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 and/or guiding compatible surgical instruments in open or percutaneous pedicle screw placement provided that the required markers and rigid patient anatomy can be identified on 3D or 2D image.

Device Story

Mobile robotic system comprising robotic arm, main console, and optional staff console; used in surgical settings for pedicle screw placement. Inputs include preoperative/intraoperative 3D CT or 2D fluoroscopic images. System performs patient registration, surgical planning, and real-time tracking of navigated instruments via optical infrared camera. Robotic arm provides force-controlled guidance for instrument positioning (hand-guide function). Surgeon uses system to align guide bush for surgical instruments; output includes real-time display of instrument position relative to anatomy. Benefits include precise anatomical localization and guidance for spinal procedures.

Clinical Evidence

Non-clinical bench testing included pose accuracy and repeatability validation. Clinical evidence consists of a cadaveric study for robotic-assisted pedicle screw placement. Biocompatibility (ISO 10993-5, 10993-10), electrical safety (ES 60601-1), and EMC (IEC 60601-1-2) testing were performed.

Technological Characteristics

Mobile robotic arm with optical infrared tracking system. Materials evaluated per ISO 10993. Connectivity includes network protocols and firewall control. Software is Major level of concern. Force-controlled movement for robotic arm positioning. Compatible with O-arm, C-arm, and CT imaging.

Indications for Use

Indicated for surgeons performing open or percutaneous pedicle screw placement in patients where rigid anatomy and markers are identifiable on 3D or 2D imaging.

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.

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 - {10}------------------------------------------------ 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 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. - Software validation and verification testing was performed in accordance with the FDA Guidance for the Content of Premarket Submissions for Software Contained in Medical Devices (May 11, 2005). The software for this device is considered a "MAJOR" level of concern. Cybersecurity was verified Cybersecurity control and management as recommended in FDA. {11}------------------------------------------------ ## 5.8. Substantial Equivalence CUVIS-spine, a proposed device, is equivalent to CUVIS-spine(K201569) as a whole, and some characteristics are equivalent to Excelsius GPSTM(K171651). CUVIS-spine is not based on a new technology. The differences between CUVIS-spine and the predicate device would not affect the safety, effectiveness, and essential performance. Thus, subject device CUVIS-spine is concluded to be 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 devices for the purposes of this 510 (k) submission.
