Intended Use

NuVasive® Navigation Instruments are intended to be used during the preparation and placement of NuVasive screws (Armada, Reline, Precept, MAS PLIF, and VuePoint fixation systems) during spinal surgery to assist the surgeon in precisely locating anatomical structures in either open or minimally invasive procedures. NuVasive® Navigation Instruments are designed for use with the Medtronic StealthStation System, which 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 a skull, a long bone, or vertebra, can be identified relative to a CT or MR based model, fluoroscopy images, or digitized landmarks of the anatomy.

Device Description

NuVasive Navigation Instruments are manual, non-sterile, re-usable, surgical instruments intended for use with Medtronic StealthStation System to assist surgeons in precisely locating anatomical structures in either open, minimally invasive, or percutaneous procedures for preparation and placement of NuVasive screws during spinal surgery.

AI/ML Overview

The document provided does not contain a study that proves the device meets specific acceptance criteria in terms of reported device performance based on quantitative metrics. The FDA 510(k) summary focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to a predicate device rather than providing a detailed performance study with acceptance criteria.

The "Performance Data" section (G) on page 4 mentions "Accuracy testing," "Compatibility testing," and "Performance testing" were performed, and concludes that "results demonstrate that the subject NuVasive Navigation Instruments are substantially equivalent to the predicate." However, it does not provide details about the specific acceptance criteria for these tests, the reported performance metrics, the sample sizes, data provenance, ground truth establishment, or any information related to expert involvement or comparative effectiveness.

Therefore, I cannot provide the requested information from the given document as it is not present.

Dear Manthan Damani:

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 devicerelated adverse events) (21 CFR 803); good manufacturing practice requirements as set forth in the quality systems (QS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820); and if applicable, the electronic product radiation control provisions (Sections 531-542 of the Act); 21 CFR 1000-1050.
