Intended Use

The Midas Rex Motor is designed for skull base and other microsurgical applications, including otolaryngology, ear, nose and throat, craniofacial and maxillofacial specifications in which a small, lightweight, high speed bone dissection system is desired.

Device Description

Ergonomically, designed lightweight motor featuring small, overall diameter for comfort and ease of handling. The Midas Rex III motor operates at variable speeds. Operating pressures range from 20-150 psi (2-10 bar), with a suggested operating pressure of 100 psi (6.9 bar). The Midas Rex III has a standard quick disconnect GS dissecting tool and tube attachment system, which includes a fixed or rotating footed attachment, the telescoping microsystems, and the micro mini drill guide.

AI/ML Overview

This document is a 510(K) summary for a medical device (Midas Rex Motor (Midas III) - a pneumatic cranial drill motor). The provided text does not contain any information about acceptance criteria, device performance metrics, or study designs that would typically be found in a clinical study report or a more detailed regulatory submission.

The content focuses on:

  • Administrative details: Date prepared, submitter information, contact person, trade name, common/classification name, device classification, and predicate devices.
  • Description of the device: Ergonomic design, lightweight, small diameter, variable speeds (20-150 psi, suggested 100 psi), quick disconnect system.
  • Statement of Intended Use: Skull base and other microsurgical applications (otolaryngology, ENT, craniofacial, maxillofacial) where a small, lightweight, high-speed bone dissection system is desired.
  • Technological Characteristics: States the modified device has the "same technological characteristics (i.e., design, material, energy source) as the predicate device" and that "The specifications are as follows:", but then the specifications themselves are not provided in the excerpt.

Therefore, I cannot provide the requested information because it is not present in the given text. A 510(K) summary typically focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to a predicate device, and while it may reference performance data, the detailed study information is usually in a separate, more comprehensive submission.
