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 changes made to the StealthStation™ System to include the use of a camera array utilizing two 2-dimensional cameras as an alternative to the originally cleared camera array utilizing three 3-dimensional cameras.
More Information

No
The summary describes a change to the camera array technology for anatomical localization, with no mention of AI or ML in the intended use, device description, or specific sections for AI/ML details.

No
The device is used for precise anatomical localization during surgical procedures, not for treating a disease or condition itself. It aids in surgery rather than providing therapy.

No

The device is described as an aid for precisely locating anatomical locations during surgery, using CT or MR-based models. Its purpose is navigational assistance during procedures, not to diagnose a medical condition.

No

The device description explicitly mentions a "camera array utilizing two 2-dimensional cameras," indicating the presence of 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 device used during a surgical or interventional procedure on a patient, not a device used to examine specimens in vitro (outside the body).
  • Device Description: The description focuses on the camera system used for tracking anatomical locations during a procedure.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.), detecting diseases or conditions based on sample analysis, or providing information for diagnosis based on laboratory tests.

IVD devices are specifically designed to examine specimens obtained from the human body to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening. The StealthStation® System's function is to provide surgical navigation and guidance based on imaging data and real-time tracking of instruments relative to the patient's anatomy.

Re: K981686 Trade Name: StealthStation® System Digitizer Change Regulatory Class: II Product Code: HAW Dated: June 25, 1997 Received: May 13, 1998

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.
