The Ziehm RFD 3D Interface is an accessory to the StealthStation™ System. It is intended to be used with the Ziehm Vision RFD 3D C-arm to automatically transfer to and register three dimensional images on the StealthStation™ System for use in imageguided spinal surgery.
The Ziehm RFD 3D Tracker works by making the Ziehm RFD 3D C-arm visible to the StealthStation™ Navigation Systems. The optical reflective markers in the tracker housings interact with the camera and software to identify the position and orientation of the C-arm detector in three-dimensional space.
When optical markers are inserted into the magnetic mounting sockets on the housing, the combination is then referred to as the tracker assembly. The optical markers interact with the camera and software to identify the position and orientation of the C-arm detector in three-dimensional space.
The integration interface (tracker and C-Arm) enables automatic transfer and registration of images received from Ziehm RFD 3D system within StealthStation system, specifically within StealthStation™ Spine software (K170011).
To enable automatic image registration, at the beginning of each scan the StealthStation™ camera captures the position of an optical tracker attached to the C-arm in relation to the patient reference frame. Upon image acquisition, the images from Ziehm RFD 3D system and associated calibration information are automatically transferred to the StealthStation™ system as a DICOM volume over an Ethernet cable. Upon completion of the DICOM volume transfer, the StealthStation™ software automatically registers the image relative to the patient reference frame.
The provided text describes the Ziehm RFD 3D Tracker, an accessory to the StealthStation System, intended for automatically transferring and registering three-dimensional images from the Ziehm Vision RFD 3D C-arm for image-guided spinal surgery.
Here's an analysis of the acceptance criteria and study data provided:
1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance
The acceptance criteria are not explicitly stated in a defined "acceptance criteria" section but can be inferred from the "Accuracy testing values" for the device. The "reported device performance" is the measured accuracy.
| Metric (Inferred Acceptance Criterion) | Reported Device Performance (Ziehm RFD 3D Tracker) | Predicate Device Performance (K022414) |
|---|---|---|
| Mean Accuracy | 0.79 mm | 1.3 mm |
| Upper Reliability (95% confidence) | 1.73 mm | 2.30 mm |
2. Sample Size Used for the Test Set and Data Provenance
The document does not explicitly state the sample size for the test set. It mentions "Testing conducted to demonstrate the performance," but details regarding the number of cases or scans are absent.
The data provenance (country of origin, retrospective/prospective) is not specified.
3. Number of Experts Used to Establish the Ground Truth for the Test Set and Qualifications of Those Experts
This information is not provided. The document does not describe how ground truth was established for the accuracy testing.
4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set
The document does not describe any adjudication method used for the test set.
5. If a Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) Comparative Effectiveness Study Was Done
No MRMC comparative effectiveness study is mentioned. The study focuses on the device's accuracy rather than human reader improvement with or without AI assistance.
6. If a Standalone (i.e., algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) Was Done
This is a standalone performance test. The "Ziehm RFD 3D C-arm Accuracy for StealthStation™ S8" test directly measures the accuracy of the device's integration and image registration, implying an assessment of the algorithm's performance without direct human intervention in the measurement process itself. The "human-in-the-loop" aspect during surgical use would be for navigation after image registration, not for the accuracy measurement of the registration step itself.
7. The Type of Ground Truth Used
The document does not explicitly state the type of "ground truth" used for accuracy testing. Given the nature of a stereotaxic instrument and accuracy testing in this context, it is highly likely that a precisely measured physical phantom or reference markers with known spatial relationships would be used as the ground truth. This would fall under a form of physical measurement/phantom-based ground truth, not expert consensus, pathology, or outcomes data.
8. The Sample Size for the Training Set
The document does not mention any training set or machine learning models. The device functionality described is related to image transfer and registration based on optical tracking and calibration, not a learned algorithm that requires a separate training set.
9. How the Ground Truth for the Training Set Was Established
Not applicable, as no training set is mentioned or implied.

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