Intended Use
The UNiD Spine Analyzer is intended for assisting healthcare professionals in viewing and measuring images as well as planning orthopedic surgeries. The device allows surgeons and service providers to perform generic as well as spine related measurements on images, and to plan surgical procedures. The device also includes tools for measuring anatomical components for placement of surgical implants. Clinical judgment and experience are required to properly use the software.
Device Story
UNiD Spine Analyzer is a software tool for orthopedic surgical planning. It processes medical images to allow surgeons and service providers to perform generic and spine-specific anatomical measurements. The device includes a database of MEDICREA INTERNATIONAL implants (cages, screws, rods) and supports the design of custom-made patient-specific implants. Operated by clinicians in a clinical setting, the software requires human intervention for image interpretation and manipulation. The output assists in pre-operative planning and surgical implant placement. By providing tools for measurement and implant visualization, the device supports clinical decision-making for surgical procedures. The current update adds a database component for implant selection.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. Software verification and validation were performed in accordance with FDA guidance for software contained in medical devices. No clinical data was required or provided.
Technological Characteristics
PC-compatible software running on Windows and Mac operating systems. Operates on a server. Features include osteotomy module, generic/spine measurement tools, pre-operative planning, and an implant database. Requires human intervention for image interpretation and manipulation. Software level of concern: moderate.
Indications for Use
Indicated for healthcare professionals, including surgeons, to assist in viewing/measuring images and planning orthopedic surgeries, specifically for spine-related procedures and surgical implant placement.
Regulatory Classification
Identification
A medical image management and processing system is a device that provides one or more capabilities relating to the review and digital processing of medical images for the purposes of interpretation by a trained practitioner of disease detection, diagnosis, or patient management. The software components may provide advanced or complex image processing functions for image manipulation, enhancement, or quantification that are intended for use in the interpretation and analysis of medical images. Advanced image manipulation functions may include image segmentation, multimodality image registration, or 3D visualization. Complex quantitative functions may include semi-automated measurements or time-series measurements.

- SURGIMAP 2.0 (NEMARIS INC, K141669) (reference device) .
#### 4. Description of the new device
The purpose of this submission is to update the UNiD Spine Analyzer with the addition of a new software feature: "Data base of implants". This component will allow a user to draw implants (cages, screws and rods) taken from a range of MEDICREA INTERNATIONAL implants, previously cleared in K08009, K083810, K163595, in addition to the design of custom-made implants specific to a unique patient. A catalog of these implants is provided in this submission.
#### 5. Indication for Use
The UNiD Spine Analyzer is intended for assisting healthcare professionals in viewing and measuring images as well as planning orthopedic surgeries. The device allows surgeons and service providers to perform generic, as well as spine related measurements on images, and to plan surgical procedures. The device also includes tools for measuring anatomical components for placement of surgical implants. Clinical judgment and experience are required to properly use the software.

# 6. Substantial equivalence claimed to predicate devices
The table below compares the features and technological characteristics of the cleared UNiD Spine Analyzer to the version with the updated software feature, as well as the reference Surgimap 2.0 device.

# Table 1: Substantial Equivalence Comparison
## 7. Non-clinical test summary
Performance data for the modified UNiD Spine Analyzer consisted of verification and validation activities. Software verification and validation testing was conducted, and documentation was provided as recommended by FDA's guidance for Industry and FDA Staff, "Guidance for the Content of Premarket Submissions for Software Contained on Medical Devices". The addition of the database of implants creates additional tools which were also tested, and documentation was provided. The software for this device was considered to be of moderate level of concern.
{5}------------------------------------------------
# 8. Conclusion
The addition of this new component (i.e., data base of cleared implants) to the UNiD Spine Analyzer does not raise new issues of safety or effectiveness compared to the previously cleared version of the UNiD Spine Analyzer. It is thus substantially equivalent to the company's own legally marketed predicate device.
