# 1.6 DEVICE DESCRIPTION
360KS Implant Positioning System (project name KicoCAD) is a medical device consisting of a software application that provides patient-specific pre-operative surgical planning to assist in the positioning of knee implant components (femur, tibia and patella implants) with compatible knee systems (OMNI Life Science Apex Knee System (#K060192, #K073602, #K080842) and Corin Unity Total Knee System (#K113060)) for total knee arthroplasty.
The software is designed to assist qualified medical professionals with implant component placement, orientation, positioning and size selection. 360KS Implant Positioning System uses a Graphical User Interface (GUI), where any input provided by the user will provide visual feedback reflecting the input provided. Pre-operative plans are available for the femur, tibia and patella.
360KS Implant Positioning System (360KS IPS) requires access to pre-processed patient images (CT or MRI scan) to display three-dimensional images. Pre-processing is done by the engineering team of Kico Knee Innovation Company using Scan IP (510(k) accession number: K142779) to generate a threedimensional bone model and landmarks. The bone model and landmarks are then imported into 360KS IPS and Production Engineers of Kico Knee Innovation Company apply the referring surgeon's prescription for sizing and placement of femoral, tibia and patella components to generate a surgical plan. The process of landmarking and surgical plan creation both have independent QC steps. Once the plan is complete and all QC steps have passed, it is uploaded to the cloud and made available to the referring surgeon. The referring surgeon can then view and modify the plan on their own installation of 360KS Implant Position System.
The 360KS Implant Positioning System is developed within the Integrated Development Environment (IDE) of Visual Studio Professional. The software is written in C# (C Sharp) using .NET framework target version 4.5 in Windows Operating System (OS). 360KS Implant Positioning System is recommended to run on a Windows 7 PC with 2.4 GHz or faster intel Core i5-6300 processor for best performance. The 360KS Implant Positioning System requires 4GB of RAM and a DirectX 9 graphics device with WDDM 1.0 or higher driver. The application requires 10GB of available disk space and the visual display resolution should be set to 1920x1080. An internet connection is also required.
The intended users are production trained engineers and trained orthopaedic surgeons who have experience in total knee replacement. To ensure correct user operation of the software, 360KS Implant Positioning System incorporates simple UI design to make the software more intuitive.
Creation of patient specific guides from the surgical plan is neither part of this device nor submission.
# 1.7 Intended Use / Indications
360KS Implant Positioning System (IPS) is intended for use as patient-specific surgical planning software to aid orthopaedic surgeons in selection, sizing and placement of knee implant components (femur, tibia and patella implants) provided that the required anatomical landmarks of the knee can be identified on pre-operative CT or MRI scans in patients requiring total knee arthroplasty.
360KS IPS is indicated for use with OMNI Life Science Apex Knee System (#K060192, #K073602, #K080842) and Corin Unity Total Knee System (#K113060).

## 1.8 Comparison of Technical Characteristics with the Predicate Device
| Manufacturer | Device | 510(k) Number |
|--------------|---------|---------------|
| Lexi | ZedView | K133022 |
360KS Implant Positioning System is considered to be substantially equivalent to ZedView (K133022) from Lexi. The two devices provide capabilities for total knee replacement surgical planning.
At a higher level, the subject and the predicate devices are based on the same technological elements:
- . Visualisation and 3D bone model generation using DICOM file
- Surgical planning in a 3D environment, including templating and positioning of implants
- . Storage and retrieval of plan file for future use
While the technology used in both subject and predicate devices are identical, there are several feature differences:
- . Image format - ZedView provides pre-operative planning from CT image while 360KS Implant Positioning System provides pre-operative planning from CT and MRI image segmentation is provided by use of OTS Software ScanIP (510(k) #K142779).
## 1.9 PERFORMANCE DATA
The following performance data are provided in support of the substantial equivalence determination:
#### Software Verification and Validation Testing
Software verification and validation testing were conducted and documentation was provided as recommended by FDA's Guidance for the Industry and FDA Staff: 'Guidance for the Content of Premarket Submissions for Software Contained in Medical Devices.' Testing included both system and unit level.
The software for this device is considered a 'Moderate' level of concern (see section 18.1 for assessment), as, prior to mitigation of hazards, a failure of the device could result in minor injury. A failure or misuse of ScanIP (510(k) #K142779), such as misinterpreting scanned data, could in exceptional circumstances cause a minor injury to a patient. This could take the form of implant components being incorrectly positioned. Software documentation, including verification and validation activities and related performance data, has been provided to demonstrate that appropriate steps have been taken to ensure mitigation of potential risks.
#### 1.10 NON-CLINICAL TESTING
Non-clinical testing in the form of software verification and validation were performed to assess the safety and effectiveness of the device. The testing verified that the accuracy and performance of the system is adequate to perform as intended.
## 1.11 Clinical Testing
This section does not apply. Clinical testing is not required for this Traditional 510(k) device.

Part 1 — Search, results, and everyday workflows 16 min
Part 2 — Embeddings: the galaxy map 3 min
1. Search: exact and fuzzy
Type a phrase like "coronary artery calcification" into the search box. You get two kinds of results. Exact results match the literal phrase — prefix searches work ("coronary artery calcificati") but suffix searches do not. Fuzzy results match on the meaning and intent of your phrase rather than the exact words, and are sorted by relevance score. Hover over the Exact or Fuzzy badge on any row to see exactly why it matched.
Use the checkboxes above the results to narrow: SaMD keeps only software-only devices, AI / ML keeps only devices with AI.
Exact vs. fuzzy search: what's the difference?
Exact matches on the literal phrase (prefix search works, suffix does not). Fuzzy matches on the meaning and intent of the phrase rather than the exact words. Hover over the badge on any row to see why it matched.
You search "coronary artery calcification" and want only software devices with AI. What two filters do you apply?
Narrow by SaMD (software-only devices), then narrow by AI/ML (devices with AI).
2. The results table
Scroll right in the results table. The intended use is extracted for you — no need to open the PDF. The device story gives a high-level snapshot of what the device does and how it's used. The AI Performance sub-table shows each output name, acceptance criteria, observed values, and development/test dataset descriptions — the same format Innolitics uses for regulatory strategy outputs, and the fastest high-level fingerprint of an AI device. It is AI-generated but has been very reliable in practice.
Where do you find a device's intended use without opening the PDF?
Scroll right in the search results table. The intended use column is extracted for you; no need to dig into the 510(k) summary PDF.
What does the AI Performance sub-table show, and why is it useful?
Output name, acceptance criteria, observed values, development dataset description, and test dataset description. It's the same format we use for regulatory strategy output and Fast 510(k) input, and the fastest high-level fingerprint of an AI device. AI-generated but reliable in practice.
3. Judging fuzzy relevance
Fuzzy results trail off in relevance as you scroll. Use three signals to decide how far down to go: the fuzzy badge explanations, the intended use column, and whether your target output (e.g., Cobb angle) still appears in the AI Performance sub-table. Once it stops appearing, you're past the relevant zone. A top hit with a low score (~0.4) and a stretched explanation is a hint the closest predicates are far away — the project may be headed for De Novo. Note the fuzzy search is a pattern match: it doesn't handle negation ("not") well, and hardware devices can appear — filter by SaMD/AI ML to cut them.
How do you judge how far down fuzzy search results to go?
Use the relevancy signals: the fuzzy badge explanations, the intended use column, and whether the target output (e.g., Cobb angle) still appears in the AI Performance sub-table. Once it stops appearing, results are trailing off in relevancy.
4. Device detail page: chat and citations
Click a device name to open its detail page: device facts on the left, a chat window on the right. Ask something like "Describe the training data". The answer carries little citation bubbles — click one to jump to the highlighted passage in the source PDF, so you can verify every AI answer against the document. There's also a Download PDF button for sharing.
How do you verify an AI chat answer on the device detail page?
Click the citation bubbles to jump to the relevant highlight in the source document.
Reading rule for every project: how many summaries do you read in full?
At least the three most relevant 510(k) or De Novo summaries, in full. After that, use targeted chat questions to confirm your memory quickly. The tool supports this professional habit — it doesn't replace it.
5. Side-by-side comparison
Select multiple rows in the results table (aim for under ~10), then open the PDF Viewer tab. Ask one question — it goes to all selected devices in parallel, each with citations. This is the fastest way to compare and contrast devices: training data, PCCP scope, how they handled adding new scanners, and so on.
What does the side-by-side PDF viewer mode do?
Select multiple devices, open the PDF viewer tab, and ask one question (e.g., "Describe the training data"). It queries all selected devices simultaneously with citations, so you can compare and contrast quickly.
6. Collections
With rows selected, go to the Collections tab and create a labeled collection (e.g., "Cobb Angle Project"). Reload that selection any time — before a client call, pull up the collection and ask questions across all of its devices at once.
How do you save a set of selected devices for later use?
Select the rows, go to the Collections tab, and create a labeled collection (e.g., "Cobb Angle Project"). You can reload the selection anytime and carry it into the PDF viewer and other tabs that support selections.
7. Product codes and the regulations tree
Click a product code in the results to jump to it in the regulations tree — identification text, sibling product codes, and devices you can open in a PDF viewer on the right. Click a regulation number to see its identification, special controls, and related product codes. You can also search by product code or regulation number at the top of the tree. Always read the special controls if any exist for your device — it broadens your search and sharpens pre-kickoff research.
What can you do from the regulations tree view?
Browse product codes and regulation numbers, read the identification text and special controls, browse sibling product codes, open device PDFs on the right, and search by product code or regulation number at the top of the tree.
8. Chart view
Click Show Chart and segment by regulation number (or product code) to see which regulations dominate your result set. Clicking a regulation takes you into the regulations tree. Great for spotting that most matches are, say, hardware laparoscopic devices — a cue to go back and filter.
How do you see which regulations dominate a search result set?
Click "Show Chart" and segment by Regulation Number. Clicking a regulation takes you to the regulations tree.
9. The predicate graph
Open the Predicates tab for a family-tree view of predicate relationships. Click a node to trace its parents and children; selections from search carry over pre-selected. Commonly predicated devices are worth reading — a lot of people predicated them for a reason. The visual lineage is also handy on client calls, e.g. to show how a predicate family evolved and justify why your predicate still holds.
In the predicate graph, why are commonly predicated devices worth reading?
A lot of people predicated them for a reason. Clicking a node traces parents and children, and selections from search carry over pre-selected.
10. Embeddings: the galaxy map
The Embeddings tab plots every matching document in a 2-D "galaxy map" where semantically similar devices cluster together. Hover or click clusters to explore, and let AI label the clusters for you. Embeddings beat product codes for grouping: two devices can carry different product codes (LLZ vs. QIH) yet do the same thing — the embedding captures the meaning of the intended use and device story. This is also exactly how retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) works under the hood, and it makes a great visual on client calls.
