Intended Use

The Mako System is intended to assist the surgeon in providing software-defined spatial boundaries for orientation and reference information to anatomical structures during orthopedic procedures, specifically reverse shoulder arthroplasty.

Technology

The system includes a robotic arm, an integrated cutting system, an optical detector, computing hardware, dedicated instrumentation, and operating software. It uses patient CT data for preoperative implant placement planning and intraoperative tracking of the patient's scapula, providing haptic guidance and software-defined spatial boundaries to enhance precision in orthopedic shoulder surgery.

Performance

Performance was evaluated through non-clinical testing including software functional testing, cutting system accuracy, reliability, software performance verification, system testing, cadaveric design validation, and summative evaluation, all supporting substantial equivalence to the predicate device.
