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, fluoroscopy images, or digitized landmarks of the anatomy. The AxiEM™ Imageless Hip Module for the StealthStation® is intended to precisely position instruments and implants in example procedures such as but not limited to: Orthopedic Procedures: Minimally Invasive Orthopedic Procedures Total Hip Replacement (Primary and Revision)
Device Description
The AxiEM™ Imageless Hip Module for the StealthStation® System provides a mechanism for the establishment of stereotactic coordinates without the use of a pre-operative or intra-operative image using electromagnetic navigation
More Information

No
The summary describes an electromagnetic navigation system for surgical guidance, which relies on tracking instruments relative to anatomical landmarks or models. There is no mention of AI/ML terms, image processing for automated analysis, or performance metrics typically associated with AI/ML models. The description focuses on the navigation technology itself.

No.
The device is described as an aid for precisely locating anatomical structures and positioning instruments and implants during surgical procedures, which are considered diagnostic or assistive functions rather than directly treating a disease or condition.

No

The device is an aid for precisely locating anatomical structures and positioning instruments and implants during surgical procedures. It does not provide a diagnosis.

No

The device description explicitly states it provides a "mechanism for the establishment of stereotactic coordinates without the use of a pre-operative or intra-operative image using electromagnetic navigation," implying the use of hardware components for electromagnetic tracking, not just software.

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

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are tests performed on samples taken from the human body, such as blood, urine, or tissue, to detect diseases, conditions, or infections.
  • Device Function: The description clearly states the StealthStation System and its AxiEM™ Imageless Hip Module are intended for precisely locating anatomical structures and positioning instruments and implants during surgical procedures. This is a surgical navigation and guidance system.
  • Lack of Biological Sample Analysis: There is no mention of the device analyzing biological samples or performing any kind of diagnostic test on bodily fluids or tissues.

The device's function is to aid in surgical procedures by providing spatial information and guidance, which falls under the category of surgical navigation or guidance systems, not in vitro diagnostics.

V. Description of Device Modification

The AxiEM™ Imageless Hip Module for the StealthStation® System provides a mechanism for the establishment of stereotactic coordinates without the use of a pre-operative or intra-operative image using electromagnetic navigation

VI. Substantial Equivalence

The primary difference between the Imageless Hip Module for the StealthStation® System and the AxiEM™ Imageless Hip Module for the StealthStation® System is that the AxiEM™ Imageless Hip Module utilizes electromagnetic navigation technology rather than optical tracking.

The primary difference between the AxiEM™ Imageless Knee Module for the StealthStation® System and the AxiEM ™ Imageless Hip Module for the StealthStation® System is that the subject device navigates instruments for use in hip procedures and the AxIEM™ Imageless Knee application navigates instruments for use in knee procedures.

As required by risk analysis, all verfication and validation activities will be performed by designated individuals and will demonstrate the safety and effectiveness of the device.

The information provided in this 510(k) application supports that the AxiEM™ Imageless Hip Module for the StealthStation® System is substantially equivalent to the Imageless Hip Module for the StealthStation® System (K052623).

VII. Indications for 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, fluoroscopy images, or digitized landmarks of the anatomy.
