Intended Use

The 7D Surgical System is a stereotaxic image guidance system intended for the spatial positioning and orientation of neurosurgical instruments used by surgeons. The system is also intended to be used as the primary surgical luminaire during image guided surgery. The device is indicated for posterior approach spine surgery where reference to a rigid anatomical structure can be identified.

Device Description

The 7D Surgical System is intended for use as a stereotaxic image guided surgical navigation system during spine surgery. The system provides image registration between preoperative scan data and data captured intraoperatively from the 7D Surgical System structured light scanner and/or user selected points. The system provides guidance data by tracking and displaying the position and orientation of wireless optically tracked Spinal Instruments including the 7D Surgical Pedicle Probe and Awl, now including the Medtronic Universal Drill Guide, relative to the patient. Position and orientation data of tracked Spinal Instruments are linked to the preoperative scan data using the 7D Surgical System workstation. The system is intended to be used as the primary surgical luminaire for image guided surgery. Similar to the Medtronic Stealth Station, the system tracks the position and orientation of the Medtronic Universal Drill Guide.

The system is intended to be used for both image fusion and navigation for neurological applications where reference to a rigid structure can be identified relative to a preoperative image data of the anatomy.

The Tracking System enables the surgeon to view the position and orientation of 7D Surgical System Spinal Instruments relative to registered preoperative image data while performing the surgical procedure. Each of the 7D Surgical System instruments, including the Medtronic Universal Drill Guide, utilizes commercially available passive reflective marker spheres [Manufactured by NORTHERN DIGITAL, INC.; 510(k) K033621] to determine the position and orientation of instruments. Each tracked Instruments requires a unique marker position configuration to enable the tracking system to distinguish the tools from one to the other.

The Software links all system components and displays navigational data to the surgeon. lt provides methods for loading preoperative scans and guides the surgeon through the process of surface model creation, structured light acquisition, registration verification, and navigation.

Study Details

  1. Sample size used for the test set and the data provenance:

    • Sample Size: Not explicitly stated as a numerical sample size. The testing was conducted on "phantom models" in a "clinical simulated environment." The number of phantom models or specific test cases performed for accuracy is not quantified.
    • Data Provenance: The study was "non-clinical" and involved "phantom models." There is no indication of human patient data (retrospective or prospective) or country of origin for such data.
  2. Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts:

    • Not applicable as the study was non-clinical, using phantom models. Ground truth for accuracy was established through physical measurements ("measured physically or otherwise") rather than expert consensus on medical images or clinical outcomes.
  3. Adjudication method (e.g., 2+1, 3+1, none) for the test set:

    • Not applicable as the study was non-clinical, focusing on device accuracy measured against a physical ground truth, not requiring expert adjudication of interpretations.
  4. If a multi-reader multi-case (MRMC) comparative effectiveness study was done, If so, what was the effect size of how much human readers improve with AI vs without AI assistance:

    • No. This was a non-clinical performance study of a surgical navigation system's accuracy, not an MRMC study comparing human reader performance with or without AI assistance.
  5. If a standalone (i.e., algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done:

    • Yes, in a sense. The "Non-Clinical Accuracy" testing evaluated the system's accuracy (algorithm and hardware) in determining positional information against a ground truth on phantom models. While a human surgeon would ultimately use the system clinically, this specific test isolated the device's inherent navigational accuracy.
  6. The type of ground truth used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc):

    • The ground truth for accuracy testing involved comparing the position reported by the image-guided surgery system to the "ground truth position measured physically or otherwise." This implies a physical measurement or established reference standard on the phantom models.
  7. The sample size for the training set:

    • Not applicable. This document describes verification and validation activities for a new software compatibility feature (Medtronic Universal Drill Guide) for an existing surgical navigation system. It does not refer to a machine learning model that would require a distinct "training set."
  8. How the ground truth for the training set was established:

    • Not applicable, as there is no mention of a training set for a machine learning algorithm.

Product510(k)
Medtronic StealthStation SystemK133444
Envision 3D: Image Guidance SystemK162375

The indications for use of the subject device 7D Surgical System are equivalent to the predicate device K133444 and K162375. Furthermore, the technological characteristics of the 7D Surgical System are substantially equivalent. The differences in the

{4}------------------------------------------------

technological characteristics do not raise new questions of safety and effectiveness. Consequently, the subject is substantially equivalent to the predicate device.

4. Purpose of Submission

The proposed software change for the 7D Surgical System is intended to enable compatibility with the Medtronic Universal Drill Guide Set. The Universal Drill Guide Set is part of the Medtronic Spinal Navigation Instrument product line which assists surgeons with positioning of a drill to create the canal for screw placement. Similar to the 7D Surgical System, these stereotactic instruments are optically tracked by reflective marker spheres to locate the instruments' position and orientation relative to the patient's preoperative image. The Universal Drill Guide is currently 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.

5. Indications for Use

The 7D Surgical System is a stereotaxic image guidance system intended for the spatial positioning and orientation of neurosurgical instruments used by surgeons. The system is also intended to be used as the primary surgical luminaire during image guided surgery. The device is indicated for posterior approach spine surgery where reference to a rigid anatomical structure can be identified.

6. Device Description and Technical Comparison to Predicate Devices

The 7D Surgical System is intended for use as a stereotaxic image guided surgical navigation system during spine surgery. The system provides image registration between preoperative scan data and data captured intraoperatively from the 7D Surgical System structured light scanner and/or user selected points. The system provides guidance data by tracking and displaying the position and orientation of wireless optically tracked Spinal Instruments including the 7D Surgical Pedicle Probe and Awl, now including the Medtronic Universal Drill Guide, relative to the patient. Position and orientation data of tracked Spinal Instruments are linked to the preoperative scan data using the 7D Surgical System workstation. The system is intended to be used as the primary surgical luminaire for image guided surgery. Similar to the Medtronic Stealth Station, the system tracks the position and orientation of the Medtronic Universal Drill Guide.

The system is intended to be used for both image fusion and navigation for neurological applications where reference to a rigid structure can be identified relative to a preoperative image data of the anatomy.

The Tracking System enables the surgeon to view the position and orientation of 7D Surgical System Spinal Instruments relative to registered preoperative image data while

{5}------------------------------------------------

performing the surgical procedure. Each of the 7D Surgical System instruments, including the Medtronic Universal Drill Guide, utilizes commercially available passive reflective marker spheres [Manufactured by NORTHERN DIGITAL, INC.; 510(k) K033621] to determine the position and orientation of instruments. Each tracked Instruments requires a unique marker position configuration to enable the tracking system to distinguish the tools from one to the other.

The Software links all system components and displays navigational data to the surgeon. lt provides methods for loading preoperative scans and guides the surgeon through the process of surface model creation, structured light acquisition, registration verification, and navigation.

7. Safety Considerations
