No
The summary describes image processing for dMRI tractography but does not mention the use of AI or ML algorithms for this or any other function.
No.
The device is an image-guided surgery system intended as an aid for locating anatomical structures during neurosurgical procedures. It does not directly provide therapy but rather assists the surgeon in performing therapeutic procedures.
No.
The device is an image-guided system intended as an aid for locating anatomical structures during neurosurgical procedures. It tracks the position of instruments relative to surgical anatomy using diagnostic or intraoperative images but does not diagnose medical conditions itself. It is a surgical navigation tool, not a diagnostic one.
No
The device description explicitly states that the software works in conjunction with an Image Guided System (IGS) which consists of clinical software, surgical instruments, a referencing system, and platform/computer hardware. This indicates it is part of a larger hardware/software system, not a standalone software-only device.
Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are devices intended for use in the collection, preparation, and examination of specimens taken from the human body (such as blood, urine, or tissue) to provide information for the diagnosis, treatment, or prevention of disease.
- Device Intended Use: The StealthStation System with StealthStation Cranial software is intended as an aid for locating anatomical structures in neurosurgical procedures. It uses imaging data (MRI, X-Ray, Nuclear Medicine) to guide surgical instruments in relation to the patient's anatomy during surgery.
- No Specimen Analysis: The device does not analyze specimens taken from the human body. It processes medical images and tracks the position of surgical instruments.
Therefore, the device's function and intended use fall outside the scope of In Vitro Diagnostics. It is a surgical navigation system.
N/A
Intended Use / Indications for Use
The StealthStation System, with StealthStation Cranial software, is intended as an aid for locating anatomical structures in either open or percutaneous neurosurgical procedures. Their use 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 the skull, can be identified relative to images of the anatomy.
This can include, but is not limited to, the following cranial procedures (including stereotactic frame-based and stereotactic frame alternatives-based procedures):
- Tumor resections
- General ventricular catheter placement
- Pediatric ventricular catheter placement
- Depth electrode, lead, and probe placement
- Cranial biopsies

Device Description
The StealthStation™ Cranial Software v2.0 works in conjunction with an Image Guided System (IGS) which consists of clinical software, surgical instruments, a referencing system and platform/computer hardware. Image guidance, also called navigation, tracks the position of instruments in relation to the surgical anatomy and identifies this position on diagnostic or intraoperative images of the patient. During surgery, positions of specialized surgical instruments are continuously updated on these images either by optical tracking or electromagnetic tracking.
Cranial software functionality is described in terms of its feature sets which are categorized as imaging modalities, registration, planning, interfaces with medical devices, and views. Feature sets include functionality that contributes to clinical decision making and are necessary to achieve system performance.
The changes to the currently cleared StealthStation™ S8 Cranial Software are as follows:
- Addition of white matter tractography (WMT) fiber tract creation for the brain referred to as diffusion Magnetic Resonance Imaging (dMRI) tractography. dMRI tractography will process diffusion-weighted MRI data into 3D fiber tract models that represent whitematter tracts. This will be marketed as a software option called Stealth™ Tractography.
- Addition of the Medtronic SenSight™ directional DBS lead to the existing . list of view overlays.
- Minor changes to the software were made to address user preferences and to fix ● minor anomalies.

Dear Carey Brenner:
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. Although this letter refers to your product as a device, please be aware that some cleared products may instead be combination products. The 510(k) Premarket Notification Database located at https://www.accessdata.fda.gov/scripts/cdrh/cfdocs/cfpmn/pmn.cfm identifies combination product submissions. 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.

X. Discussion of the Performance Testing
The following table summarizes the testing conducted on the StealthStation™ Cranial Software v2.0
Description
Under representative worst-case confiquration, the StealthStation™ S8 System with StealthStation™ Cranial Software v2.0 has demonstrated performance in 3D positional accuracy with a mean error ≤ 2.0 mm and in trajectory angle accuracy with a mean error of ≤ 2.0 degrees. This performance was determined using anatomically representative phantoms and utilizing a subset of system components and features that represent the worst-case combinations of all potential system components.
Software verification and validation testing verified the software requirements are met and the software performs as intended.
Summative usability validation and clinical expert evaluation were performed by representative users on datasets not used for development, composed of normal and abnormal brains in both pediatric and adult populations.
Summative evaluations demonstrated StealthStation™ Cranial Software v2.0 with Stealth™ Tractography has been found to be safe and effective for the intended users, uses and use environments. Performance testing demonstrated the design and implementation of the correct creation and rendering of dMRI tracts in views in the application and the functionality of the dMRI tractography feature requirements.
Clinical expert evaluations included white matter tract generation and editing which are new in the StealthStation™ S8 software. Clinical experts assessed the rendering of the white matter tracts and their relationship to other key structures with respect to treatment planning, intraoperative navigation and the potential to aid clinical decision making.
