## Indications for Use

The Zimmer Biomet Universal Navigation System is indicated for use during the preparation and insertion of Zimmer Biomet screws during spinal surgery to assist the surgeon in precisely locating anatomical structures in either open or minimally invasive procedures. The universal adaptors are specifically designed for use with the Zimmer Biomet ROSA One Spine application, which is indicated for providing spatial positioning and orientation of instrument holders or tool guides based upon an intraoperative plan developed with three dimensional imaging software provided that the required fiducial markers and rigid patient anatomy can be identified on 3D CT scans. The ROSA One Spine application is intended to assist in the placement of pedicle screws in vertebrae with a posterior approach in the thoracolumbar region.

## Device Story

The Zimmer Biomet Universal Navigation System consists of universal adaptors designed to interface existing surgical instruments (Vitality, Pathfinder NXT, Polaris) with the ROSA One Spine navigation system. The system utilizes 3D CT scan data to facilitate intraoperative spatial positioning and orientation of tool guides. Surgeons use the system to assist in the precise preparation and insertion of pedicle screws during spinal surgery. The device operates by tracking instrument position relative to patient anatomy, allowing for navigation-guided placement. It is intended for use in clinical settings by surgeons. The system benefits patients by providing navigation assistance for screw placement, potentially increasing accuracy in spinal procedures.

## Clinical Evidence

No clinical data was needed. Performance was established through bench testing, specifically accuracy testing of the navigation instruments conducted in accordance with ASTM F2554-18 Standard Practice for Measurement of Positional Accuracy of Computer Assisted Surgical Systems.

## Technological Characteristics

The system comprises universal adaptors for surgical instrumentation. It utilizes optical or mechanical navigation principles integrated with the ROSA One Spine platform. Accuracy testing follows ASTM F2554-18. The system is designed for use with 3D CT imaging data. Connectivity is provided via the ROSA One Spine navigation architecture.

## Regulatory 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.

### Device Description & Technological Characteristics:

The Zimmer Biomet Universal Navigation System includes Universal Adaptors that are intended to be used with instrumentation from Vitality Spinal Fixation System (including Vitality MIS), Pathfinder NXT Minimally Invasive Pedicle Screw System, and Polaris Spinal Fixation System (including Cypher MIS Screw System) to facilitate preparation and insertion of Zimmer Biomet screws using navigation.

### Intended Use / Indications for Use:

The Zimmer Biomet Universal Navigation System is indicated for use during the preparation and insertion of Zimmer Biomet screws during spinal surgery to assist the surgeon in precisely locating anatomical structures in either open or minimally invasive procedures. The universal adaptors are specifically designed for use with the Zimmer Biomet ROSA One Spine application, which is indicated for providing spatial positioning and orientation of instrument holders or tool guides based upon an intraoperative plan developed with three dimensional imaging software provided that the required fiducial markers and rigid patient anatomy can be identified on 3D CT scans. The ROSA One Spine application is intended to assist in the placement of pedicle screws in vertebrae with a posterior approach in the thoracolumbar region.

#### Summary of Technological Characteristics:

The technological characteristics of the subject Zimmer Biomet Universal Navigation System components remain the same as, or similar to, the predicates in regards to intended use, indications for use, design, manufacturing methods, materials, and operational principles. The purpose of this submission is to seek clearance to introduce new adaptors designed to interface with the already-cleared surgical navigation system, ROSA One Spine application, and alreadycleared pedicle screw preparation and insertion instruments to facilitate preparation and insertion of Zimmer Biomet screws using navigation.

### Summary of Performance Data:

Validation activities are used to confirm the instruments meet performance requirements, providing assurance of device performance for their intended use, similar to predicate systems. Accuracy testing of the Zimmer Biomet Universal Navigation System Instruments was performed in accordance ASTM F2554-18 Standard Practice For Measurement of Positional Accuracy of Computer Assisted Surgical Systems. Clinical data was not needed for the Zimmer Biomet Universal Navigation System.

### Substantial Equivalence Conclusion:

The Zimmer Biomet Universal Navigation System is substantially equivalent to the predicate system in regards to intended use, indications for use, fundamental technology including design, materials, manufacturing methods, materials and operational principles. Furthermore, validation testing and other supporting information sufficiently demonstrate the substantial equivalence of the subject components. Based on this information, the subject device does not raise any new issues regarding the safety or efficacy when compared to its predicates.
