Benefits: allows surgeon to view patient and navigation data simultaneously, enhancing precision and workflow. Modifications include Patient Marker Extender to prevent marker occlusion by C-ARM, GUI enhancements, and cybersecurity updates.

Clinical Evidence

Bench testing only. Verification and validation activities included Form, Fit, and Function (FFF) testing, CMM measurements, and software validation per FDA guidance. System accuracy (2.0mm mean 3D positional error, 2° mean trajectory error) verified against predicate criteria.

Technological Characteristics

Optical tracking system; 6 DOF tracking; infrared camera; transparent near-eye-display headset. Materials: single-use sterile reflective markers (gamma sterilized), reusable tool adaptors. Connectivity: wireless (5 GHz, 802.11g/n/ac) encrypted link between headset and computer. Software: deep-learning based spine segmentation. Power: Li-ion battery. Form factor: head-mounted display.

Indications for Use

Indicated for medical conditions where stereotactic surgery is appropriate and reference to rigid anatomical structures (spine or pelvis) can be identified relative to patient fluoroscopic or CT imagery. Includes posterior pedicle screw placement (thoracic/sacro-lumbar), posterior screw placement (C3-C7), iliosacral screw placement, angular procedures requiring disc space access, and lateral trajectories for Sacro-Iliac joint access.

Regulatory Classification

The system consists of dedicated software, Headset, single use passive reflective markers and reusable components. It uses wireless optical tracking technology and displays to the surgeon the location of the tracked surgical instruments relative to the acquired patient's scan, onto the surgical field. The 2D scanned data and 3D reconstructed model, along with tracking information, are projected to the surgeons' retina using a transparent near-eye-display Headset, allowing the surgeon to both look at the patient and the navigation data at the same time. This special 510(k) submission outlines minor software modifications to the cleared XVS system, aimed at enhancing the 2D-3D registration process. Changes include minor updates to the C-ARM Ring adaptor, XVS sterile kits with C- and X-markers, and the addition of a patient marker extender for improved reflectors' visibility. A new software version introduces enhancements to the GUI, ease of use, and bug fixes. ### SUMMARY OF TECHNOLOGICAL CHARACTERISTICS The technological characteristics of the modified XVS system are identical to the technological characteristics of the predicate device. Both the cleared and the subject devices optical tracking technology and display, to the surgeon, the tracked surgical instruments relative to the acquired patient's scan, onto the surgical field. The 2D scanned data and 3D reconstructed model, along with tracking information, are projected to the surgeons' retina using a transparent near-eye-display headset, allowing the surgeon to both look at the patient and the navigation data at the same time. This submission outlines a series of minor hardware and software modifications aimed at enhancing the 2D-3D registration workflow, improving component reliability, and adding transportation package option for XVS sterile kits. To enhance the registration process, hardware changes were applied to the C-ARM Ring Adapter and a new component (i.e., Patient Marker Extender) was introduced. Software modifications include cybersecurity and HIPPA enhancement, adding GUI guidance and enforce allowable distances and angles for markers during registration. Reliability of components has been improved through minor deign changes. Lastly, a new transportation package for XVS sterile kits holding 3-unit package, was introduced to complement the existing 10-unit package. Performance tests verified that mechanical stability of the attachment of the new component, overall system accuracy and compliance with existing sterilization, cleaning and transportation standards is maintained. The minor hardware and software changes do not impact clinical use, and do not raise any new questions of safety or efficacy. Together these modifications enhance ease of use and reliability while preserving the device's fundamental technology, safety, and effectiveness. {6}------------------------------------------------ To conclude, while the modified XVS system offers minor enhancements to some hardware components and some software features, the basic technology remains the same and is validated using the same method and the same success criteria. A substantial equivalence table summarizing the similarities and differences between the xvision Spine system and its predicate device is provided below. {7}------------------------------------------------ # Augmedics Ltd. # xvision Spine system Substantial Equivalence Comparison Table | | xvision Spine (subject device) | xvision Spine (K241481) | Conclusion | |--------------------------------------------------------|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| | Intended Use | The xvision Spine System, with xvision Spine System Software, is intended as an aid for precisely locating anatomical structures in either open or percutaneous spine procedures | The xvision Spine System, with xvision Spine System Software, is intended as an aid for precisely locating anatomical structures in either open or percutaneous spine procedures | Identical | | Indications for Use | Their 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 a patient's fluoroscopic or CT imagery of the anatomy.
