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 appropriate, 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 Stealth Station™ System is also indicated for intranasal or sinus use. The Ultrasonic Probe Option provides the user with supplemental real time imaging information to be used to monitor soft tissue locations relative to the CT or MR based model of the anatomy.
Device Description
This submission describes updates made to the StealthStation™ System to provide for optical tracking of an ultrasonic probe and its associated image plane.

No.
The device is described as an aid for precisely locating anatomical locations and provides real-time imaging information, which are diagnostic and guidance functions, not therapeutic.

No

The device is described as an "aid for precisely locating anatomical locations" and provides "supplemental real-time imaging information." Its primary function is guidance and localization during procedures, not to diagnose a medical condition.

No

The device description explicitly states "updates made to the StealthStation™ System to provide for optical tracking of an ultrasonic probe and its associated image plane," indicating the inclusion of hardware components (ultrasonic probe, optical tracking).

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 during surgical procedures. It uses imaging data (CT, MR, ultrasound) to guide the surgeon in real-time.
  • Device Description: The description focuses on the system's ability to track surgical instruments and provide real-time imaging information during surgery.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: An IVD device is used to examine specimens (like blood, urine, tissue) taken from the human body to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening. This device does not perform any analysis on biological specimens.

The StealthStation™ System is a surgical navigation system, which falls under the category of medical devices used to assist in surgical procedures, not for in vitro diagnostic testing.

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 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). 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 requirements, as set forth in the Quality System Regulation (OS) for Medical Devices: General regulation (21 CFR Part 820) and that, through periodic QS 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.
