Intended Use

The TSolution One® Total Knee Application is intended for use as a device that uses diagnostic images of the patient acquired specifically to assist the physician with preoperative planning and to provide orientation and reference information during intraoperative procedures. The robotic surgical tool, under the direction of the surgeon, precisely implements the presurgical software plan. The preoperative planning software and robotic surgical tool are used as an alternative to manual planning and resecting techniques for the distal femur and proximal tibia preparation in primary total knee arthroplasty (TKA). The TSolution One Total Knee Application is indicated for orthopedic procedures in which resecting techniques used for the distal femur and proximal tibia may be considered to be safe and where references to rigid anatomical structures may be made. The TSolution One® Total Knee Application 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® Total Knee Application facilitates accurate positioning of TKA implants, relative to these alignment axes. The TSolution One® Total Knee Application is compatible with the Zimmer Persona™ Knee System.

Device Story

System comprises TPLAN (3D preoperative planning workstation) and TCAT (robotic surgical tool). Surgeon uses TPLAN to create 3D bone models from patient CT scans and plan implant positioning. TCAT, an electromechanical arm, implements the plan by performing submillimeter precision bone preparation. Used in clinical settings by surgeons. Registration uses pinless point-to-surface technique with percutaneous probes. System provides orientation/reference information during surgery, facilitating accurate implant positioning relative to alignment axes. Benefits include improved alignment accuracy compared to manual techniques, potentially reducing malalignment rates.

Clinical Evidence

Multi-center, prospective, non-randomized clinical trial (n=115). Primary safety endpoint: composite of seven Knee Society adverse events; 0% incidence observed. Primary effectiveness endpoint: coronal mechanical axis alignment within ±3° of plan. Study achieved 13.0% malalignment rate (ITT), representing a 59.2% reduction compared to 32% historical manual TKA control (p-value/probability 0.958). Secondary outcomes (radiographic, KSS, SF-12) showed positive results comparable to literature.

Technological Characteristics

System includes TPLAN workstation and TCAT electromechanical arm. Uses CT-based 3D modeling for preoperative planning. Registration via pinless point-to-surface mechanical tracking. Connectivity includes keyboard, mouse, and pendant control with mechanical stop. Software performs robotic path control based on pre-surgical plan. Biocompatibility and electrical safety (IEC standards) verified.

Indications for Use

Indicated for orthopedic procedures requiring distal femur and proximal tibia resection in primary total knee arthroplasty (TKA) where references to rigid anatomical structures are possible.

Enrolled subjects had a confirmed Kellgren-Lawrence Grade of 3 or higher, had not undergone previous open knee surgery in the operative knee, and did not have a coronal deformity greater than 20 degrees, or a sagittal flexion contracture greater than 15 degrees. The study was carried out at six investigational sites in the US with eight clinical investigators. A total of 115 patients were enrolled in the study and constitute the intent to treat group. Subject age ranged from 43.0 to 85.0 years old, with a mean age of {7}------------------------------------------------ Image /page/7/Picture/1 description: The image shows the logo for Think Surgical.

The mean BMI for subjects was 30.71. Subjects were 50.4% male and 49.6% female and the majority of patients had never smoked (72.2%). The most common comorbidity was cardiovascular conditions (71.2%), followed by musculoskeletal conditions (41.3%). Eleven subjects did not have any comorbidities and none of the comorbidities constituted an exclusion criteria or contraindication for surgery. The primary endpoints include components that address safety and effectiveness. The primary safety endpoint was a composite safety endpoint that includes seven relevant adverse events that were defined and published by the Knee Society, each having an expected incidence ≤2.7%. The sum of these relatively rare complications is equal to 7.6%. The percentage of patients with TCAT-assisted implantation using the TSolution One Total Knee Application experiencing the composite safety event was compared to 7.6%. None of the seven adverse events identified were observed in the study. A total of 115 out of 115 patients (100%) successfully completed the primary safety endpoint. The primary effectiveness endpoint was alignment of coronal mechanical axis at 3 months defined as achieving varus-valgus alignment after TKA that is less than ±3° from the preoperative plan in the frontal plane. A review of 1,376 patients undergoing conventional TKA with manual instrumentation showed a 32% malalignment rate for neutral mechanical axis deviation greater than 3°. The study was designed to demonstrate that the investigational device is capable of reducing the malalignment rate by 50%, i.e. to 16%. With respect to the primary effectiveness endpoint, all 115 patients were evaluated at 3 months. The study population saw a low malalignment rate of 13.0% (15 out of 115 ITT patients) and 11.2% (12 out of 107 PP patients) which equates to a reduction of 59.2% (ITT) and 65.0% (PP) compare to 32% malalignment rate reported in literature. The study does provide significant data to demonstrate with a high probability (0.958) that the TSolution One Total Knee Application achieved a 37.2% (ITT) and a 43.1% (PP) reduction in the malalignment rate. The overall effectiveness results for the data presented demonstrate that the robotic-assisted TKA with TSolution One Total Knee Application is an effective treatment and helped to substantially reduce the overall malalignment rates in comparison to manual TKA. Subsequent and supportive endpoints further demonstrate the effectiveness of the TSolution One Total Knee Application. The secondary radiographic outcomes (TJLA, FJLA, Tibial Slope) showed an ability of the system to match the pre-op plan. The KSS and SF-12 components showed a positive and comparable outcome in comparison to other TKA performed in the literature. A review of adverse events further supported the safety of the device. There were 34 adverse events that were considered possibly, probably, or definitely related to the device or procedure. The most commonly occurring of these were: Pain. Excessive or Unexpected (6 subjects), Edema, Excessive or Unexpected (5 subjects), Fall (4 subjects) and Rash and Stiffness of the Joint (3 subjects each). There was a case in which two recovery markers (tacks) were left in the subject. However, the event did not require surgery and the patient showed good clinical outcomes out to 12 months. There were only five device related adverse events. Of those five, three were SAEs. These same three SAEs were also reported as Device or Procedure Related SAEs. All three {8}------------------------------------------------ Image /page/8/Picture/1 description: The image shows the logo for Think Surgical.

There were no serious adverse events (0%) classified as definitely related to the device. No subject required a surgical intervention related to the TKA. In conclusion, the data from this clinical trial demonstrate that the TSolution One Total Knee Application in comparison to conventional manual surgical TKA has a positive riskbenefit profile and is both safe and effective for use in a TKA patient population. ### Conclusion The TSolution One® Total Knee Application is equivalent to the predicate, TSolution One Surgical System Model 210 in the following ways: it has the same intended use, the same technological characteristics and operating principles, incorporates the same basic design and incorporates the same or similar materials. The results of performance testing demonstrate that the TSolution One® Total Knee Application performed substantially equivalent to the predicate and did not raise any new questions of safety and effectiveness. Clinical data further supports the safety and effectiveness of the TSolution One® Total Knee Application and demonstrated a positive risk/benefit for the indication for use in total knee arthroplasty. The data presented supports a determination of Substantial Equivalence.
