Intended Use
The Mako System is intended to assist the surgeon in providing software defined spatial boundaries for orientation and reference information to anatomical structures during orthopedic procedures. The Mako System 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 implant systems compatible with this system: - Triathlon Total Knee System (CR/CS/PS cemented Primary) - Kinetis Total Knee System (CR/UC)
Device Story
Mako System is a stereotactic instrument for orthopedic surgery; includes robotic arm, optical detector, computer, and planning software. Inputs: patient CT data. Operation: surgeon uses CT-based model for pre-surgical planning and intraoperative navigation; robotic arm acts as intelligent tool guide, providing passive haptic constraints via software-defined spatial boundaries. Used in OR by surgeons. Output: visual navigation and physical tool guidance. Benefits: assists in precise implant placement and anatomical preparation. Modification in K170581: addition of eRequest LifeCycle, an online portal for case management and file transfer during preoperative planning.
Clinical Evidence
No clinical data. Performance testing consisted of bench-level product specification verification and simulated-use validation of the eRequest LifeCycle preoperative planning workflow. All tests passed.
Technological Characteristics
Stereotactic robotic system; includes robotic arm, optical camera stand, cutting system, and planning laptop. Uses patient CT data for navigation. Software-defined spatial boundaries provide passive haptic constraints. Connectivity includes an online portal (eRequest LifeCycle) for case management and file transfer.
Indications for Use
Indicated for patients undergoing surgical knee procedures, specifically Total Knee Arthroplasty (TKA), where stereotactic surgery is appropriate and rigid anatomical bony structures can be registered to a CT-based model.
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.

## Substantial Equivalence Claimed To:
The Mako Total Knee Application is substantially equivalent to the Mako Total Knee Application cleared via K143752.
Device Modification: An alternate online portal for case management and file transfer known as eRequest LifeCycle is being implemented for use during the preoperative planning workflow of the Mako Total Knee application.
## Description:
The Mako System with the Total Knee Application is a stereotactic instrument that includes a robotic arm, an integrated cutting system, an optical detector, a computer, dedicated instrumentation, operating software, a planning laptop, and tools and accessories.
{4}------------------------------------------------
The system's architecture is designed to support total and partial knee procedures and total hip procedures. With application specific hardware and software, the system provides stereotactic guidance during orthopedic surgical procedures by using patient CT data to assist a surgeon with pre-surgical planning, implant placement and interpretive/intraoperative navigation of the patient's anatomy.
The Mako robotic arm, once configured for a specific application, can serve as surgeon's "intelligent" tool holder or tool guide by passively constraining the preparation of an anatomical site for an orthopedic implant with software-defined spatial boundaries.

## Conclusions of Performance Testing:
Performance testing has demonstrated that the characteristics of the Mako Total Knee Application are equivalent to the predicate device, and that the device is as safe and as effective as the predicate device and does not raise different questions of safety and effectiveness, and therefore, supports a determination of Substantial Equivalence.
