Intended Use

The Navitrack™ System is a stereotaxic instrument indicated for use in precisely positioning instruments or implants during orthopedic surgery, such as operation performed within spinal structures. The Navitrack™ System enables the surgeon to review radiology images from different modalities in two-dimensional and three-dimensional display. This system also enables the surgeon to virtually manipulate bone structures as reconstructed from these modalities in order to perform pre-operative planning.

Device Story

Navitrack™ is a computer-assisted stereotaxic surgery system. It utilizes a magnetic field digitizer (position sensor unit) to track surgical tools and bone structures in 3D space. Electromagnetic receivers are attached to surgical instruments and a reference clamp on the patient's bone. The system processes 6-degree-of-freedom sensor data to monitor tool position and attitude relative to anatomy. A workstation runs software that integrates radiology images from various modalities, allowing 2D/3D visualization and virtual bone manipulation for pre-operative planning. During surgery, the system provides real-time navigation by displaying the virtual position of surgical tools relative to the patient's anatomy. Operated by surgeons in an OR setting, the system assists in precise instrument/implant placement, potentially improving surgical accuracy and outcomes.

Clinical Evidence

Performance tests and clinical studies were conducted to validate safety and accuracy. Specific metrics were not detailed in the provided summary.

Technological Characteristics

Stereotaxic instrument; magnetic field digitizer for 3D localization; electromagnetic transmitter/receivers; computer workstation-based; 6-degree-of-freedom tracking; software-based image reconstruction and visualization.

Indications for Use

Indicated for orthopedic surgery, including spinal procedures, requiring precise positioning of instruments or implants.

Regulatory Classification

Identification

## C. IDENTIFICATION OF PREDICATE DEVICES

The Navitrack™ System is substantially equivalent to the following legally marketed devices :

- The Regulus™ Navigator from COMPASS International Inc. (K964229), determined . to be substantially equivalent to a legally marketed device on August 19, 1997.
- . The Surgical Microscope Navigator System from Zeiss (K965139), determined to be substantially equivalent to a legally marketed device on April 23, 1997.

{1}------------------------------------------------

#### D. DEVICE DESCRIPTION

The main components of the Navitrack™ system are:

#### D.1. Computer Workstation and device display

All the software implemented by ORTHOsoft and part of the Navitrack™ system resides and runs on a computer workstation. The computer is installed inside the device chassis and is linked to position sensors fixed on the surgical tools via cable, in order to follow surgeon movements.

#### D.2. Localization System

The localization system is made of a Position Sensor Unit (Magnetic Field Digitizer) and the Navitrack™ Software. Since the positioning sensors have the ability to measure six degrees of freedom, only one of these sensors will be required to monitor the 3 dimensional position and the attitude of each tool.

The electromagnetic transmitter and receivers are connected to electronic units, which perform position computations and relay information to the workstation.

#### D.3. Tools and instruments

The computer software is adapted to the surgical equipment. Electromagnetic receivers are fixed to the surgical tools. In order to follow the bone structure movements, a positioning sensor mounted onto a reference clamp is attached to the bone to be instrumented.

## E. INTENDED USE

The Navitrack™ System is a stereotaxic instrument indicated for use in precisely positioning instruments or implants during orthopedic surgery, such as operation performed within spinal structures.

The Navitrack™ System enables the surgeon to review radiology images from different modalities in two-dimensional and three-dimensional display. This system also enables the surgeon to virtually manipulate bone structures as reconstructed from these modalities in order to perform pre-operative planning.

# F. COMPARISON WITH SUBSTANTIALLY EQUIVALENT DEVICES

The Navitrack™ is substantially equivalent to the following legally marketed predicate devices :

- The Navitrack™ System is substantially equivalent to the Zeiss Surgical Microscope . Navigator (SMN) System with regard to its intended use which is navigational support during surgery. Both systems are indicated for use in orthopedic surgery.
- The Navitrack™ System is substantially equivalent to the Compass Regulus™ . Navigator with regard to its basic functions as a computer-assisted surgery system that incorporates a reconstruction software module intended to visualize the structure orientation within the anatomy of the human body

The Navitrack™ System, the Zeiss Surgical Microscope Navigator System and the Regulus™ Navigator are stereotaxic instruments intended to provide the surgeon with navigational support during surgery. Basically, these systems assist surgery by virtually displaying simultaneously the surgical tools and the structure of interest.

Differences that exist between these systems and Navitrack ™ relate to physical appearance and materials, options and accessories, and control systems. They do not affect the relative safety or effectiveness of the Navitrack™ System.

## G. TECHNOLOGICAL CHARACTERISTICS

The fundamental technical characteristics of the Navitrack™ are similar or identical to those of the predicate devices and are listed on the comparison table provided in this submission. Technical differences that exist between these systems do not affect the relative safety or effectiveness of the Navitrack device.

## H. PERFORMANCE DATA

Performance tests were done on the Navitrack™ System.

These tests along with clinical studies demonstrate that the Navitrack™ System is safe and accurate in performing the stated intended use.

The results of those tests and studies are attached to this submission.

You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. 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.

If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (Premarket Approval), it may be subject to such additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 895. A substantially equivalent determination assumes compliance with the current Good Manufacturing Practice requirement, as set forth in the Quality System Regulation (OS) for Medical Devices: General regulation (21 CFR Part 820) and that, through periodic (QS) inspections, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) will verify such assumptions. Failure to comply with the GMP regulation may result in regulatory action. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register. Please note: this response to your premarket notification submission does not affect any obligation you might have under sections 531 through 542 of the Act for devices under the Electronic Product Radiation Control provisions, or other Federal laws or regulations.

This letter will allow you to begin marketing your device as described in your 510(k) premarket notification. The FDA finding of substantial equivalence of your device to a legally marketed predicate device results in a classification for your device and thus, permits your device to proceed to the market.
