Premarket evidence — what FDA accepted

Device typehardware with ml
source quote (p.4)
“The TMINI® Miniature Robotic System is indicated as a stereotaxic instrumentation system for total knee replacement (TKA) surgery. It is to assist the surgeon by providing software-defined spatial boundaries for orientation and reference information to identifiable anatomical structures for the accurate placement of knee implant components. The TMINI® Miniature Robotic System (Software Modifications) like its predicate, the TMINI® Miniature Robotic System consists of three primary components: a three-dimensional, graphical, Preoperative Planning Workstation (TPLAN® Planning Station) including THINK Case Manager (TCM) the web-based method for surgeons to review, approve and download approved surgical plans, an Optical Tracking Navigation Console (TNav) and a robotically controlled hand-held tool (TMINI Robot) that assists the surgeon in preparing the bone for implantation of TKA components.”
AlgorithmSoftware-defined spatial boundaries for orientation and reference information to anatomical structures; uses CT images to create 3D models for surgical planning; compares preoperatively determined landmarks to intraoperatively identified landmarks for patient bone registration; includes data logging updates and software enhancements to improve tibial registration performance.

“The TMINI® Miniature Robotic System is indicated as a stereotaxic instrumentation system for total knee replacement (TKA) surgery. It is to assist the surgeon by providing software-defined spatial boundaries for orientation and reference information to identifiable anatomical structures for the accurate placement of knee implant components. The purpose of this submission is to introduce modifications to the TMINI® Miniature Robotic System, which includes data logging updates, report updates to open-source software, software enhancements to improve tibial registration performance, and cybersecurity updates. Additional logging has been incorporated into the software logs, and tibial registration has been optimized to increase the success rate of registration while maintaining the same level of performance. The TPLAN Planning Station uses preoperative CT scans of the operative leg to create 3D surface models for case templating and intraoperative registration purposes. Preoperatively determined landmarks are compared to intraoperatively identified landmarks to complete patient bone registration.”

Recalls attributed to this device

  • Recalling firm matches this device's applicant (Think Surgical, Inc.) — same firm and product code, not necessarily this device · initiated 2026-05-08

    Due to manufacturing/design issue where the knob on the tracking array may loosen causing potential misalignment of the array.

    recall event 99219 (openFDA)

Recall and MAUDE counts are product-code-level (reports aren't reliably attributable to one device); a recall is shown as device-attributed only when the recall record itself lists this clearance number. Signals are descriptive observables with sources — never a judgment that the device is unsafe or drifting. Snapshot 2026-08-26.

Reimbursement — how devices like this got paid

Not yet tracked — no payment pathway indexed for this clearance (the reimbursement corpus is a growing seed set).

Applicable FDA guidance — what the submission is measured against

FDA guidance documents and guiding principles applicable to 510(k) AI/ML devices in the Neurology panel. A curated reference index, not legal or regulatory advice — each item states its own status, and a draft is never binding.

Applicability is derived from the device's FDA advisory panel and pathway — cross-cutting guidances apply to every AI/ML device; panel-specific ones are flagged. Titles, dates, and links verified against fda.gov as of July 2026.
