Intended Use

The ClearPoint System is intended to provide stereotactic guidance for the placement and operation of instruments or devices during planning and operation of neurological procedures within the MRI environment and in conjunction with MR imaging. The ClearPoint System is intended as an integral part of procedures that have traditionally used stereotactic methodology. These procedures include biopsies, catheter and electrode insertion. The System is intended for use only with 1.5 Tesla MRI scanners.

Device Description

The ClearPoint System is comprised of a workstation laptop with workstation software, the SMARTGrid™ MRI-Guided Planning Grid, the SMARTFrame™ MRI-Guided Trajectory Frame, the SMARTFrame Accessory Kit, the SMARTFrame Handcontroller, and the MR Neuro Procedure Drape. The MR Neuro Procedure Drape was cleared for market via a separate 510(k) notice (K091343).

The SMARTGrid and associated Marking Tool are designed to assist the physician to precisely position the burr hole as called out in the trajectory planning software. The SMARTFrame is an adjustable trajectory frame that provides the guidance and fixation for neurosurgical tools. The MRI visible fluids of the Targeting Cannula along with the fiducial markers in the base of the frame allows for trajectory feedback when the physician views the MR images, makes changes, and confirms with subsequent MR images.

The ClearPoint System can be used with any MRI-compatible head fixation frame to immobilize the patient's head with respect to the scanner table, as well as with any imaging coil(s) that meet the physician's desired imaging quality.

AI/ML Overview

Here's a breakdown of the acceptance criteria and study information for the ClearPoint System, based on the provided text:

1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance

Acceptance CriteriaReported Device Performance
Accuracy (Radial/Depth Error)"targeting accuracy observed was as expected" and "at least as accurate as the NeXframe MR (used in conjunction with software on a cleared MRI scanner) in terms of radial error and depth error"
Targeting Error"error less than 1.5mm"
Functionality"the device functioned as intended"
Safety (MRI Compatibility)Device is "MRI Conditional as defined by ASTM F2503" with no added patient risk from electromagnetic fields, evidenced by verification testing for image distortion, force/torque, and RF heating.
Workflow Performance"at least comparable to the NeXframe MR... in terms of both accuracy and user ratings on a variety of procedure-related assessments."

2. Sample Sizes and Data Provenance

  • Test Set Sample Size:
    • MRI Test Device Accuracy Testing: Not explicitly stated, but implies multiple tests were conducted with a "Test Device representative of the devices to be used."
    • System Accuracy Comparison in a Skull Phantom: Not explicitly stated, but involved the ClearPoint System and the predicate Navigus II MR/NeXframe MR.
    • System Accuracy Comparison in a Cadaver: One cadaver was used.
  • Data Provenance: The studies were internal validation studies conducted by SurgiVision, Inc., using phantoms and a cadaver. No information is provided regarding country of origin or whether it was retrospective or prospective in the context of clinical patient data, as these were pre-clinical validation studies.

3. Number of Experts and Qualifications for Ground Truth (Test Set)

The document does not explicitly state the number or qualifications of experts used to establish ground truth for the test set. The studies described are technical performance assessments against pre-defined targets (phantoms) or comparisons to a predicate device in a cadaver, rather than diagnostic assessments requiring expert interpretation.

4. Adjudication Method (Test Set)

The document does not describe a formal adjudication method for ground truth in the test set. For the phantom studies, the ground truth was presumably the known pre-determined target or the expected performance based on the predicate device. For the cadaver study, it involved comparing the ClearPoint System's performance against the predicate Navigus II MR, likely using objective measurements.

5. Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) Comparative Effectiveness Study

No. The provided text refers to comparative effectiveness studies against a predicate device (Navigus II MR) and its performance, and user ratings on procedure-related assessments by a user, but not an MRMC study comparing human readers with and without AI assistance.

6. Standalone Performance (Algorithm Only)

Yes, a standalone performance assessment was conducted for the device's accuracy and functionality. The "ClearPoint System Accuracy Testing" and "System Accuracy Comparison in a Skull Phantom" sections describe tests of the system's ability to precisely position instruments and achieve targeting accuracy. These tests are focused on the device's inherent mechanical and software performance.

7. Type of Ground Truth Used

  • For Accuracy Testing:
    • MRI Test Device Accuracy Testing: A "known pre-determined target in a phantom."
    • System Accuracy Comparison in a Skull Phantom: Comparison against data previously obtained for the predicate Navigus II MR/NeXframe MR using the same model system. The predicate device's performance would serve as a de-facto ground truth or benchmark, assuming its accuracy had been previously established.
    • System Accuracy Comparison in a Cadaver: Comparison against the predicate Navigus II MR/NeXframe MR's performance in accessing targets in a cadaver head.

8. Sample Size for the Training Set

The document does not provide information on the sample size used for a "training set." The studies described are validation studies for the device's performance against established benchmarks or a predicate, not studies involving an AI or machine learning model that requires a dedicated training set.

9. How the Ground Truth for the Training Set Was Established

Not applicable, as no training set for an AI or machine learning model is mentioned in the provided text. The device is a "Neurological Stereotaxic Instrument" with associated software, not explicitly an AI-driven diagnostic or treatment planning system that would typically have a training set.

Consensus Standards

The ClearPoint System complies with the following recognized consensus standards:

  • NEMA PS 3.1 3.18 (2008) Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine . (DICOM) Set.
  • AAMI/ANSI/ISO 10993-1 Biological evaluation of medical devices Part 1: . Evaluation and testing.
  • ANSI/AAMI/ISO 1135-1 Sterilization of health care products Ethylene oxide -. Part 1: Requirements for development, validation, and routine control of sterilization process for medical devices.

Performance Data

SurgiVision has conducted software validation testing, as well as accuracy and safety testing of the ClearPoint System in multiple models and settings. In all instances, the device functioned as intended and targeting accuracy observed was as expected. This testing is described in detail below.

ClearPoint System Accuracy Testing

MRI Test Device Accuracy Testing

This study was intended to demonstrate that a known pre-determined target in a phantom can be localized by the distal tip of a Test Device representative of the devices to be used with the ClearPoint System. The system software went through all procedural steps during this testing with the exception of the Marking Grid / Burr Hole location. This study demonstrated that the SMARTFrame can deliver a simulated device to the same X, Y, and Z coordinates as the Stylet/Sheath, and can deliver a simulated device to the projected X, Y, and Z coordinates without Stylet/Sheath confirmation. Finally, testing with actual medical devices (instead of simulated devices) had the same results.

System Accuracy Comparison in a Skull Phantom - Navigus II MR vs. ClearPoint System

The goal of this comparison testing was to obtain accuracy results for the ClearPoint System using a skull phantom, and to compare those results with data previously obtained for the predicate Navigus II MR (also known as the "NeXframe MR") device using the same model system. The system software went through all steps during this testing with the exception of the Marking Grid / Burr Hole location.

It was concluded that the ClearPoint System is at least as accurate as the NeXframe MR (used in conjunction with software on a cleared MRI scanner) in terms of radial error and depth error when placing a device at a target site in a simulated head/brain phantom.

P. 7 of 7

System Accuracy Comparison in a Cadaver - Navigus II MR vs. ClearPoint System

A cadaver study was performed to compare the Navigus II MR ("NeXframe MR"), used in conjunction with software on a cleared MRI scanner, and the ClearPoint System for work flow performance and accuracy. The objective of the study was to perform procedures using the NeXframe MR and the ClearPoint System to access targets in a cadaver head. This testing demonstrated that the ClearPoint System was at least comparable to the NeXframe MR (used in conjunction with software on a cleared MRI scanner) in terms of both accuracy and user ratings on a variety of procedure-related assessments.

Conclusions

These test results demonstrate that the targeting accuracy of the ClearPoint System is as good as the Navigus II MR, when used in conjunction with MRI scanner software. The results support the safe and effective use of the ClearPoint System to guide a device to a brain target with an error less than 1.5mm.

ClearPoint System Safety Testing

Relevant components of the ClearPoint System were evaluated for interactions with the electromagnetic fields in an MRI suite. Specifically, the following interactions of the device components were evaluated: (1) image distortion; (2) force and torque; and (3) RF heating. With regard to image distortion, force and RF heating, the company conducted verification testing to ensure that the subject device components did not interfere with MR images and confirm their safety when used in conjunction with a 1.5T MRI scanner.

The company concluded that the ClearPoint System is MRI Conditional as defined by ASTM F2503. The analysis and measurements performed by the company demonstrated that the presence of the ClearPoint System components do not expose a patient to added risk from the electromagnetic fields in a 1.5T MRI system.

Substantial Equivalence

The ClearPoint System is as safe and effective as the Navigus II MR Trajectory Guide used in conjunction with MRI scanner software, such as the software package cleared with the Philips Medical Systems' Achieva, Intera and Panorama MR Systems. The ClearPoint System has the same intended use and similar indications, technological characteristics, and principles of operation as its predicate devices. The minor technological differences between the ClearPoint System and its predicate devices raise no new issues of safety or effectiveness. Performance data demonstrate that the ClearPoint System is as safe and effective as the predicate devices. Thus, the ClearPoint System is substantially equivalent.
