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-based or MR-based model, fluoroscopy images, or digitized landmarks of the anatomy.
Device Description
The StealthStation® System includes hardware and software that enables realtime surgical navigation using radiological patient images. The navigation system creates a translation map between points in the patient anatomy and the corresponding points on radiologic images of the patient. Once this map is established (through a process called registration), the software can display the relative position of a tracked instrument to a representation of the patient's anatomy. In this way the images can help guide the surgeon's planning and approach. Prior to operating, the surgeon may then create, store, and simulate progression along one or more surgical trajectories. As an aid to visualization, the surgeon may also create and manipulate one or more 2D or 3D models of the anatomy. During surgery, the system tracks the position of specialized surgical instruments in or on the patient anatomy and continuously updates the instrument position on these images either by optical tracking or electromagnetic tracking. The operating system is software that controls the execution of programs, and that provides services such as resource allocation, scheduling, input/output control, and data management. This includes managing computer system hardware and software resources and providing a common set of services for software applications to interface with computing hardware.
More Information

Not Found

No
The description focuses on real-time surgical navigation using image registration and tracking, without mentioning AI/ML algorithms for image analysis, prediction, or decision support. The "Mentions AI, DNN, or ML" section is explicitly marked as "Not Found".

Yes
The device is intended as an aid for precisely locating anatomical structures during surgery, which is a therapeutic purpose. It guides the surgeon’s planning and approach aiding in the actual surgical procedure.

No

The device is described as aiding in precisely locating anatomical structures and guiding surgical procedures. It does not provide a diagnosis.

No

The device description explicitly states that the StealthStation® System includes both hardware and software.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is to aid in precisely locating anatomical structures during surgical procedures. This involves guiding the surgeon's actions on the patient's body.
  • Device Description: The system uses patient images (CT, MR, fluoroscopy) and tracks instruments in or on the patient anatomy to provide real-time navigation.
  • Lack of In Vitro Activity: IVD devices are designed to examine specimens taken from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) outside of the body to provide information about a patient's health. The StealthStation® System does not perform this type of analysis.

The StealthStation® System is a surgical navigation system, which falls under the category of medical devices used in vivo (within the living body) to assist with surgical procedures.

Dear Ms. Waite:

We have reviewed your Section 510(k) premarket notification of intent to market the device referenced above and have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to legally marketed predicate devices marketed in interstate commerce prior to May 28, 1976, the enactment date of the Medical Device Amendments, or to devices that have been reclassified in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (Act) that do not require approval of a premarket approval application (PMA). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. The general controls provisions of the Act include requirements for annual registration, listing of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration. Please note: CDRH does not evaluate information related to contract liability warranties. We remind you; however, that device labeling must be truthful and not misleading.

If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to additional controls.
