Intended Use
Vital Navigation instruments are to be used during the preparation and placement of Vital and Vitality screws during spinal surgery to assist the surgeon in precisely locating anatomical structures in either open or minimally invasive procedures. Vital Navigation instruments are specifically 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 vertebra, can be identified relative to a CT or MR based model, fluoroscopy images, or digitized landmarks for the anatomy.
Device Description
The Vital Navigation System is comprised of nonsterile, reusable instruments including awls, probes, taps, and drivers that can be operated manually. These instruments are intended to be used with the Medtronic Synergy™ Experience StealthStation® System to assist surgeons in precisely locating anatomical structures in either open or minimally invasive procedures for preparation and placement of Vital and Vitality screws. This surgical imaging technology provides surgeons visualization for complex and MIS procedures and confirms the accuracy of advanced surgical procedures. Use of these navigation systems provides the surgeon access to real-time, multi-plane 3D images (and 2D images) providing confirmation of hardware placement.

No
The summary describes a navigation system that uses imaging modalities and digitized landmarks for surgical guidance, but there is no mention of AI or ML in the intended use, device description, or performance studies.

No.
The device components are surgical instruments used for guiding placement of screws, not directly treating a medical condition.

No

This device is described as surgical navigation instrumentation designed to assist surgeons in precisely locating anatomical structures for screw placement during spinal surgery. It provides real-time visualization and confirms hardware placement. It is an intraoperative guidance tool, not a diagnostic device that identifies or characterizes a medical condition.

No

The device description explicitly states that the Vital Navigation System is comprised of "nonsterile, reusable instruments including awls, probes, taps, and drivers," which are physical hardware components. While it is used in conjunction with a navigation system (which likely includes software), the device itself is not solely software.

Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states that the instruments are used during spinal surgery to assist the surgeon in precisely locating anatomical structures and preparing for and placing screws. This is an in vivo application, meaning it's used within a living organism during a surgical procedure.
  • Device Description: The description reinforces this by detailing the instruments (awls, probes, taps, drivers) used in conjunction with a navigation system during surgery.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: IVD devices are used in vitro (outside the body) to examine specimens (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening. This device does not perform any such analysis of biological specimens.

The device is a surgical navigation system and associated instruments, which falls under the category of surgical devices used to guide procedures within the body.

Intended Use / Indications for Use:

Vital Navigation System Instruments are to be used during the preparation and placement of Vital and Vitality screws during spinal surgery to assist the surgeon in precisely locating anatomical structures in either open or minimally invasive procedures. Vital Navigation System Instruments are specifically 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 vertebra, can be identified relative to a CT or MR based model, fluoroscopy images, or digitized landmarks for the anatomy.

Summary of Technological Characteristics:

The technological characteristics of the subject Vital Navigation System components remain the same as, or similar to, the predicate Orthofix Navigated Instrument System (K172115) in regards to intended use, indications for use, design, manufacturing methods, fundamental technology, and operational principles. The purpose of this submission is to seek clearance for the release of stereotactic instruments for the implantation of Vital and Vitality screws, which utilize the existing Medtronic StealthStation system.

Summary of Performance Data:

To support substantial equivalence, accuracy testing of the stereotactic instruments of the subject Vital Navigation System were assessed and tested appropriately in accordance with ASTM standards. The assessment concluded that the use of the proposed stereotactic instruments for the implantation of Vital and Vitality screws are safe and effective for use. Performance testing included tests per ASTM F2554-18 Standard Practice for Measurement of Positional Accuracy of Computer Assisted Surgical Systems. In all instances, the proposed instrument system functioned as intended and demonstrated substantial equivalence to the predicate device(s).

Predicate Devices:

Primary Predicate: Orthofix Navigated Instrument System (K172115)

Additional Predicates: Medtronic StealthStation (K140454)

Substantial Equivalence Conclusion:

The Vital Navigation System is substantially equivalent to the predicate system as a spinal fixation device in regards to intended use, indications for use, fundamental technology including design, materials, manufacturing methods, sterility, and operational principles. Furthermore, accuracy testing and other supporting information sufficiently demonstrate the substantial equivalence of the subject components to the Navigated Instrument System which has been cleared for stereotactic guidance during orthopedic surgery procedures. Based on this information, the subject device does not raise any new issues regarding the safety or efficacy when compared to its predicates.
