The VMA software is a quantitative imaging software application intended to be used to process any diagnostic imaging modality except mammography from digital image files in DICOM format. It is designed for physicians and clinical professionals who are interested in the analysis of alignment and motion in medical images, particularly in musculoskeletal images of the spine. VMA software permits users to review static and dynamic digital lumbar, thoracic, and cervical spine images. In the case of fluoroscopic images, these are acquired with the assistance of the MOTION NORMALIZER patient handling and data collection device, which is designed for use by imaging technicians and intended to assist with patient lumbar and cervical bending and data collection during imaging. VMA software also facilitates quantitative assessment of vertebral alignment and motion in digital medical images. Information about the alignment and motion of selected objects, such as bone structures, can be generated and presented in the form of a 'motion analysis' report containing graphics, charts, charts, and text.

The subject device consists of the following components and accessories: VMA™ software (for data transfer, post-image processing and analysis), and its accessory device, the MOTION NORMALIZER™ patient handling and data collection device, which is comprised of the MOTION NORMALIZER Upright and Table devices (for patient assistance during image acquisition), and Control Console (for user interface during imaging). The subject VMA™ software, and its accessory device, the MOTION NORMALIZER patient handling and data collection device, operate as a system ("the VMA™ System") in conjunction with other commercially-available accessory devices to produce quantitative analysis of inter-vertebral motion in adult patients. None of the software associated with the subject device performs functions that create radiographic images, nor does the software control, operate, or govern the functionality of the imaging device (i.e., C-Arm Fluoroscopy Device). With respect to the MOTION NORMALIZER™ hardware, this hardware is configured to assist with lumbar and cervical data collection while images are captured with a standard fluoroscope, and this remains unchanged in the modified device relative to the cleared system (K133875). The additional inclusion of the ability to process thoracic images in the modified device pertains to a new ability to process thoracic images that come from a source other than the MOTION NORMALIZER™ hardware. Image processing operators, who are Ortho Kinematics, Inc. employees, operate the VMA™ software to process images and facilitate template placement for the prescriber. Prescriber users are able to access processed images and measurement results via an online account administered by Ortho Kinematics, Inc. Prescriber users are able to configure account settings that enable the prescriber to be alerted any time specific user-defined measurement thresholds are exceeded.

The OKI Surgical Planning Software assists healthcare professionals in planning lumbar spinal fusion surgeries. The device allows service providers to plan surgical procedures, including tools for assessing anatomical components for placement of surgical implants. Clinical judgment and experience are required to properly use the software.

The Ortho Kinematics OKI Surgical Planning Software is a software only accessory to a picture archiving and communications system. It is designed to be used to assess measurements from DICOM compliant images in a cleared PACS device and plan surgical spinal procedures. It offers the ability to plan certain surgical procedures, such as lumbar spine fusion. It offers tools for viewing data, and the ability to facilitate the estimation of a potential post-operative alignment and correction, based on pre-operative measurements, as well as the geometric parameters associated with specific lumbar interbody implant devices.

The KINEGRAPH VMA™ software is a quantitative imaging software application intended to be used to process digital image files. It is designed for physicians and clinical professionals who are interested in the analysis of motion in medical images, particularly in musculoskeletal images of the spine. KINEGRAPH VMA™ software permits users to review static and dynamic digital lumbar and cervical spine images acquired with the assistance of the MOTION NORMALIZER™ patient handling and data collection device, which is designed for use by imaging technicians and intended to assist with patient lumbar and cervical bending and data collection during imaging. KINEGRAPH VMA™ software also facilitates quantitative assessment of vertebral motion in digital medical images. Information about the motion of selected objects, such as bone structures, can be generated and presented in the form of a 'motion analysis' report containing graphics, charts, and text.

The subject device consists of the KINEGRAPH VMA™ software that analyzes images from the MOTION NORMALIZER™ on an Off-the-Shelf ("OTS") imaging workstation. The MOTION NORMALIZER patient handling and data collection device is an accessory device to the KINEGRAPH VMA™ software that is used to assist with subject lumbar bending and data collection while images are captured with a standard fluoroscope. The MOTION NORMALIZER is comprised of two powered, electromechanical patient handling devices connected to and controlled by a console-mounted OTS computer running custom software connected to various OTS hardware accessories. The subject system is able to capture and record radiographic image data, as well as data from the patient handling devices, and to output this data into DICOM compatible digital image files for analysis using the KINEGRAPH VMA™ software. Once images have been created, they can be uploaded to online servers using running KINEGRAPH VMA™ software using an internet connected computer. All software operation and data storage that occurs subsequent to uploading occurs via online servers running KINEGARPH VMA software. Image processing operators, who are Ortho Kinematics, Inc. employees, operate the KINEGRAPH VMA™ software to process images and facilitate template placement for the prescriber. Prescriber users are able to access processed image and measurement results via an online account administered by Ortho Kinematics, Inc. Prescriber users are able to configure account settings that enable the prescriber to be alerted any time specific user-defined measurement thresholds are exceeded.
