Vent Creativity Knee v1.0 (Hermes)

The Vent Creativity Knee v1.0 (Hermes) is a Class II medical image management and processing system designed for preoperative diagnostic and surgical planning in orthopedic applications. This software utilizes advanced algorithmic techniques to segment DICOM CT scans and generate accurate bone models, landmarks, and cut planes, with output files also supporting the fabrication of physical replicas.

The Vent Creativity Knee v1.0 (Hermes) device has received a Class II Medical Image Management And Processing System classification, indicating it is substantially equivalent to existing legally marketed devices. This regulatory determination permits its marketing, contingent upon adherence to general controls such as annual registration, device listing, good manufacturing practice, and labeling requirements, along with additional specific controls applicable to Class II devices. The Vent Creativity Knee v1.0 (Hermes) functions as a software interface and image segmentation system, facilitating the transfer of medical imaging data to output files. Its core utility lies in preoperative diagnostic and surgical planning, with its output files also being applicable for the fabrication of physical replicas in orthopedic contexts. The system processes DICOM CT scans to produce precise bone models, landmarks, and cut planes through the application of advanced algorithmic techniques. Both non-clinical and clinical testing validated the software's accuracy in bone segmentation and confirmed its substantial equivalence to predicate devices, thereby establishing its safety and effectiveness.
