Intended Use
Cuptimize is an image-processing software indicated to assist in the positioning of total hip replacement components, with a specific focus on the acetabular component. It is intended to assist in the precise positioning of the acetabular component intra-operatively by measuring its position relative to the bone structures of interest provided that the points of interest can be identified from radiology images. The device allows for overlaying of digital annotations on radiological images and includes tools for performing measurements using the images and digital annotations. Clinical judgment and experience are required to properly use the software. The software is not for primary image interpretation. The software is not for use on mobile phones.
Device Story
Cuptimize is SaMD for hip replacement surgery; assists in acetabular component positioning. Input: preoperative and intraoperative radiographic images. Workflow: user places digital annotations on images; software calculates acetabular component inclination and anteversion. Output: position measurements/calculations. Used in clinical/surgical settings by surgeons/healthcare professionals. Benefits: aids precise component placement via quantitative analysis. Clinical decision-making: provides data to guide intraoperative positioning; requires clinical judgment for final interpretation.
Clinical Evidence
No clinical data. Evidence consists of bench testing and cadaveric laboratory validation. Verification included system/unit testing via automated regression and manual analysis. Validation compared Cuptimize output data to JointPoint predicate data using cadaveric models to assess acetabular component position (inclination and anteversion).
Technological Characteristics
Software as a Medical Device (SaMD). Image-processing software for radiographic analysis. Features digital annotation overlay and measurement tools. Operates on standard computer systems. No specific hardware materials or energy sources; software-based calculation of geometric parameters (inclination/anteversion).
Indications for Use
Indicated for assisting in the positioning of total hip replacement components, specifically the acetabular component, during surgery. Intended for use by healthcare professionals to measure component position relative to bone structures using radiological images. Not for primary image interpretation; not for use on mobile phones.
Regulatory Classification

Dear Ms. McDonough:
We have reviewed your Section 510(k) premarket notification of intent to market the device referenced above and have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to legally marketed predicate devices marketed in interstate commerce prior to May 28, 1976, the enactment date of the Medical Device Amendments, or to devices that have been reclassified in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (Act) that do not require approval of a premarket approval application (PMA). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. Although this letter refers to your product as a device, please be aware that some cleared products may instead be combination products. The 510(k) Premarket Notification Database located at https://www.accessdata.fda.gov/scripts/cdrh/cfdocs/cfpmn/pmn.cfm identifies combination product submissions. The general controls provisions of the Act include requirements for annual registration, listing of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration. Please note: CDRH does not evaluate information related to contract liability warranties. We remind you, however, that device labeling must be truthful and not misleading.
If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to additional controls.

images. This enables the system to calculate inclination and anteversion data that describes the acetabular component position.
## Predicate Devices:
Cuptimize is substantially equivalent to JointPoint (K160284).
## Verification and Validation Testing Summary:
Verification activities included system and unit testing via automated regression testing and manual test procedure analyses. Validation testing was performed to analyze acetabular component position on a cadaver by comparing output data from the Cuptimize system to the output of a predicate device, JointPoint.
## Substantial Equivalence:
Cuptimize and JointPoint are both image-processing software indicated to assist in the positioning of total hip replacement components. The Cuptimize software is focused on a sub-set of the capabilities of the JointPoint system, specifically the acetabular component. Both devices assist in positioning of the acetabular component by measuring the position relative to the bone structures of interest provided that the points of interest can be identified from radiology images.
Testing performed on this device demonstrates that Cuptimize is substantially equivalent to the predicate device. Performance testing of the Cuptimize system included reproducible verification and validation scripts using known measurements to establish data against a measured control. Additionally, anteversion and inclination data was compared against analysis from the JointPoint predicate device (510k clearance "K160284"). Finally, a cadaveric laboratory was performed to gather data to validate the system's intended use and to perform sensitivity testing.
