[63 FR 23387. Apr. 29. 1998] Regulatory Class: Class II Device Product Code: LLZ Company Contact: Mr. David W. Schlerf Somersault Orthopedics, Inc. 142 N. Milpitas Blvd., Suite 262 Milpitas, CA 95035-4401 925.768.0247 - Direct April 12. 2013 Date Prepared: Predicate Device(s): 1) Mimics Software - K073468 · 2) TraumaCAD Software- K073714 Summary Device Description: The WAULT® System software described here was developed in conformance with reference to the FDA Guidance Document for Industry "Guidance for the Submission of Premarket Notifications for Medical Image Management Devices, July 27, 2000". Based on the information contained in Section G of that document, a final determination of submission content was developed. A secondary reference entitled "Guidance for the Content of Premarket Submissions for Software Contained in Medical Devices. May 11, 2005 was also used and resulted in a determination of a "MODERATE" level of concern for the software. 187 {1}------------------------------------------------ The UAULT® System software is made available to the user via a web-accessed software interface. The program is a surgeon directed surgical planning package primarily but not exclusively directed at trauma and orthopedic indications. After secure log-in the user requests, creates, reviews and finally authorizes their desired surgical plan. When authorizing, the surgeon/user may choose additional options such as implant sizing and/or various file output options. Discussion of Similarities and Differences: The primary and most immediately noticeable difference is that the VAULT® Sustem software is Web-based while the predicate devices are local (PC/Laptop/Notebook) or local server based (hospital/clinic/office). Locally installed software presents minor to major complicating factors related to version, hardware, speed, operating system conflicts, etc. Those complicating factors are eliminated or reduced by direct company control of single edition server based web-portal program access. All users access the same optimized revision level software. A second apparent difference in the basic operation of the Vault System and the predicate(s) software is the initial mass conversion and use of graphical images such as JPEG, BMP, PNG, of TIFF by the Vault System for planning. Both Mimics and TraumaCAD perform their planning on the DICOM images and then save/export files to JPEG file format(s) for presentation and export/import purposes. The difference between the systems is the fact that the predicate software packages perform DICOM to JPEG conversion as a post-plan individual step. The WAULT® Sustem software performs this activity initially, converting all image files at once before planning and saving or exporting, Functionally there is no significant difference between the program capabilities other than improved performance on the part of the VAULT® System software. 188 {2}------------------------------------------------ | Feature | VAULT® System | Mimics<br>K073468 | TraumaCAD<br>K073714 | |-----------------|-------------------------------------------------------------------------|---------------------------------------------------------|----------------------------------------------------------| | Indication for | The VAULT® System is intended for | Mimics software is intended | The TraumaCAD program is | | Use: | use as a software interface and | for use as a software interface | indicated for assisting healthcare | | | image manipulation system for the | and image manipulation | professionals in preoperative | | | transfer of imaging information | system for the transfer of | planning of orthopedic surgery. | | | from a medical scanner such as | imaging information from a | The device allows for overlaying | | | Computerized Axial Tomography | medical scanner such as a CT | of prosthesis templates on | | | (CT) or Magnetic Resonance | scanner or Magnetic | radiological images, and | | | Imaging (MRI).
