Intended Use
The StealthStation® System is intended as an aid for precisely locating anatomical structures in either open or percutaneous procedures. The StealthStation® System is indicated for any medical condition in which the use of stereotactic surgery may be appropriate, and where reference to a rigid anatomical structure, such as the skull, a long bone, or vertebra, can be identified relative to a CT or MR based model or fluoroscopy images of the anatomy. Example procedures include, but are not limited to: Cranial Procedures: Cranial biopsies Tumor resections Craniotomies/ Craniectomies Skull base procedures Thalamotomies/Pallidotomies Pituitary Tumor Removal CSF Leak Repair Spinal Procedures: Spinal Implant, such as pedicle screw procedures ENT Procedures: Transphenoidal procedures Intranasal procedures Sinus procedures, such as Maxillary antrostomies, Ethmoidectomies, Sphenoidotomies/Sphenoid explorations, Turbinate resections, and Frontal sinusotomies Orbital Decompression Procedures Optic Nerve Decompression Procedures Polyposis Procedures Endoscopic Dacryocystorhinostomy Encephalocele Procedures Orthopedic Indications: Total Knee Arthroplasty (Primary and Revision) Unicompartmental Knee Arthroplasty
Device Description
This submission describes updates made to the StealthStation® System to include an optional software package that enables a user to merge a patient's pre-operative dataset with a patient's intra-operative dataset.

No
The summary describes a navigation system that merges pre-operative and intra-operative datasets. There is no mention of AI, ML, or related concepts in the intended use, device description, or specific sections for AI/ML information. The core function appears to be image registration and navigation, not AI-driven analysis or decision support.

No.
The device is described as an aid for precisely locating anatomical structures during surgical procedures, not as a device that directly treats a condition.

No
The device aids in precisely locating anatomical structures for surgical procedures, it does not diagnose medical conditions.

No

The device description explicitly states it is an "optional software package" that is part of the larger StealthStation® System, which is a navigation system used in surgical procedures and relies on hardware components for tracking and guidance.

Based on the provided information, the StealthStation® System is not an In Vitro Diagnostic (IVD) device.

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states that the system is an "aid for precisely locating anatomical structures in either open or percutaneous procedures." This describes a surgical navigation system used during a medical procedure on a patient.
  • Device Description: The description focuses on software updates for merging pre-operative and intra-operative datasets, which is consistent with a surgical navigation system.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: IVD devices are used to examine specimens (like blood, urine, or tissue) outside of the body to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening. The StealthStation® System does not perform this function. It uses imaging data of the patient's anatomy to guide surgical procedures.

Therefore, the StealthStation® System falls under the category of a surgical navigation or guidance system, not an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

Intended Use / Indications for Use

The indications for use for the FluoroMerge™ Software are identical to the StealthStation® System indications for use. The indications for use are as follows:

The StealthStation® System is intended as an aid for precisely locating anatomical structures in either open or percutaneous procedures. The StealthStation® System is indicated for any medical condition in which the use of stereotactic surgery may be appropriate, and where reference to a rigid anatomical structure, such as the skull, a long bone, or vertebra, can be identified relative to a CT or MR based model or fluoroscopy images of the anatomy.

Example procedures include, but are not limited to:

Cranial Procedures: Cranial biopsies Craniotomies/Craniectomies Skull base procedures Thalamotomies/Pallidotomies Pituitary tumor removal CSF Leak Repair

Spinal Procedures: Spinal implant procedures, such as pedicle screw procedures

ENT Procedures: Transphenoidal procedures Intranasal procedures Sinus procedures, such as Maxillary antrostomies, Ethmoidectomies, Sphenoidotomies /Sphenoid explorations, Turbinate resections, and Frontal sinusotomies Orbital Decompression Procedures Optic Nerve Decompression Procedures Polyposis Procedures Endoscopic Dacryocystorhinostomy Encephalocele Procedures
