Additional predicate device:

- MyKnee® NextAR™ Cutting Blocks, K193559, Medacta International SA ●
- . MyKnee® Pin Positioners, K170106, Medacta International SA

#### IV. Device Description

The NextAR™ TKA Platform is a CT based computer-assisted surgical navigation platform used in total knee replacement surgery and includes the following components:

- Navigation software which displays information to the surgeon in real-time; ●
- Augmented Reality glasses;
- Optical tracking system; ●
- PC based hardware platform; ●
- MyKnee NextAR Cutting Blocks (PSI) an option; ●
- MyKnee NextAR Pin Positioners (PPS) - an option; and
- Reusable surgical instruments for total knee replacement procedures. ●

NextAR™ TKA Platform PSI based is available on the US market via the clearance - K193559.

NextAR™ TKA Platform PSI free is available on the US market via the clearance - K202152.

The system operates on the common principle of stereotaxic technology in which markers are mounted on the bones and an infrared camera is used to monitor the spatial location of the markers. Tracking sensors attached to the bones enable the surgeon to view the position and orientation of bones and instrumentation relative to preoperative data in real-time while performing the surgical procedure. The tracking sensors are provided sterile. In NextAR TKA MyKnee PPS, subject of the submission, the placement of the sensor is performed by the use of reusable metal instrumentation used in the PSI free version (NextARTM TKA Platform, K202152).

The NextAR™ TKA Platform PSI based, PSI free and now NextAR™ TKA MyKnee PPS aid the surgeon in executing the surgical plan by visualizing all the information in real time in a screen monitor. Utilizing the approach NextAR™ TKA Platform PSI based (K193559) the placement of the implants is performed by cutting the bones using MyKnee® NextAR™ Cutting Blocks and, optionally, utilizing the approach NextAR™ TKA Platform PSI free (K202152), the placement of the implants is performed by cutting the bones using navigated reusable surgical instrumentation where the registration of the CT scan of the patient's anatomy is performed by executing the NextAR registration algorithm. Now, NextAR™ TKA MyKnee PPS fuses from both PSI and PSI free method. NextAR PPS helps the surgeon to place the metal fixation for the sensor and the pins to place the standard or micrometric cutting guides to reproduce the preoperative planning.

Same reusable surgical instrumentation (provided non-sterile) guided by the tracking sensors can be used also for recut. Although the position of the implants can be validated to assess the correct

{6}------------------------------------------------

execution of the planning, the surgeon can change the surgical plan intraoperatively by analyzing
the 3D models of the patient, the CT scan, and the 3D geometry of the implants.

The MyKnee® NextAR™ Pin Positioners, manufactured from medical grade nylon, are single use
patient-specific blocks which are designed from patient CT images. They are intended to position
the pins for placement of the standard instruments and for the infrared technology. The blocks are
provided sterile via gamma irradiation or non-sterile.

The surgeon can choose the desired approach, PSI-based (clearance - K193559), PSI-free (clearance
- K202152), or PPS now under submission.

### Comparison of Technological Characteristics VI.

The NextAR™ TKA MyKnee PPS and the predicate NextAR™ TKA Platform PSI Free share the following characteristics:

- principle of operation; ●
- user interface; ●
- power source;
- surgical workflow;
- main system components; with MyKnee NextAR Cutting Blocks; ●
- use of surgical instruments for navigation;
- orientation and positioning of bone resections; and ●
- device accuracy.
- use of active optical tracking system; ●
- computer hardware; and
- pre-operative patient anatomy data acquisition.

The NextARTM TKA Platform PPS and the predicate NextAR™ TKA Platform PSI free are technologically different with respect to:

- registration of sensor position through updated algorithm, intra-operatively. ●
- use of MyKnee NextAR Pin Positioners. ●

The MyKnee® NextAR™ Pin Positioner and the predicate devices (MyKnee® NextAR™ Cutting Blocks and MyKnee® Pin Positioners) share the following characteristics:

- material of construction;
- manufacturing process; ●
- size and dimensions; ●
- sterilization method; and
- packaging.

Only for the Tibial MyKnee® NextAR™ Pin Positioners and the predicate device MyKnee NextAR Cutting Blocks there is a technologically difference with respect to the number of contact point positions only for the Tibial pin positioner that are shared with the predicate device MyKnee® Pin Positioners.

{8}------------------------------------------------

## Discussion

There are minor differences between the subject and predicate devices; these differences are concerning the registration of the position of sensors with respect to the bones through the use of an updated algorithm and the use of MyKnee NextAR Pin Positioner.

They do not raise different questions of safety or effectiveness when compared to the predicate devices. Both navigation systems utilize stereotaxic technologies within the same surgical workflow. Minor differences are addressed by performing in vitro validation/rational.

#### VII. Performance Data

Testing was conducted according to written protocols with acceptance criteria that were based on standards. The following studies were performed in substantial equivalence determination:

- software validation;
- in vitro validation

The following studies were accepted during the submission of the predicate NextAR™ TKA Platform PSI based K193559 and PSI free K202152 and they are unchanged.
