Templating is done without alteration of the original image, using scaling and measurement tools in a digital environment, in conjunction with {4}------------------------------------------------ manufacturers' templates available via the ArthroPlan library of digital templates for prosthetic and fixation devices. ## Device Description ArthroPlan™ is software designed and developed for preoperative planning, a.k.a. digital templating, for orthopedic operations. It includes tools for performing common measurements and drawings in combination with orthopedic implant manufacturer's electronic templates (provided in the ArthroPlan Template Library, which is part of the software). The measurements and scaling tools enable the user performing preoperative planning for orthopedic procedures. - The software allows the user to capture the radiographic image, import it to the software, accurately scale the degree of maqnification of the image, and overlay and manipulated (size, angle, rotate, invert, etc.) the desired electronic template(s) on the image facilitating the election of the appropriate size of prosthetic/fixing. ## Technological Characteristics The ArthroPlan is software that can be downloaded from Arthromeda's website via the Internet, installed on a personal computer, laptop, or workstation and unlocked using an Arthromeda, Inc. provided key. The key is single use, permitting only one installation of the software on one personal computer, laptop, or workstation and preventing any unauthorized use of the software. The device consists of a standalone Microsoft Windows compatible software installed on a personal computer, laptop, or workstation. - Access to the software is controlled through existing security measures on the computer, laptop, or workstation. Radiographic images are captured from normal viewing programs (such as PACS) available to the user and copied into the software for processing off-line. ArthroPlan does not provide access to these viewing programs. Patient confidentiality and patient identification is determined by the user on the off-line saved file. Image integrity is maintained during processing. ArthroPlan Software imports images at a 1 to 1 ratio using the bitmap format. During the saving of images, there is a potential loss of data. Saving of images using the APL or BMP format are recommended. Any other format potentially causes loss of data. The captured, imported, and saved image may be retrieved and processed with the following functionality: - י Scaling of the radiographic image based on known size image marker within software program (original image is not altered) - -Selection of desired prosthetic and fixing device manufacturer, model, and size template for overlay and manipulation on image - -Overlay and manipulation (size, angle, rotate, inverting, etc.) of the selected electronic template on the image {5}------------------------------------------------ - Combine compatible prosthetic/fixing implant templates from different manufacturers - -Display, print, and archive reports (final images with template overlay including manufacturer name, model, size, measurements, etc.) - Receive and store templates for prosthesis and fixation supplied by -Arthromeda, Inc. for particular manufacturers' ranges of products - -Provide traceability of operator, date, and decision made ## Performance Data Performance testing including a non-clinical user validation was conducted on the ArthroPlan software. Testing was conducted in compliance to the applicable guidances and standards including: | FDA Guidance (January<br>11, 2002) | General Principles of Software Validation; Final Guidance for Industry and FDA<br>Staff | |------------------------------------|------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| | FDA Guidance<br>(May 11, 2005) | Guidance for the Content of Premarket Submissions for Software Contained in<br>Medical Devices | | ISO 62304 | Medical Device Software - Software life cycle processes | | ISO 62366 | Medical Devices -Application of usability engineering to medical devices. | | IEC/ISO 10918-1 | Digital compression and coding of continuous-tone still images: Compliance<br>testing | | NEMA PS 3.1 - 3.20 | Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine (DICOM) Set | | ANSI/AAMI HE75 | Human Factors engineering - Design of medical devices | # Table 1: Applicable Standards and Guidances In all instances, the ArthroPlan functioned as intended and all results of the user and software validations observed was as expected. Risk analysis indicates that ArthroPlan is identical to the predicate devices in the patient environment. ArthroPlan uses similar materials and constructional principles to the predicate device. ArthroPlan processes data in the form of images collected (captured) in the patient environment after the event of actual collection. This non-patient contact processing is described exactly in terms of its software functions and associated templates. For these reasons the non-clinical user validation conducted is sufficient to verify the functionality of the ArthroPlan. {6}------------------------------------------------ Performance testing of the ArthroPlan Digital Templating Software indicates that it meets is specifications and performs as intended. I In particular, the following functions have been tested and confirmed as operating according to specified requirements and being substantially equivalent to the predicates: - -Patient and procedure selection - -Image collection (capture) and scaling - -Procedure planning - Templating - - -Committing and saving operating session data - -Compilation and printing of associated reports ## Substantial Equivalence The ArthroPlan Digital Templating Software is as safe and effective as the Meridian Technique. Ltd., Orthoview™ (K063327) and Agfa Healthcare Corporation Orthopedic Software For IMPAX Workstations (K071972) predicate devices. The ArthroPlan has the intended uses and similar indications, technological characteristics, and principles of operation as its predicate device. The minor technological differences between the ArthroPlan and its predicate devices raise no new issues of safety or effectiveness. Performance data demonstrate that the ArthroPlan software is as safe and effective as above cited predicates. Thus, the ArthroPlan is substantially equivalent. | Comparison of Technological Characteristics | | | |-------------------------------------------------|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|-------------------| | Characteristic | ArthroPlan | Predicate Devices | | Device Type | Standalone Software for Digital Templating | Same | | Computer Environment | Personal Computer, laptop, workstation/server | Same | | Clinical Use Case | Used for planning orthopedic procedures using templates in the areas of prosthetic placement. | Same | | Principle of Operation | On captured radiographic image, the user identifies physiological landmarks and software calculates commonly used measurements based on those landmarks.
