Ortoma Submits US FDA 510(k) Application for Spine Module

Published May 28, 2021

Ortoma has submitted a regulatory application for FDA 510(k) clearance of its spine module to be included in the platform Ortoma Treatment Solution (OTS). The spine module is a pre-operative planning solution for spine surgery. The OTS platform is a surgical system that is assisted by AI (Artificial Intelligence) for improved accuracy, efficiency and surgical outcome.

The submission has been accepted for review by the US FDA (US Food & Drug Administration). The result of the review is expected during the 2nd half-year 2021. After receiving FDA 510(k) clearance, the product will be available for use clinically in USA. The product has CE-mark for marketing on the European market since before.

“USA is the single largest market for spine surgery, followed by Europe. With clearance by the FDA in addition to the CE-mark for Europe, we will reach more than 75% of the global spine surgery market” says Linus Byström, CEO of Ortoma.

An FDA 510(k) cleared spine module significantly extends the market potential of OTS. The global spine surgery market is estimated to reach $14.3 billion in 2022 from $10.8 billion in 2017, at a CAGR of 5.8%. Factors driving the growth of the industry include growing incidence of spinal disorders, accessibility of minimally invasive spine surgical techniques, and the increase of Minimally Invasive Spine Surgery in health care centers. The spine module is built on the OTS platform that is assisted by AI and is designed to address the challenges of the spine surgery market.
