Intended Use
The StealthStation™ System is intended as an aid for precisely locating anatomical locations in either open or percutaneous procedures. The StealthStation™ System is indicated for any medical condition in which the use of stereotactic surgery may be considered to be safe and effective, and where a reference to a rigid anatomical structure, such as the skull, a long bone, or vertebra, can be identified relative to a CT or MR based model of the anatomy.
Device Description
This submission is an addendum to K954276 which allows the StealthStation™ to track a powered surgical drill. The StealthStation™ Drill Attachment's ability to track a drill bit of known length was shown to be substantially equivalent to the method used to track other optical probes specified in 510(k) No. K954276.
More Information

No
The summary describes a surgical navigation system that tracks instruments based on pre-operative imaging and rigid anatomical structures. There is no mention of AI, ML, or related concepts in the intended use, device description, or other sections. The focus is on tracking and localization, not on automated analysis or decision-making typically associated with AI/ML in medical devices.

No.
The device is intended as an aid for precisely locating anatomical locations during surgery, which is a navigational and guidance function, not a therapeutic intervention itself.

No.
The "Intended Use" section states that the StealthStation™ System is intended as an aid for precisely locating anatomical locations during surgical procedures and for stereotactic surgery, using pre-existing CT or MR models of the anatomy. This describes a surgical navigation or guidance system, which assists in treatment by providing location information, rather than diagnosing a medical condition or disease.

No

The device description explicitly mentions a "StealthStation™ Drill Attachment" and its ability to track a "powered surgical drill," indicating hardware components beyond just 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 StealthStation™ System is an aid for precisely locating anatomical locations in either open or percutaneous procedures. This describes a surgical navigation system used during a medical procedure on a patient.
  • IVD Definition: In vitro diagnostics (IVDs) are tests performed on samples taken from the human body, such as blood, urine, or tissue, to detect diseases, conditions, or infections. The StealthStation™ does not perform such tests on bodily samples.
  • Device Description: The description focuses on tracking surgical instruments (a powered surgical drill) relative to anatomical structures based on imaging data. This is consistent with surgical navigation, not in vitro testing.
  • Input Imaging Modality: The input is CT or MR based models of anatomy, which are used for surgical planning and navigation, not for analyzing bodily fluids or tissues.

Therefore, the StealthStation™ System, as described, falls under the category of a surgical navigation system, not an In Vitro Diagnostic device.
