SMAIO (Software, Machines and
Adaptative Implants in Orthopaedics – Euronext
Growth Paris ISIN: FR0014005I80 / Ticker: ALSMA, eligible for
PEA-PME equity savings plans) (Paris:ALSMA), a French player
specialized in complex spine surgery with a global offer comprising
software, adaptative implants and related services, today announced
that it has received FDA 510(k) clearance for “K-rod”, its
patient-specific rod.
K-rod union rods are patient specific, respecting the
patient’s anatomy, thanks to the accurate 3D modeling undertaken
with SMAIO’s KEOPS Balance Analyzer 3D software. Combined with the
Kheiron posterior spinal fixation system, they enable the strict
alignment of the spine on the rod. The K-rod range has been
marketed in Europe since June 2019, and obtaining this 510(k)
clearance allows SMAIO to offer these innovative rods to North
American surgeons for the first time.
Philippe ROUSSOULY, CEO of SMAIO, comments: “In 2012,
SMAIO was the first company in the world to unveil spinal
realignment surgical planning software capable of simulating the
compensations of the patient’s imbalances at pelvic and thoracic
level. Today, on the strength of the experience acquired through
thousands of cases of surgical planning undertaken for hundreds of
surgeons with the majority of implantable devices that exist on the
market, SMAIO is able to provide its own holistic solution
combining planning, execution and evaluation of results via its
i-kontrol platform. Thanks to the 510(k) clearance obtained for
“K-rod”, our solution can now be offered in its entirety in North
American medical centers. Indeed, 510(k) clearance for this
patient-specific rod technology, following that received for the
Balance Analyzer 3D surgery planning software last month and the
Kheiron spinal fixation system in October 2020, will enable us to
accelerate the distribution of the i-kontrol holistic solution in
the United States, in line with our global strategy, which aims to
make spine surgery more effective, safer and more predictable”.
