Intended Use

NaviENT is a computerized surgical navigation system intended to guide sinus and trans-nasal skull base endoscopic surgery by dynamically presenting the location of the tip of a surgical instrument mapped to a corresponding location in a pre-acquired CT scan of the patient's head. The device is intended for use by a qualified ENT surgeon (otolaryngologist).

NaviENT 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, can be identified relative to images of the anatomy. Surgery procedures include but are not limited to the following: transphenoidal procedures, maxillary antrostomnies, ethmoidectomies, sphenoidectomies, sphenoid explorations, turbinate resections, frontal sinusotomnies, intranasal procedures, intranasal tumor resections, and ENT related skull base surgery.

Device Description

NaviENT is a cart-based, computerized, image-guided navigational system, operating as a combined package for performing guided ENT surgery.

Using pre-acquired CT scan of the sinus, NaviENT provides the surgeon (usually otolaryngologists) with easy-to-use real-time guidance during sinus surgery. The key function performed by NaviENT during navigation is visualization of the instrument tip relative to the surrounding anatomy. This visualization assists the surgeon in performing the surgery.

NaviENT consists of four main components:

  1. NaviENT Cart
  2. Tracking System
  3. Laptop Computer
  4. NaviENT Instruments

Human Factors: Demonstrate substantial equivalence with regards to differences in system user interface and use scenarios from the predicate.Human factors report and validation testing provided sufficient data to support their conclusion of substantial equivalence with regards to differences in system user interface and use scenarios from the predicate.

2. Sample Size Used for the Test Set and Data Provenance:

  • Sample Size: For accuracy testing, 3 different human head models were used.
  • Data Provenance: The testing was conducted in an OR simulated environment. The country of origin of the data is not explicitly stated, but the submission is from ClaroNav Inc. in Toronto, Canada. Given the context of a 510(k) submission, this would be considered a prospective performance study designed for regulatory approval.

3. Number of Experts Used to Establish the Ground Truth for the Test Set and Qualifications of Those Experts:

This information is not explicitly provided in the document. The accuracy testing was done using "human head models," which typically implies a phantom-based or simulated setup for objective measurement rather than expert-derived ground truth on clinical data.

4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set:

This information is not explicitly provided in the document. For benchtop accuracy testing using physical models, an adjudication method like 2+1 or 3+1 by human experts is typically not necessary. The ground truth would be based on precise physical measurements of the models.

5. If a Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) Comparative Effectiveness Study Was Done, and the Effect Size of How Much Human Readers Improve with AI vs. Without AI Assistance:

An MRMC comparative effectiveness study is not mentioned in the document. The study described is a device performance and accuracy study, not one designed to evaluate the clinical effectiveness of human readers using the device.

6. If a Standalone (i.e., algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) Was Done:

The study described is a standalone performance study of the NaviENT system's accuracy and various other aspects (software, sterility, electrical safety, biocompatibility, human factors). It evaluates the device's inherent performance characteristics rather than how it performs with a human in a clinical setting. The device itself is described as a "computerized surgical navigation system," implying an algorithmic core.

7. The Type of Ground Truth Used (Expert Consensus, Pathology, Outcomes Data, etc.):

For the accuracy testing, the ground truth was established by physical measurements on human head models within an OR simulated environment. This is a form of engineered or phantom-based ground truth, where the true positions are precisely known or measurable. For other tests (sterilization, biocompatibility, electrical safety), the ground truth is against established ISO and IEC standards and their specific test methodologies.

8. The Sample Size for the Training Set:

This information is not provided in the document. The document describes a medical device with an image guidance component, but it does not detail any machine learning or AI models that would require a separate "training set" in the conventional sense. The "NaviENT software" processes data, but it's not indicated as a learning-based system with a distinct training phase in this submission.

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

As no training set is mentioned (see point 8), this information is not applicable/provided.

DEVICE DESCRIPTION

NaviENT is a cart-based, computerized, image-guided navigational system, operating as a combined package for performing guided ENT surgery.

Using pre-acquired CT scan of the sinus, NaviENT provides the surgeon (usually otolaryngologists) with easy-to-use real-time guidance during sinus surgery. The key function performed by NaviENT during navigation is visualization of the instrument tip relative to the surrounding anatomy. This visualization assists the surgeon in performing the surgery.

NaviENT consists of four main components:

Image /page/4/Picture/0 description: The image contains the logo for ClaroNav Kolahi. On the left side of the logo is a black and white circular design. To the right of the design is the text "ClaroNav" in black, and below that is the text "Kolahi" in white on a black background.

    1. NaviENT Cart: Its main purpose is to hold the laptop computer and the tracking camera. The cart is light weight and the arm height can be adjusted. This allows the user to easily position the system in the operating room.
    1. Tracking System: It contains a stereoscopic camera and an IR LED light source, both operating in the near infrared (NIR) light spectrum. The tacking system identifies and pin-points checkered marker patterns affixed on the NaviENT instruments.
    1. Laptop Computer: The NaviENT software runs on a 15.4" Apple Mac Book Pro laptop. Windows 10 operating system is installed on the laptop. The tracking camera's live video stream is received by the laptop via a thunderbolt port and is processed by the NaviENT application.
    1. NaviENT Instruments: The instruments are marked with Black & White patterns which make them trackable by the NaviENT Tracking system. It includes 950-NE-PT Patient Tracker, 950-NE-RP Registration Pointer, 950-NE-FS Frontal Seeker, 950-NE-MS Maxillary Seeker, 950-NE-BP Bayonet Probe, 950-NE-TC Tip Calibrator and 950-NE-UT Universal Tag.

NaviENT Clinical Workflow:

NaviENT Software workflow provides step by step instructions on how to set up and use the system in the Operating room. The software has been pre-installed on the NaviENT laptop. The shortcut for the NaviENT application is placed on the desktop. When started it opens the data browser window, allowing the user to load, import and delete patient image data. Once data is loaded, NaviENT operation proceeds sequentially through 5 stages as follows:

    1. Verify: This stage displays the 3D data as well as 2D axial, coronal and sagittal reformatted slice views and allows the user to rotate, zoom and explore the data.
    1. Mark Landmarks: This stage walks the user through selecting a few anatomical landmarks on the 3D scan. The names of each landmark and an illustration of its approximate locations are displayed for convenience.
    1. Set Up: This stage provides step by step instructions to place the patient tracker and position the tracking device. The live video stream displayed on the side panel makes it very intuitive to position the camera.
    1. Registration: NaviENT uses landmark based registration followed by trace based registration. This stage provides step by step instructions to perform registration process.
    1. Navigation: Presents real-time location of the instrument tip super imposed on the 2D images of sagittal, axial and coronal views of the patient scan.

Determination of Substantial Equivalence

NaviENT is identical to the predicate device in indications for use, intended target populations, the target users, the principles of operation and the indications for use.

NaviENT has very similar technological characteristics to the predicate device. The supported Tracking device, image modality, registration techniques and software are very similar. Minor technological differences between NaviENT and predicate device include:

  • . Markers: Both NaviENT and the predicate device are using Optical Tracking system with very similar principle of operation. The only minor difference is that, NPU is using spherical shape marker where as NaviENT is using multi-facet flat markers. This difference does not impact the safety and effectiveness of either device in performing its intended use.
  • Instruments: NaviENT provides dedicated instruments to perform the Registration process, while the predicate device uses its Navigation Probe to perform registration process as well. NaviENT provides a dedicated instrument to perform Calibration process, while the predicate device uses its Patient Tracker not only to track the patient but also to perform the Calibration process. NaviENT also provides additional dedicated instrument of Maxillary Ostium Seeker, while the predicate does not provide such an instrument. The dedicated instruments improves the usability. NaviENT does not provide Microscope Probe and Optical Instrument Tracker.

{10}------------------------------------------------

Image /page/10/Picture/0 description: The image contains a logo with two distinct parts. On the left, there is a circular graphic with alternating black and white sections, resembling a stylized target or compass. To the right of the graphic, the text "ClaroNav" is displayed above the word "Kolahi", with the latter set against a solid black background.

  • While the predicate device permits using MRI data and NaviENT does not, equivalence is maintained for all cases where CT data input is used.
    The above design differences relate solely to the usability aspects of the devices, not to the core functions they perform, which are substantially identical. These differences do not impact the safety and effectiveness of either device in performing its intended use.

In conclusion, the systems are substantially equivalent.

The following safety and performance testing was conducted:

    1. Software Validation: Successful testing verifying the software requirements are met and software performs as intended.
    1. Cleaning and Sterilization: A representative sample of the re-usable NaviENT components were tested to validate that the components can withstand the recommended cleaning, disinfection and sterilization processes and that a sterility assurance level (SAL) of 10-6 can be achieved using the recommended sterilization protocols. The sterilization validation testing was conducted according to ISO 17665-1:2006 and it validated that the re-usable NaviENT components can be sterilized to reach an SAL of 10-6.
    1. Bench Testing: All planned performance tests were executed as planned, and all of them succeeded in meeting their acceptance criteria. Accuracy testing was conducted to ensure that the NaviENT system met the prescribed requirement for accuracy. The NaviENT system demonstrates performance in 3D positional accuracy with average error of less than 2mm. this performance was determined using 3 different human head models in an OR simulated environment with all of the typical navigation instruments.
    1. Electrical and EMC Testing: The NaviENT system was tested for electrical safety and essential performance according to the requirements IEC 60601-1:2005 In addition, NaviENT passed all the relevant requirements of the IEC 60601-1-2:2007 and IEC 62471:2006 standards demonstrating that the device meets the applicable electromagnetic compatibility requirements as well as and that the lights used in the NaviENT system are safe to be used as intended.
    1. Biocompatibility Testing: The patient contacting NaviENT components were tested according to the requirements of ISO 10993-1 and were deemed to be biocompatible.
    1. Human Factors: NaviENT human factors report and validation testing provided sufficient data to support their conclusion of substantial equivalence with regards to differences in system user interface and use scenarios from the predicate.

CONCLUSION

NaviENT is identical to the predicate device in indications for use, intended target populations, the target users, the principles of operation and the indications for use.

NaviENT has very similar technological characteristics to the predicate device. The supported Tracking device, image modality, registration techniques and software are very similar. The only differences relate to minor differences in the markers used by the tracking devices; the instruments provided and the type of image data input. These differences do not impact the safety and effectiveness of either device in performing its intended use.

In conclusion, NaviENT and its identified predicate systems are substantially equivalent.
