Intended Use
CUVIS-spine is intended for use as an aid for precisely locating anatomical structures and for the spatial positioning and orientation of guide bush to be used by surgeons for navigating compatible surgical instruments in open or percutaneous surgical procedures provided that the required markers and rigid patient anatomy can be identified on O-arm or C-arm.
Device Story
Mobile robotic system for pedicle screw placement; comprises robotic arm, main console, and optional staff console. Inputs: intraoperative 2D/3D images (O-arm/C-arm). Operation: surgeon performs surgical planning on console; system uses optical tracking (infrared camera) to register patient anatomy and track instruments in real-time. Robotic arm provides forced-controlled movement (hand guide function) to position guide bush for instrument trajectory. Output: visual guidance and physical positioning of surgical tools. Used in OR by surgeons. Benefits: precise anatomical localization and instrument orientation during spinal procedures.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing included pose accuracy and repeatability validation. Biocompatibility testing performed per ISO 10993-5 and ISO 10993-10. Electrical safety and EMC tested per ES 60601-1 and IEC 60601-1-2. A cadaveric study was performed to validate robotic-assisted pedicle screw placement.
Technological Characteristics
Mobile robotic system; optical tracking (infrared camera); forced-controlled movement. Materials: patient marker biocompatibility per ISO 10993. Connectivity: console-based. Standards: IEC 60601-1 (safety), IEC 60601-1-2 (EMC), ISO 14971 (risk management), IEC 60601-1-6 (usability).
Indications for Use
Indicated for use as an aid for precisely locating anatomical structures and spatial positioning/orientation of guide bush for navigating surgical instruments in open or percutaneous surgical procedures, provided markers and rigid patient anatomy are identifiable on O-arm or C-arm.
Regulatory Classification
Identification
A stereotaxic instrument is a device consisting of a rigid frame with a calibrated guide mechanism for precisely positioning probes or other devices within a patient's brain, spinal cord, or other part of the nervous system.

#### Dear Do Kim:
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/cdrl/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.

# 5.7. Performance Data
Non-clinical tests: Pose accuracy and Repeatability of the CUVIS-spine were tested and validated. A cadaveric study of the proposed device had been performed for the robotic-assisted pedicle screw placement.
Biocompatibility were tested using following consensus standards:
- Tests for in vitro cytotoxicity were tested and evaluated according to the FDA-recognized consensus standard, ISO 10993-5.
- -Tests for irritation, skin sensitization and intracutaneous reactivity were tested and evaluated according to the FDA-recognized consensus standard, ISO 10993-10.
Electromagnetic compatibility and electrical safety, etc, were tested using following consensus standards:
- Basic safety and essential performance of the CUVIS-spine is tested and evaluated -
{8}------------------------------------------------
according to the FDA-recognized consensus standard, ES 60601-1.
- Effect to the device by electromagnetic disturbances were tested and evaluated according to the FDA-recognized consensus standard IEC 60601-1-2.
- Risk management was recorded by referring to ISO 14971. -
- Usability was documented by referring to IEC 60601-1-6. -
#### 5.8. Substantial Equivalence
CUVIS-spine is not based on a new technology. The predicate device is already available in the US market. There is a slight difference between CUVIS-spine and the predicate device. However, it does not affect the technical, clinical and biological aspects. It can be claimed that CUVIS-spine is substantially equivalent to the predicate device.
### 5.9. Conclusions
On the basis of the information provided in this Summary, CUREXO, INC. believes that CUVIS-spine is substantially equivalent to legally commercialized predicate device for the purposes of this 510 (k) submission.
