Indications for Use
The mediCAD classic V3.0 is a medical stand-alone software, which allows professional orthopedics preoperative measurements of existing x-rays. The software is intended to read in diagnostic images (e.g. digitized x-rays) from PACS-systems or conventional medias and to dimension them. An integrated database of orthopedic implant geometries can be overlayed to aid surgeons in their planning of orthopedic surgeries. mediCAD classic 3.0 can hand over the digital plannings as DICOMs to PACS-systems. Federal law restricts this device to sale by or on the order of a health professional. mediCAD will also support the proper workflow necessary to effectively compare pre and post-operative radiograph studies for a unique understanding of the patient's surgical outcome. Intearating this workflow with the orthopedic surgeons existing workflow and combining it with the data produced from the patient physical exam, provides a comprehensive data set for the continued prescription of a patient's relevant treatment and therapy. The system is designed for the following medical specialties: Orthopedics . Surgery and Traumatology . Rheumatology t . Pediatric Orthopedics MediCAD is designed for pre-operative planning for the following applications: Hip Manual Planning . Hip Automatic Planning t Hip Biometry . . Hip - Coxometrv . . Hip - Wear Measurement . . Hip - FAI Knee Prosthetic Planning . Biometry Planning takes into account patient motion and metrics . Coxometry tracking of known measurement values in pediatrics to . determine surqical intervention . Osteotomy - determines optimum osteotomy locations .

Device Story
Standalone software for orthopedic preoperative planning; inputs diagnostic images (digitized x-rays) from PACS or conventional media; overlays orthopedic implant geometries from integrated database onto images; enables manual and automatic measurements (biometry, coxometry, wear, FAI, osteotomy planning); outputs digital plans as DICOM files to PACS. Used by orthopedic surgeons, traumatologists, and rheumatologists in clinical settings. Supports workflow for comparing pre- and post-operative radiographs to assess surgical outcomes; integrates with physical exam data to assist in treatment/therapy prescription. Benefits include improved prosthesis selection, accurate implant placement, and minimized intraoperative complications through detailed presurgical planning.
Clinical Evidence
No clinical trials performed. Verification testing conducted by manufacturer to ensure requirement specifications met. Validation testing performed by health professionals in clinical environments to confirm performance, measurement, and usability requirements.
Technological Characteristics
Standalone software; runs on Microsoft Windows; DICOM V3.0 compliant; utilizes integrated orthopedic implant geometry database; scaling technology for image dimensioning. Conforms to ISO/IEC 90003:2004, ISO 14971:2007/2012, and ISO 13485:2003/2010.
Indications for Use
Indicated for orthopedic, surgical, traumatology, rheumatology, and pediatric orthopedic patients requiring preoperative planning, measurement, and implant selection based on diagnostic x-ray images.
Regulatory Classification
Identification
A medical image management and processing system is a device that provides one or more capabilities relating to the review and digital processing of medical images for the purposes of interpretation by a trained practitioner of disease detection, diagnosis, or patient management. The software components may provide advanced or complex image processing functions for image manipulation, enhancement, or quantification that are intended for use in the interpretation and analysis of medical images. Advanced image manipulation functions may include image segmentation, multimodality image registration, or 3D visualization. Complex quantitative functions may include semi-automated measurements or time-series measurements.
