Intended Use
The GALILEO™ Spine Alignment Monitoring System is intended to provide intra-operative measurements to a surgeon to aid in the selection and positioning of orthopedic implant system components, relative to anatomical structures and reference axes. The GALILEO™ Spine Alignment Monitoring System is indicated for patients undergoing orthopedic spine surgery where the use of stereotactic surgery is considered safe and effective, and where a reference to a rigid spinal anatomical structure, such as a vertebral body, can be identified relative to the anatomy. The system aids the surgeon in controlling spinal sagittal alignment. Example spine surgical procedures include: - Spinal deformity correction - Spinal fusion
Device Story
System provides intra-operative real-time measurement of sagittal plane spine alignment (Lordosis, Kyphosis). Input: inertial sensor data from battery-powered Orientation Sensing Modules (OSM) attached to vertebrae. Processing: computer software calculates alignment parameters based on OSM measurements. Output: real-time alignment data displayed on touch screen tablet. Used in OR by surgeons during spinal procedures. Benefits: aids surgeon in controlling spinal sagittal alignment, facilitating accurate positioning of orthopedic implant components.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. Simulated bench tests verified software algorithms, calibration, registration, and measurement accuracy. Simulated use testing on sawbones and cadaver specimens validated system performance against standardized radiographic measurements. Electrical, EMC, wireless, software, biocompatibility, and sterilization/packaging validation (ISO 14937, ISO 11607) performed.
Technological Characteristics
Battery-powered Orientation Sensing Modules (OSM) with inertial sensors; wireless communication to computer/tablet. Materials established biocompatibility. Sterilization via ISO 14937/11607. Compliance with IEC 60601-1-2 and FCC 47 CFR part 15.
Indications for Use
Indicated for patients undergoing orthopedic spine surgery (e.g., deformity correction, fusion) where stereotactic surgery is safe and effective and a rigid spinal anatomical structure (e.g., vertebral body) can be identified for reference.

### VI. DEVICE DESCRIPTION
The GALILEO™ Spine Alignment Monitoring System provides intra-operative real-time measurement of sagittal plane spine alignment parameters such as Lordosis and Kyphosis. The system consists of Orientation Sensing Modules (OSM) that are attached to vertebrae of interest with the patient in prone position. The OSM's are battery-powered devices containing inertial sensors that measure vertebral alignment changes and communicate the information wirelessly to a computer. The computer software calculates sagittal plane spinal alignment parameters in real-time based on the OSM measurements and displays the information on a touch screen tablet.

### VII. INTENDED USE/ INDICATIONS FOR USE:
The GALILEO™ Spine Alignment Monitoring System is intended to provide intra-operative measurements to a surgeon to aid in the selection and positioning of orthopedic implant system components, relative to anatomical structures and reference axes,
The GALILEO™ Spine Alignment Monitoring System is indicated for patients undergoing orthopedic spine surgery where the use of stereotactic surgery is considered safe and effective, and where a reference to a rigid spinal anatomical structure, such as a vertebral body, can be identified relative to the anatomy. The system aids the surgeon in controlling spinal sagittal alignment.
Example spine surgical procedures include:
- Spinal deformity correction
- Spinal fusion
## VIII. TECHNOLOGICAL COMPARISONS TO THE PREDICATE
Both the predicate and subject devices provide intra-operative measurements to a surgeon to aid in the selection and positioning of orthopedic implant system components. Differences in tracking technology between the subject and predicate do not raise any new questions of safety and effectiveness. The reference device - iASSIST® Knee System (K122326) - is a legally marketed device that utilizes similar battery-powered inertial sensing technology as the subject device to track the orientation of instruments and anatomy.
### IX. PERFORMANCE DATA
The following performance data supports the safety and substantial equivalence of the GALILEO™ Spine Alianment Monitoring System.
- 1. Performance tests were performed under simulated bench test conditions to verify the implementation of the software algorithms and overall system accuracy covering all functional steps including: calibration, sagittal plane registration, vertebral registration, and sagittal plane spine alignment measurements.
- 2. Simulated use testing involving sawbones and cadaver specimen were performed to verify and validate the overall system performance and to compare system measurements with clinically accepted standardized radiographic measurements. The results demonstrated that the GALILEO™ Spine Alignment Monitoring System satisfied all user needs and intended use requirements.
- 3. Electrical, electromagnetic compatibility, and wireless telecommunication tests were performed to demonstrate compliance to IEC 60601-1-2, and FCC 47 CFR part 15.
- 4. Software tests were performed to ensure that the required functionalities and features were implemented without the introduction of hazardous anomalies.
- 5. Biocompatibility was achieved by using materials with established biocompatibility for characteristics for all patient contacting instruments and components.
- 6. Sterilization and packaging validation tests were performed for single-use components in compliance with ISO 14937 and ISO 11607 to ensure a SAL of 10-9 over the shelf life of the product.
{6}------------------------------------------------
## X. CONCLUSION
Based on the intended use, performance testing, and comparison to the predicate device, the GALILEO™ Spine Alignment Monitoring System has been shown to be substantially equivalent to the legally marketed predicate device and does not present any new questions of safety and effectiveness.
