality rank of "poor" or "very poor", and unique spinal conditions (revisions, fractures, tumors, hemivertebrae).

Conclusion
The modified Mazor X is as safe and effective as the cleared Mazor X. The modified Mazor X has the same intended use and indications for use and similar technological characteristics, and principles of operation as its predicate device. The minor technological differences between the modified Mazor X and its predicate device raise no new issues of safety or effectiveness. Performance data demonstrate that the modified Mazor X is as safe and effective as its predicate device. Thus, the Mazor X is substantially equivalent.
