Intended Use

The Sculptor Robotic Guidance Arm (RGA) is intended to assist the surgeon in providing software-defined spatial boundaries for orientation and reference information to anatomical structures during orthopedic procedures. The Sculptor RGA is indicated for use in unicompartmental knee replacement, in which the use of stereotactic surgery may be appropriate, and where reference to rigid anatomical bony structures can be identified relative to a CT-based model of the anatomy.

Device Story

The Sculptor RGA is a robotic surgical system used in orthopedic procedures. It takes CT scan data as input to create a 3D anatomical model for pre-operative planning. During surgery, a tracking arm monitors the patient's anatomy and the position of the robotic arm relative to the surgical plan. The system provides dynamic referencing and establishes software-defined spatial boundaries. The surgeon operates a milling tool attached to the robotic arm; the system restricts the tool's movement to the planned bone-removal area, ensuring accurate bone preparation for implant placement. Used in clinical settings by surgeons, the device enhances precision in unicompartmental knee arthroplasty, potentially improving implant positioning and patient outcomes.

Clinical Evidence

Clinical evidence consists of a prospective, single-site case series of 35 patients (36 knees) diagnosed with osteoarthritis undergoing primary unicompartmental knee arthroplasty. Primary endpoints included radiographic assessment of implant placement, Oxford Knee Score outcomes, and quality of life assessments. Results demonstrated the system's ability to accurately prepare the tibia and femur for component positioning, with good radiographic outcomes reported.

Technological Characteristics

System comprises a robotic arm, tracking arm, drill system, and touch screen monitor. Operates via CT-based 3D modeling and real-time spatial tracking. Software performs thresholding, segmentation, landmarking, and registration to anatomical structures. Connectivity includes data import/export and patient file management. Verification testing covered electrical safety and electromagnetic compatibility.

Indications for Use

Indicated for patients undergoing unicompartmental knee replacement for osteoarthritis where stereotactic surgery is appropriate and rigid anatomical bony structures can be registered to a CT-based model.

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.

Verification testing was performed to verify the Sculptor RGA registration process, software flow, and device safety. The following activities were verified: - Touch screen calibration t - . Software and hardware setup and shutdown procedures - Individual hardware component function (e.g., Sculptor Arm, . Tracking Arm) - · Correct interoperation of components - Registration procedures . - Bone sculpting function and boundary data integrity . - . Software thresholding, segmentation, data import, 3D model creation, joint and implant selection, landmarking, frames of reference, planning, workflow, patient file management, data integrity and backup, and CD burning - System run-through . System level verification and validation testing was performed in the laboratory using Sawbone models to evaluate setup, registration, and overall accuracy and functionality of the system in supporting unicondylar knee replacement. #### Clinical Case Series Results from a prospective, single site, clinical case series of patients undergoing primary unicompartmental knee arthroplasty with a diagnosis of osteoarthritis demonstrate the ability of the Sculptor RGA to prepare the tibia and femur for accurate positioning of the components of a unicompartmental knee system. The case series involved 35 patients (36 knees) and included a radiographic assessment of implant placement. Oxford Knee Score outcomes, and quality of life assessment. {2}------------------------------------------------ Assessments of lateral and A/P radiographs were performed by two orthopedic surgeons. Their analyses confirmed that the Sculptor accurately prepares the bone for unicompartmental knee replacement and validate the system's intended use. Testing performed on this device indicates that the Sculptor RGA is Substantial substantially equivalent to the predicate device. Performance testing Equivalence: of the Sculptor RGA included the FDA recommended verification and validation testing. System level verification and validation testing was performed in the laboratory using Sawbone models to evaluate setup, registration, and overall accuracy and functionality of the system in supporting unicondylar knee replacement. A prospective, single arm clinical study conducted in the United Kingdom demonstrated good radiographic outcomes with respect to implant placement when the Sculptor RGA was used to prepare the bone for implantation.
