Intended Use
The Robotic Arm Interactive Orthopedic System (RIO®) is intended to assist the surgeon in providing software defined spatial boundaries for orientation and reference information to anatomical structures during orthopedic procedures. The RIO® is indicated for use in surgical knee procedures in which the use of stereotactic surgery may be appropriate, and where reference to rigid anatomical bony structures can be identified relative to a CT based model of the anatomy. These procedures include: • Total Knee Arthroplasty (TKA) The Implants systems with which the system is compatible: • Kinetis Total Knee System (CR/UC) • Triathlon Total Knee System (CR/CS/PS cemented Primary)
Device Story
RIO is a stereotactic instrument system comprising a robotic arm, optical detector, computer, planning laptop, and dedicated instrumentation. It utilizes patient CT data for pre-surgical implant planning and intraoperative tracking of the femur and tibia. During orthopedic surgery, the robotic arm acts as an intelligent tool guide, providing stereotactic guidance by passively constraining tool movement within software-defined spatial boundaries. The system is operated by a surgeon in an OR setting. By providing real-time navigation and haptic constraints based on the pre-operative plan, the device assists the surgeon in achieving accurate implant placement and bone resection, potentially improving clinical outcomes and limb alignment compared to manual instrumentation.
Clinical Evidence
Prospective, non-randomized, multi-center study (N=89 implanted subjects). Primary endpoint: safety (incidence of device-related adverse events) compared to manual TKA literature; 0/89 subjects experienced primary composite safety events. Secondary endpoint: post-operative limb alignment; mean deviation from plan was 1.53° (± 1.05°) and 1.56° (± 1.04°) by two independent reviewers. Supporting endpoint: WOMAC score improvement; mean reduction of 29.6 points at 3 months. One UADE (retained foreign body) and three possibly related AEs reported. Results demonstrate non-inferiority to manual TKA.
Technological Characteristics
Stereotactic instrument system. Components: robotic arm, optical detector, computer, planning laptop, dedicated instrumentation. Sensing: optical tracking of rigid bony structures. Imaging: CT-based.

## Clinical Data:
The Robotic Arm Interactive Orthopedic System (RIO) Total Knee Arthroplasty (TKA) study was a prospective, non-randomized, multi-center study conducted at three sites in the US. The purpose of the RIO TKA IDE study was to demonstrate safety and effectiveness of the RIO system in total knee arthroplasty at 3 months. A total of 100 subjects were consented and enrolled. A total of 89 subjects were implanted using the RIO System and all have successfully completed pre-operative, intra-operative, and 3 month post-operative visits.
There were 49 female (55.1%) subjects and 40 (44.9%) male subjects. Refer to table below for age, height and weight distribution for this population
{6}------------------------------------------------
| Label | N | Mean | Std Dev | Median | Lower Quartile | Upper Quartile | Minimum | Maximum |
|-------------|----|--------|---------|--------|----------------|----------------|---------|---------|
| Age | 89 | 65.78 | 8.49 | 65.00 | 60.00 | 72.00 | 45.00 | 83.00 |
| Height (in) | 89 | 67.34 | 3.84 | 67.00 | 65.00 | 70.00 | 60.00 | 75.00 |
| Weight (lb) | 89 | 202.61 | 38.96 | 197.00 | 175.00 | 226.00 | 122.00 | 318.00 |
| BMI | 89 | 31.43 | 5.70 | 31.07 | 27.45 | 33.78 | 21.61 | 52.90 |
The primary study endpoint was to demonstrate the safety of the RIO Total Knee Arthroplasty Application based on surgeon assessment of complications intra-operatively and at a short term follow up. The safety analysis focused on the complications identified by the Knee Society TKA Complications Workgroup in 2012 for total knee arthroplasty. A review of the literature was performed to identify currently published occurrence rates in manually instrumented TKA for each standardized TKA complication. The analysis of the safety profile was designed to provide clinical data necessary to test the hypothesis that there is no clinically significant increase in the incidence of selected device-related adverse events when using the investigational device relative to manual TKA. No subject experienced any of the rare adverse events that comprise the primary composite safety events (0/89). Therefore, the study meets its primary safety study success criterion.
The secondary endpoint was post-operative radiographic limb alignment of the operative knee assessed at the 3 month post-operative by two independent reviewers. The measured post-operative limb alignment was compared to the derived subject-specific value for the intended limb alignment established prior to bone resection. Two subjects were excluded from the assessment due to issues with the methods of collecting the images used to make the assessment. Excluding these two subjects, independent surgeon reviewer one measured an estimated mean limb alignment deviation from plan of 1.53° (± 1.05°) and independent surgeon reviewer two measured an estimated mean limb alignment deviation from plan of 1.56° (± 1.04°).
In addition to reporting accuracy in achieving post-operative limb alignment, malalignment was defined as a radiographically determined alignment angular deformity in the coronal plane greater than 10° from the mechanical axis. Alignment was assessed in descriptive analysis as a categorical variable using the categories appearing in the Knee Society Score, Doctor Portion. These categories are 0-4°, 5-10°, 11-15°, and Other, however, these ranges do not account for the surgeon's subject-specific intended postoperative limb alignment. Forty (40) of 89 subjects (44.9%) reported post-operative KSS limb alignment of 0-4°, which is associated with a 3-point deduction in KSS score per degree, while 49/89 (55.1%) reported KSS limb alignment of 5-10° which received no deduction according to the Knee Society Score. No subject reported malalignment as defined above.
The supporting study endpoint was to demonstrate improvement in post-operative subject function at the three month interval as compared to the subject's pre-operative function as measured by the WOMAC. In order to meet the study success criterion, a reduction in the WOMAC score from pre-op to 3 months was necessary. Subjects exhibited a mean 29.6 points reduction, indicating improvement over pre-operative score.
{7}------------------------------------------------
There were 33 reported Adverse Events (AEs) occurring in 32 of the study subjects. Study investigators classified relatedness of all AEs as definitely related, possibly related, or not related to the study system or procedure. There was 1 (1/33, 3.0%) AE that was considered related to the system or procedure. The AE was for an Unanticipated Adverse Device Effect (UADE) for retained foreign body (saw tooth). There were 3 (3/33, 9.1%) that were considered possibly related to the device. The SAEs possibly related to the device included: UADEs was for retained foreign body (saw tooth) (1) and swelling and pain (2). There were a total of 9 (9/33, 27.2%) reported serious AEs (SAEs) that were not related to the device or procedure. These included (8) manipulation under anesthesia (MUA) and (1) pulmonary embolism.
A second surgery was required for two subjects to remove a retained foreign body. For one of the subjects, a revision of the tibial insert was required to locate the foreign body and irrigate the joint space.
The safety and effectiveness of the Robot Arm Interactive Orthopaedic System (RIO®) used for Total Knee Replacement (TKR) has been demonstrated. No subject experienced any rare adverse events that comprised the composite safety events. Secondary endpoints of postoperative limb alignment and clinical outcomes scores at three months postoperatively demonstrated non-inferiority to TKR used with manual instruments as reported in the literature.
#### Conclusions of Clinical and Non-Clinical Data:
The results of the clinical and non-clinical data indicate the device performed within the intended use and did not raise any new safety and efficacy issues. The device was found to be substantially equivalent to the predicate device.
