The description focuses on optical tracking of physical instruments using reflective spheres and a camera system, with no mention of AI or ML for image processing, data analysis, or decision support.
No
The device is described as an accessory (tracker) for surgical navigation systems, enabling tracking of instruments during spinal procedures. It does not directly provide therapy or affect the body's structure or function for therapeutic purposes.
No
The device is an accessory (tracker) for a surgical navigation system, enabling the tracking of instruments during spinal fusion and interbody procedures. It does not diagnose medical conditions.
No
The device description explicitly states that the NavLock Trackers are physical components with posts to affix reflective spheres, which are visible to the StealthStation camera. This indicates a hardware component, not a software-only device.
No, 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 NavLock™ Trackers are described as devices that enable the navigation of surgical instruments during a spinal fusion procedure. They are used in conjunction with a navigation system (StealthStation) to track the position of instruments within the patient's body.
- Lack of Biological Sample Analysis: The description does not mention the analysis of any biological samples from the patient. The device's function is purely related to tracking the physical location of surgical tools.
Therefore, based on the provided information, the NavLock™ Trackers fall under the category of surgical navigation or instrument tracking devices, not in vitro diagnostics.

Device Description
The NavLock Trackers are compatible with the StealthStation Systems and are used in conjunction with various navigated spine instrumentation for optical navigation. To enable navigation compatibility, the proximal ends of the instruments are designed to fit into the NavLock Trackers for optical navigation. The NavLock Trackers have posts to affix reflective spheres, which are visible to the StealthStation camera as a means of tracking the position of the attached surgical instrument.

Summary of Performance Studies
There have been no significant design changes to the NavLock Trackers since K124004. As such performance testing is not needed to demonstrate substantial equivalence in the current submission. Testing conducted to support the release of NavLock Trackers compatible instrumentation is summarized as follows:
| Test | Description |
|---|---|
| Navigation Accuracy | Verifies 2D and 3D navigational accuracy of the subject instruments with respect to navigational accuracy requirements |
| Anatomical Simulated Use | Validates that the product appropriately satisfies the user needs by performing simulated use testing per the instructions outlined in the surgical technique. |
| Navigation Simulated Use | Demonstrates that the navigation-specific procedural steps can be executed to navigate a spinal procedure. |
| CAD Model Evaluation | Confirms the instrument CAD models are accurately reflected in the application software compared to the physical instrument. |
| Implant/Instrument Mating Conditions | For instruments that navigate placement of an implant, verifies design requirements associated with assembly, fit, and function of the navigated instruments with the implant system |
| Software/Instrument Integration Functional Testing | Confirms that the spine tools package has met the required interface needs of the spine application software with predetermined test items such as installation, system configuration, tool verification and functionality in the software application |

Dear Nicole Zimmerman:
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. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 898. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register.
Please be advised that FDA's issuance of a substantial equivalence determination does not mean that FDA has made a determination that your device complies with other requirements of the Act or any Federal statutes and regulations administered by other Federal agencies. You must comply with all the Act's requirements, including, but not limited to: registration and listing (21 CFR Part 807); labeling (21 CFR Part 801); medical device reporting (reporting of medical device-
