HipGuide is a medical device software application designed to assist surgeons in evaluating implant positioning, alignment, and anatomical relationships during hip replacement procedures. HipGuide supports intra-operative clinical decision making by providing visual overlays or measurements taken manually on fluoroscopic images. It is not intended to replace the surgeon’s judgment or serve as a diagnostic device. Rx only.
Device Story
HipGuide is a software application used intra-operatively by surgeons during hip replacement procedures. It takes live or captured fluoroscopic images from a mobile C-arm as input. The device functions as a manual measurement tool, allowing the surgeon to place and adjust visual overlays, points, and lines directly on the displayed image to assess distances and angles. It does not modify, store, or transmit patient data. The output is a visual overlay on the host imaging system, which the surgeon uses to support clinical decision-making regarding implant positioning and alignment. The device does not contact the patient or interact with implants; it serves as an adjunct to the surgeon's judgment.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. No clinical data. Accuracy evaluated using ~100 linear and angular measurements on calibrated test objects. Results showed linear accuracy of ±5mm and angular accuracy of ±5°, consistent with predicate performance and literature.
Technological Characteristics
Software-only medical device. Operates on mobile C-arm systems with flat-panel detectors. Provides manual measurement tools (points, lines, visual overlays). No patient contact. No automated algorithmic processing; relies on manual user-controlled placement. Standalone software application.
Indications for Use
Indicated for surgeons performing hip replacement procedures to assist in evaluating implant positioning, alignment, and anatomical relationships via manual measurements on intra-operative fluoroscopic images.

Dear Michael Mccaig:
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 (the 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 available at https://www.accessdata.fda.gov/scripts/cdrh/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. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 898. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register.

| Device Description Summary | | 21 CFR 807.92(a)(4) |
| HipGuide is a software application that provides calibrated measurement overlays, alignment guides, and visual reference markers on fluoroscopic images to support intraoperative decision-making during orthopedic procedures, including hip replacement surgery. HipGuide's principle of operation is manual, user-controlled placement and adjustment of points, lines, and visual guides directly on the displayed fluoroscopic image, enabling assessment of distances and angles without altering the underlying image data. HipGuide is used during procedures involving the hip and surrounding anatomy and does not contact the patient or interact with implants. The user interface consists of on-screen tools that allow surgeons to create, move, and remove measurement elements using standard system controls. The device interacts only with the host imaging system by displaying overlays on top of the live or captured fluoroscopic image and does not modify, store, or transmit patient data. | | |
| Intended Use/Indications for Use | | 21 CFR 807.92(a)(5) |
| HipGuide is a medical device software application designed to assist surgeons in evaluating implant positioning, alignment, and anatomical relationships during hip replacement procedures. HipGuide supports intra-operative clinical decision making by providing visual overlays or measurements taken manually on fluoroscopic images. It is not intended to replace the surgeon's judgment or serve as a diagnostic device. Rx only. | | |
| Indications for Use Comparison | | 21 CFR 807.92(a)(5) |
| The subject device utilizes the same principle of operation as the predicate device as they are both designed to make measurements using intra-operative radiographic images acquired by a mobile c arm. HipGuide is substantially equivalent to the predicate device PhantomMSK Hip (K210136) with respect to intended use, technological characteristics, and performance. | | |

Technological Comparison
21 CFR 807.92(a)(6)
The predicate and subject devices are similar in the types of measurements they make and in the environments in which they are used, namely, to landmark and make measurements in connection with total hip arthroplasty (THA) procedures using images acquired by a mobile C-arm in the operating room. The predicate device is mounted on a monitor cart connected to the C-arm video output, whereas the subject device is operated directly on the C-arm. The predicate device can use a grid to correct image distortion caused by image intensifiers and can work with flat-panel detectors. The subject device works with images produced by flat-panel detectors, which have twice the image area of a 12-inch image intensifier, providing images wide enough to capture both hips at once without requiring grid calibration. The predicate device offers algorithmic automated landmarking with manual adjustments and AI-powered software to simplify landmarking and measurements. The subject device relies on manual landmarking and the placement of measurement tools.
Non-Clinical and/or Clinical Tests Summary & Conclusions
21 CFR 807.92(b)
The bench testing was performed in connection with the Software Verification Testing. The Bench Testing Report provides a summary of those activities and compares those results to several scientific publications on this subject to provide evidence that the measurement accuracy of the subject device is well within the limits suggested by the literature. No guidance documents or FDA recognized consensus standards were used.
Measurement Accuracy Testing: Nearly 100 linear and angular measurements were evaluated using calibrated test objects with known dimensions and angular positions. HipGuide demonstrated a measurement accuracy of $\pm 5\mathrm{mm}$ for linear measurements and $\pm 5^{\circ}$ for angular measurements. These results support that HipGuide's measurement performance is consistent with the predicate device and suitable for its intended intraoperative use.
