The SPiN Thoracic Navigation System enables marker placement in soft lung tissue.
The SPiN Thoracic Navigation System is an accessory for a CT system that utilizes electromagnetic tracking technology to locate and navigate endoscopic tools, catheters and guidewires relative to a CT-based model of the tracheobronchial tree. Due to system use to locate structures in soft tissue. the system incorporates a method of gating the location information on soft tissue to the patient's respiration. The SPiN Thoracic Navigation System consists of an EM tracking accessory, a patient referencing system, an EM field generator and tracking system, software, a computer system, and a pulmonary pathway reconstruction and planning workstation. The EM tracking accessories that can be used with the SPiN Thoracic Navigation System include Veran's Always-On Tip Tracked™ Guidewire, Sheath, Aspiration Needle, Brush, Forceps or View Peripheral Catheter. The SPiN Thoracic Navigation System also enables the placement of markers in soft tissue to guide radiosurgery and thoracic surgery. The SPiN View console/View Optical Probe is provided as an additional accessory for video visualization and is a complement to the EM tracking of the View Peripheral Catheter, enhancing the navigation of the device through the vocal chords and tracheobronchial tree.

2. Sample Size Used for the Test Set and Data Provenance
The document does not explicitly state the sample size used for the test set in terms of human subjects or patient data. The performance evaluations described are primarily focused on system-level testing, phantom studies, and accessory validation.
- Test Set (Phantom): Used a "static phantom" for navigational accuracy testing. The number of samples/runs on the phantom is not specified.
- Data Provenance: The document does not provide information about the country of origin of data or if it was retrospective or prospective, as the testing described focuses on device performance rather than patient studies.
3. Number of Experts Used to Establish Ground Truth for the Test Set and Qualifications
The document does not mention the use of experts to establish ground truth for the test set in the context of clinical interpretation or diagnostic accuracy. The ground truth for the technical performance tests (e.g., electrical safety, EMC, sterilization, phantom accuracy) would be defined by engineering specifications and objective measurements against those specifications.
4. Adjudication Method (for the test set)
No adjudication method is described, as the testing outlined is technical verification and validation against objective criteria rather than subjective human interpretation.
5. Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) Comparative Effectiveness Study
No multi-reader multi-case (MRMC) comparative effectiveness study is mentioned in the provided text. The document focuses on the technical performance and safety of the device itself, rather than comparing human reader performance with and without AI assistance.
6. Standalone (Algorithm Only) Performance Study
The document describes "Software verification and validation testing" which evaluated the algorithms' performance in fulfilling requirements and demonstrating navigational accuracy on a static phantom. This constitutes a standalone performance evaluation of the algorithms and system components in a controlled environment.
7. Type of Ground Truth Used
The ground truth used for the described studies is primarily:
- Engineering Specifications/Requirements: For software, electrical safety, EMC, and overall system functionality, the ground truth is defined by the established technical specifications and regulatory standards (e.g., IEC 60601 series).
- Physical Measurements: For navigational accuracy, the ground truth would be precise physical measurements on the static phantom.
- Laboratory Analysis: For sterilization and biocompatibility, the ground truth is determined by validated laboratory test methods and results (e.g., confirming sterility, assessing material compatibility).
8. Sample Size for the Training Set
The document does not provide information on the sample size for any training set for machine learning models. The device relies on electromagnetic tracking technology, not explicitly stated machine learning models that would require a "training set" in the conventional sense of AI development for image interpretation. The software development process mentioned involves "Software Requirement Specifications" and "Software Design Specifications," which guide traditional software engineering.
9. How Ground Truth for the Training Set Was Established
As no training set for machine learning is explicitly mentioned, the establishment of ground truth for a training set is not applicable to the information provided.

4. Device Description
The SPiN Thoracic Navigation System is an accessory for a CT system that utilizes electromagnetic tracking technology to locate and navigate endoscopic tools, catheters and guidewires relative to a CT-based model of the tracheobronchial tree. Due to system use to locate structures in soft tissue. the system incorporates a method of gating the location information on soft tissue to the patient's respiration. The SPiN Thoracic Navigation System consists of an EM tracking accessory, a patient referencing system, an EM field generator and tracking system, software, a computer system, and a pulmonary pathway reconstruction and planning workstation. The EM tracking accessories that can be used with the SPiN Thoracic Navigation System include Veran's Always-On Tip Tracked™ Guidewire, Sheath, Aspiration Needle, Brush, Forceps or View Peripheral Catheter. The SPiN Thoracic Navigation System also enables the placement of markers in soft tissue to guide radiosurgery and thoracic surgery. The SPiN View console/View Optical Probe is provided as an additional accessory for video visualization and is a complement to the EM tracking of the View Peripheral Catheter, enhancing the navigation of the device through the vocal chords and tracheobronchial tree.
5. Indications for Use
The SPiN Thoracic Navigation System is a stereotactic accessory for Computed Tomography (CT) and endoscopic bronchoscope Systems. The SPiN Thoracic Navigation System is indicated for displaying:
- . An interventional instrument such as a biopsy needle, an aspiration needle, or ablation needle on a computer monitor that also displays a CT-based model of the target organ(s).
- . Images of the tracheobronchial tree to aid a physician in guiding endoscopic tools, catheters or guidewires in the pulmonary tract.
The SPiN Thoracic Navigation System compensates for a patient's respiratory phases.
The SPiN Thoracic Navigation System is intended for use in clinical interventions and for anatomical structures where computed tomography and/or endoscopic bronchoscopy are currently used for visualizing such procedures.

6. Summarv of Characteristics to Predicate Device
The SPiN Thoracic Navigation System and the predicate devices have the same intended use, use CT data for creating reference images, have electromagnetic tracking functionality, use instrumentation with sensors for navigation, have similar positioning accuracy, use pulmonary pathway and reconstruction software for planning, reconstruct CT datasets for pathway reconstruction and complete pathway planning through point selection on a 3D model of the tracheobronchial tree for pathway creation. The SPiN Thoracic Navigation System and the SPiN Drive additionally both have an intended use for percutaneous (needle) navigation, autodetection of reference markers on the CT image and patient, complete a geometry check for tool verification and gate navigation to the effects of respiration. The differences between the SPiN Thoracic Navigation System and the predicate devices include:
- . Clarification of the indications for use to include intended use of enabling marker placement within soft lung tissue.
- . The update of the SPiN Drive software with a new look/user experience and the ability to run on a Linux computer.
{5}------------------------------------------------
- The introduction of a new electrical cart.
- o Addition of the SPiN Perc Biopsy Needle Guide Kit, a convenience kit for percutaneous navigation of instrumentation during a SPiN Perc procedure.
- o Addition of the Always-On Tip Tracked 22ga ANSO SPiNFlex Needle and Extended Working Channel (EWC), ethylene oxide sterilized accessories (the EWC has no sensor and is a non-navigated accessory).
