Intended Use
The RIWOtrack Navigation System is intended to continuously display the position and orientation of RIWOspine surgical instruments relative to the anatomy in medical image data in either open or minimal invasive orthopedic procedures. The use is indicated for any medical condition in which the use of stereotactic surgery may be appropriate, and where reference to a rigid anatomical structure, such as the spine or pelvis, can be identified relative to images of the anatomy. This can include spinal procedures, where the target point for the procedure itself or for the access to the area of interest, is a rigid landmark, such as: • Transforaminal procedure • Interlaminar procedure
Device Story
RIWOtrack Navigation System is an image-guided surgery system for orthopedic procedures. It uses electromagnetic (EM) tracking to monitor the position and orientation of RIWOspine surgical instruments. The system consists of an EM field generator (navigation sensor), patient localizer, and instrument-mounted sensors. During surgery, the system performs image-to-patient registration by autodetection of X-ray markers on a 'MapperBridge' device within intraoperative fluoroscopy images (AP and LAT). The system processes these inputs to superimpose the real-time instrument position onto the medical image data. Navigation information updates at 15-45 Hz. Used in OR settings by surgeons to guide access to anatomical targets (e.g., transforaminal or interlaminar procedures). The output provides visual feedback on a display, assisting the surgeon in instrument placement, potentially increasing accuracy and reducing procedural risks.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. Evidence includes electrical safety (IEC 60601-1), electromagnetic compliance (IEC 60601-1-2), accuracy bench testing for instrument probes and localizers, software verification/validation, cleaning/sterilization validation, and biocompatibility testing. System accuracy demonstrated mean position error < 2mm and angular error < 2º.
Technological Characteristics
Electromagnetic tracking system; NDI Aurora navigation sensor mounted on articulating metal arm; Intel-based PC; X-ray (fluoroscopy) image modality; 15-45 Hz update rate. Components include MapperBridge for registration. Software-based navigation. Sterilization and biocompatibility validated for patient-contacting components.
Indications for Use
Indicated for patients undergoing open or minimally invasive orthopedic procedures, specifically spinal or pelvic surgeries, where stereotactic navigation is appropriate and rigid anatomical landmarks can be identified for registration.
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.

# 4. Device Description
The RIWOtrack Navigation System is an image guided surgery system, visualizing instrument positions on intraoperative fluoroscopy images (AP and LAT) utilizing electromagnetic tracking technology. The positions of the instrument and of the patient localizer, both equipped with sensors, are localized within an electromagnetic field, generated
{4}------------------------------------------------
by a field generator, called navigation sensor. The principle of navigation is based on electromagnetic spatial measuring of localizer element in a generated electromagnetic field. The display of navigation information requires an image-to-patient registration procedure. During registration procedure, the Navigation System determines the coordinate transformation between the physical position of the patient and the position of the patient in intraoperative scans by means of autodetection of x-ray marker of a device called MapperBridge. Thereafter, the spatial position of the instrument is displayed superimposed to the image data. The navigation information is updated with a rate of 15 to 45 Hz.
