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. The StealthStation™ System with the ENT option is also indicated for intranasal or sinus use.
Device Description
This submission describes updates made to the StealthStation™ System to provide the option for providing pre-sterilized passive markers for the StealthStation™ instruments.
More Information

No
The summary explicitly states "Mentions AI, DNN, or ML: Not Found" and the device description focuses on passive markers, not advanced algorithms.

No
The device is described as an aid for precisely locating anatomical locations during surgery, not as a treatment or therapy itself. It assists in surgical procedures rather than providing a therapeutic effect.

No

The provided text focuses on the StealthStation™ System being an "aid for precisely locating anatomical locations" during surgical procedures ("stereotactic surgery"). It uses CT or MR based models for navigation during surgery, not for diagnosing a medical condition.

No

The device description explicitly states it provides "pre-sterilized passive markers for the StealthStation™ instruments," indicating a hardware component. The intended use also describes a "StealthStation™ System," which is a larger navigation system that includes hardware.

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

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostic devices are used to examine specimens (like blood, urine, or tissue) taken from the human body to provide information about a person's health. This testing is done outside of the body (in vitro).
  • StealthStation™ System's 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 means it's used during surgical procedures on the patient's body, not for testing specimens outside the body.
  • Device Description: The device description focuses on updates to the system for providing pre-sterilized passive markers for instruments used in these procedures. This aligns with a surgical navigation system, not an IVD.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: The provided information does not mention any analysis of biological specimens, laboratory testing, or diagnostic information derived from samples.

Therefore, the StealthStation™ System is a surgical navigation system used to guide procedures within the body, not an IVD.

Dear Mr. White:

We have reviewed your Section 510(k) notification of intent to market the device referenced above and we have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to 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). 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.

If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (Premarket Approval), it may be subject to such additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 895. A substantially equivalent determination assumes compliance with the current Good Manufacturing Practice requirement, as set forth in the Quality System Regulation (QS) for Medical Devices: General regulation (21 CFR Part 820) and that, through periodic (OS) inspections, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) will verify such assumptions. Failure to comply with the GMP regulation may result in regulatory action. In addition. FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register. Please note: this response to your premarket notification submission does not affect any obligation you might have under sections 531 through 542 of the Act for devices under the Electronic Product Radiation Control provisions, or other Federal laws or regulations.
