## Indications for Use

BrainLAB´s VectorVision® hip SR is intended as an intraoperative image-guided localization system. It links a freehand probe, tracked by a passive marker sensor system to virtual computer image space on a VectorVision® navigation station. The image data is provided either in the form of preoperatively-acquired patient images or in the form of an individual 3D model of the patient's bone, which is generated by acquiring multiple landmarks on the bone surface. The system is indicated for any medical condition in which the use of stereotactic surgery may be considered to be appropriate and where a reference to a rigid anatomical structure, such as the skull, a long bone, or vertebra, can be identified relative to a CT, X-ray, or MR-based model of the anatomy. The system aids the surgeon in accurately navigating a hip endoprothesis to the preoperatively or intraoperatively planned position. Example orthopedic surgical procedures include but are not limited to: · Partial/hemi-hip resurfacing

## Device Story

Intraoperative image-guided localization system; uses passive marker sensor system to track freehand probes/surgical instruments. Inputs: preoperatively-acquired patient images or intraoperatively acquired bone surface landmarks. Transformation: system generates 3D bone model; reconstructs anatomical axes/planes; aligns implants to planned positions. Output: visual navigation guidance on navigation station display. Used in OR by surgeons. Benefits: aids accurate navigation of hip endoprosthesis to planned position; enables non-CT-based intraoperative planning/navigation.

## Clinical Evidence

No clinical data; bench testing and validation only.

## Technological Characteristics

Intraoperative image-guided localization system; passive marker tracking; 3D bone modeling via surface landmark acquisition; software-based navigation; supports pre-calibrated drill guides.

## Regulatory 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.

### Device Description:

BrainLAB's VectorVision® hip SR is intended to enable operational planning and navigation in orthopedic hemi resurfacing surgery. It links a surgical instrument, tracked by flexible passive markers to virtual computer image space on an individual 3D-model of the patient's bone, which is generated through acquiring multiple landmarks on the bone surface. VectorVision® hip SR uses the registered landmarks to navigate the initial pin insertion into the femur with a pre-calibrated drillguide to the planned position.

VectorVision® hip SR allows 3-dimensional reconstruction of the relevant anatomical axes and planes of the femur and alignment of the implants. The VectorVision® hip SR software has been designed to read in data of implants and tools if provided by the implant manufacturer and offers to individually choose the prosthesis during each surgery. If no implant data is available it is possible to provide information in order to achieve a generally targeted alignment relative to the bone orientation as defined by the operating surgeon. The VectorVision® hip SR software registers the patient data needed for planning and navigating the surgery intraoperatively without CT-based imaging. The system can be used to generally align tool orientations according to the anatomy described and defined by the landmarks acquired by the surgeon.

### Substantial equivalence:

VectorVision® hip SR has been verified and validated according to the BrainLAB procedures for product design and development. The validation proves the safety and effectiveness of the information provided by BrainLAB in this 510 (k) application was found to be substantially equivalent with the predicate devices Vector Vision® Hip 3.0 (K 040368) and Vector Vision® Hip SR 1.0 (K 063028).
