FDA-cleared profile
Medicrea International S.A.S. (Medtronic)
UNiD Spine Analyzer assists healthcare professionals in viewing and measuring images and planning orthopedic spine surgery, including preoperative and postoperative measurements, surgical-strategy simulation, and patient-specific or standard implant planning; clinical judgment and surgeon validation remain required.
Clinical fit
Start with the authorized purpose, then verify how it fits your service line and reading workflow.
Regulatory identity
The FDA listing establishes the regulatory identity. It does not by itself establish local workflow fit, pricing, security, or performance in your environment.
Implementation
Use these fields to structure a vendor demo, security review, and implementation estimate.
This is the interface boundary described in the exact FDA decision material; current local compatibility, routing, identity, archive, and downtime behavior still require acceptance testing.
This is the release-level boundary described in the exact FDA decision material; current hosting, contracts, security, availability, upgrade path, and site configuration remain separate evidence.
Public materials reviewed for this exact release do not establish the complete security posture. Request data-flow, identity, audit, encryption, retention, remote-access, vulnerability-management, backup, and incident-response evidence.
Buyer-facing monitoring guidance derived from the exact cleared scope; it is not a claim that the FDA package provides a live monitoring service.
Map installed model, build, options, population, anatomy, inputs, outputs, and enabled functions to K251629 before acceptance.
exact submission · checked 2026-09-04Later product-family features are not evidence that this cleared release includes them.
The FDA comparison table describes a cloud-based application hosted on AWS and a standalone or connected mode; current hosting, contracts, security, retention, availability, and local configuration remain unverified.
exact submission · checked 2026-09-04FDA-described deployment boundaries do not establish current hosting contracts, security controls, uptime, or local qualification.
The FDA material describes a standalone or connected web application with image upload and export of images or ZIP files to the Medtronic HUB.
exact submission · checked 2026-09-04Test representative identifiers, orientation, geometry, measurements, units, routing, failure handling, and round trips locally.
Use a signed local test set for the supported population and workflow. Include common and difficult cases, exclusions, acquisition variation, failed or low-quality inputs, reviewer overrides, and downstream effects. The exact FDA material requires clinical judgment and surgeon validation before implant manufacture; the AI models and web workflow are version-specific, and the FDA submission used separate training and testing cases without clinical testing for the submission.
exact submission · checked 2026-09-04Define stop-use, escalation, rollback, and revalidation triggers before production use.
Model capital and recurring cost against net staff time after review, throughput, repeat imaging or rework, room time, consumables, infrastructure, training, service, downtime, upgrade, and replacement costs.
product family · checked 2026-09-04No exact-product price was found in the reviewed public material; productivity or value claims require local evidence.
Monitor K251629 by exact hardware, software, model, algorithm version, patient population, anatomy, protocol, operator, input quality, output edits or overrides, failed studies, repeat acquisition or rework, downstream impact, downtime, incidents, recalls, and updates.
exact submission · checked 2026-09-04Revalidate after material software, hardware, model, protocol, interface, or clinical-policy changes.
Evidence
Metrics are shown only when they are tied to a source, endpoint, population, and tested product version.
Sensitivity is not promoted as a product-wide endpoint. Compare only an exact endpoint, threshold, population, version, and source if later verified.
Specificity is not promoted as a product-wide endpoint. Compare only an exact endpoint, threshold, population, version, and source if later verified.

Economics and lifecycle
These are common procurement questions; unknown values remain visible until a source supports them.
No public list price for the exact cleared configuration was found. Obtain a written quote separating hardware or license basis, implementation, interfaces, infrastructure, training, service, upgrades, renewal, consumables, and exit costs.
No separate named-product payment identified in reviewed public material

Safety and lifecycle
Recall and adverse-event records are shown only after product matching. Adverse-event reports do not establish incidence or causality.
Exact-identifier review does not prove absence of all product-family safety signals.
