## Indications for Use

Bone Track software provides pre-operative digital implant templating to facilitate the selection and ordering of orthopedic implants. The software allows for a semi-automatic ordering process, by printing a pick list, which can be used by the physician to order orthopedic components directly from the manufacturer. The software also tracks those components and provide post-operative patient follow-up all in a digital environment. The software will be provided on a stand-alone or hospital network workstation.

## Device Story

System comprises three modules: Pre-Operative, Tracking, and Post-Operative. Pre-Operative module: loads digital X-rays from network, disk, or scanner; physician uses digital measuring tools and overlays pre-loaded digital templates onto X-ray for prosthetic selection; generates printed pick list for ordering. Tracking module: uses PDA and bar code reader to capture device manufacturer, part number, lot number, and serial number during surgery. Post-Operative module: tracks implant migration or structural changes over time using industry-accepted algorithms (stem dislocation, wear circle cup, wear elliptic cup). Used in hospital/clinic settings by physicians as an assistance tool; not a diagnostic device. Benefits include streamlined implant ordering, improved inventory tracking, and digital follow-up of implant performance.

## Clinical Evidence

Bench testing only. No clinical data provided.

## Technological Characteristics

Software-based system for digital templating and tracking. Operates on stand-alone or hospital network workstations. Utilizes industry-accepted algorithms for post-operative measurements (stem dislocation, wear circle cup, wear elliptic cup).

## Regulatory Identification

A computed tomography x-ray system is a diagnostic x-ray system intended to produce cross-sectional images of the body by computer reconstruction of x-ray transmission data from the same axial plane taken at different angles. This generic type of device may include signal analysis and display equipment, patient and equipment supports, component parts, and accessories.

## Name of Device:

VIDAR Bone Track System Software

## Predicate Device:

Agfa IMPAX OT3000 Orthopedic Display Station

## Intended Use:

Bone Track software provides pre-operative digital implant templating to facilitate the selection and ordering of orthopedic implants. The software allows for a semi-automatic ordering process, by printing a pick list, which can be used by the physician to order orthopedic components directly from the manufacturer. The software also tracks those components and provide post-operative patient follow-up all in a digital environment. The software will be provided on a stand-alone or hospital network workstation.

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

## Device Description:

The VIDAR Bone Track System is comprised of three modules: The Pre-Operative Module, the Tracking Module and the Post-Operative Module

In the Pre-Operative Module, the patient's digital x-ray is then loaded into the software, either from the hospital network, via a disk or from a digital scanner. The x-ray image is located in the system using standard digital measuring tools. The physician chooses which orthopedic device to template. The user then utilizes the software tools to overlay pre-loaded digital templates onto the x-ray image to allow for proper prosthetic selection. Once the physician has selected all of the appropriate prosthetic components, the software generates a pick list to allow for easy ordering of parts. This list can be printed out.

The VIDAR Bone Track System allows for tracking of orthopedic devices used during patient surgery. Using a PDA and a bar code reader, the devices' bar codes are scanned. Device manufacturer. device part number, lot number, and serial number are captured.

The VIDAR Bone Track System's Post-Operative Module allows the physician to track migration or other changes to the implant in the bones' structures for a specific patient over time using industry-accepted algorithms. The physician can use measurements include stem dislocation, wear circle cup and wear elliptic cup. Bone Track is not a diagnostic tool. It is to be used by the physician as an assistance tool.

# Technological Characteristics:

The technological characteristics of the new device are the same as those of the predicate device.

# Performance Data:

Bench testing was performed to ensure that the device performs as intended. All testing demonstrated satisfactory performance of the device.

This information is provided pursuant to the requirements of the Safe Medical Devices Act of 1990 (SMDA).

Dear Mr. Rothkopf:

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 (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. 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.
