Intended Use

The ExactechGPS is intended for use during preoperative planning and during orthopedic surgery to aid the surgeon in locating anatomical structures and aligning the endoprosthesis with the anatomical structures, provided that the required anatomical landmarks can be identified on the patient's preoperative CT scan. The ExactechGPS Total Shoulder Planning Application is specifically indicated for preoperative planning of Total Shoulder Arthroplasty using the Equinoxe system. The ExactechGPS Total Shoulder Planning Application permits to visualize, measure and reconstruct anatomical structures in order to select and place the glenoid and humeral components. The ExactechGPS Total Shoulder Navigation is specifically indicated for Total Shoulder Arthroplasty using the Equinoxe system to aid the surgeon in locating anatomical structures and aligning the glenoid component with the anatomical structures.

Device Story

ExactechGPS is an image-guided surgical navigation and preoperative planning system for Total Shoulder Arthroplasty. Input consists of patient CT-scan data, which undergoes segmentation to reconstruct 3D bone models. Surgeons use the software in a virtual environment to visualize, measure, and plan the positioning of Equinoxe glenoid and humeral implants. During surgery, the system provides navigation to assist the surgeon in locating anatomical structures and aligning the glenoid component. The device is used in the clinical/surgical setting by orthopedic surgeons. Output includes visual guidance and measurements that inform surgical decision-making regarding implant selection and placement. The system aims to improve the accuracy of component alignment during arthroplasty procedures.

Clinical Evidence

No clinical data provided. Safety and effectiveness are supported by in-house non-clinical software verification and validation testing to ensure design outputs meet specifications and user needs.

Technological Characteristics

Image-guided surgical navigation and planning software. Requires preoperative CT-scan data. Features 3D bone model segmentation and reconstruction. Registration algorithm used for anatomical alignment. No changes to hardware platform or computer language. Software-based system.

Indications for Use

Indicated for patients undergoing Total Shoulder Arthroplasty using the Equinoxe system. Used for preoperative planning and intraoperative navigation to assist surgeons in locating anatomical structures and aligning glenoid and humeral components.

#### Classification: Class II Device Description:

The ExactechGPS Total Shoulder Application proposed in this submission is a modification of the ExactechGPS Total Shoulder Application cleared per 510(k) #K173372.

The ExactechGPS Total Shoulder Application is an Image Guided Surgery, or Navigation, system designed to quide surgeons during the preparation of the glenoid as part of a total shoulder arthroplasty procedure. The ExactechGPS Total Shoulder Application also offers a preoperative planning feature that enables surgeons to plan a surgical intervention by evaluating implant size, type, and positioning using reconstructed patient bone models in a virtual environment. The ExactechGPS Total Shoulder Application requires patient CT-scan data to undergo segmentation prior to being imported into the software, as part of reconstructing the bone model, for both navigation and planning.

In the predicate device, the planning step was only indicated for pre-operative planning of the dlenoid part of the Equinoxe system. This submission proposes the addition of the humeral component. Therefore, the proposed ExactechGPS Total Shoulder Planning Application permits to visualize, measure and reconstruct anatomical structures in order to select and place the glenoid and humeral components.

The proposed ExactechGPS Total Shoulder Planning and Navigation Applications integrate some other modifications compared to the predicate device. These modifications are documented in Letter to Files.

The proposed modifications do not change the ExactechGPS System general intended use, general design features, or basic fundamental scientific technology. No changes to the hardware platform or system accessories are proposed by this submission.

# VI. INDICATIONS FOR USE

The ExactechGPS is intended for use during preoperative planning and during orthopedic surgery to aid the surgeon in locating anatomical structures and aligning the endoprosthesis with the anatomical structures, provided that the required anatomical landmarks can be identified on the patient's preoperative CT scan.

The ExactechGPS Total Shoulder Planning Application is specifically indicated for preoperative planning of Total Shoulder Arthroplasty using the Equinoxe system. The ExactechGPS Total Shoulder Planning Application permits to visualize, measure and reconstruct anatomical structures in order to select and place the glenoid and humeral components.

The ExactechGPS Total Shoulder Navigation is specifically indicated for Total Shoulder Arthroplasty using the Equinoxe system to aid the surgeon in locating anatomical structures and aligning the glenoid component with the anatomical structures.
