Intended Use
The TSolution One™ w/ACG+ Surgical System is intended for use as a device that uses diagnostic images of the patient acquired specifically to assist the physicial planning and to provide orientation and reference information during intraoperative procedures. The robotic surgical tool, under the surgeon, precisely implements the presurgical software plan. The preoperative planning software and robotic surgical tool is used as an alternative to manual planning and broaching/ reaming/impacting techniques for femoral canal and acetabular cup preparation in primary cementless total hip arthroplasty (THA) using a posterior approach. The TSolution One w/ACG+ Surgical System is indicated for orthopedic procedures in which the broaching, reaming and impacting techniques used in primary cementless total hip arthroplasty (THA) using a posterior approach may be considered to be safe and effective and where references to rigid anatomical structures may be made. The TSolution One™ w/ACG+ Surgical System is also intended to assist the surgeon in determining reference alignment axes in relation to anatomical and instrumentation structures during stereotactic orthopedic surgical procedures. The TSolution One™ w/ACG+ Surgical System facilitates accurate positioning of THA implants, relative to these alignment axes.
Device Story
System comprises TPLAN preoperative planning workstation and TCAT robotic system; TCAT includes electromechanical arm, control electronics, computer, monitor, and surgical accessories (cutters, drapes, probes, markers). Input: patient CT scan data. Operation: surgeon uses TPLAN to create 3D preoperative plan; TCAT robotic arm executes plan by precisely preparing femoral canal and acetabular cup. Used in clinical settings by surgeons to replace manual broaching/reaming/impacting. Output: robotic-assisted bone preparation and implant positioning. Benefits: increased precision in THA implant placement relative to anatomical alignment axes.
Clinical Evidence
No clinical data. Evidence based on non-clinical performance testing including software verification, usability testing, benchtop accuracy testing, and cadaveric validation in a simulated use environment. All tests passed.
Technological Characteristics
System includes TPLAN workstation and TCAT robotic arm. Features electromechanical arm, control electronics, and computer. Connectivity involves patient CT scan input. Software-driven robotic implementation of preoperative plans. Includes various surgical accessories (cutters, probes, markers).
Indications for Use
Indicated for patients requiring primary cementless total hip arthroplasty (THA) using a posterior approach where manual broaching, reaming, and impacting techniques are appropriate. Used for orthopedic procedures requiring reference to rigid anatomical structures and stereotactic alignment for implant positioning.
Regulatory Classification
Identification
A stereotaxic instrument is a device consisting of a rigid frame with a calibrated guide mechanism for precisely positioning probes or other devices within a patient's brain, spinal cord, or other part of the nervous system.
