# Technological Characteristics
The underlying technology of the OMNIBotics® Knee System is the same as the predicate device TOTAL KNEE SURGETICS Navigation System with iBlock® K090953. The system is based on the same operating principle and control, mechanism to provide the user with the same kind of information and guidance for the same surgery. The main changes with respect to the predicate device concern the modification of the ART software suite for navigation, and the addition of the Active Spacers for tensioning balance of the knee.

In addition to the comparison of the core functionality of the OMNIBotics® Knee System to the TOTAL KNEE SURGETICS Navigation System with iBlock®, new features are provided with the OMNIBotics® Knee System through the use of the Active Spacer. The Active Spacer includes two independently controlled actuators for distraction and two force sensors for sensing loads on the medial and lateral compartments of the knee. The actuators are controlled in position control (to apply a controlled height) and in force control (to apply a controlled force, in Newtons), equivalent to the VERASENSE Knee System (K150372) and the eLibra® Soft Tissue Force Sensor (K132104) respectively.
In summary, the OMNIBotics® Knee System with the Active Spacer is substantially equivalent to the TKS Navigation System when combined with the Versasense and the eLibra® devices in device functionality and intended use, and safety and effectiveness is supported by the testing performed.
# Verification and Validation Documentation
The OMNIBotics® Knee System tests include cadaver testing and verification and validation performance testing to demonstrate no new safety and efficacy issues are raised with this new device. Analyses demonstrate that system accuracy and performance are adequate for the established intended use. In conclusion, the modified OMNIBotics® Knee System is substantially equivalent to the predicate devices.

Below the word "OMNI" is the phrase "PRECISION IN MOBILITY" in smaller, thinner, blue letters. The green circular graphic appears to be an abstract representation of a person.
#### Conclusion:
This performance of the OMNIBotics® Knee System is substantially equivalent to that of the TOTAL KNEE SURGETICS Navigation System with iBlock® (K090953) combined with the Versasense position control and the eLibra® force control. The OMNIBotics® Knee System has been demonstrated to be substantially equivalent to the predicate devices and raises no new concerns related to safety or efficacy.
