The device is described as an image-guided system used during surgery, providing assistance and maintaining registration. It does not directly treat or cure the conditions listed; rather, it aids the surgeon in performing therapeutic procedures.
No
The device is described as an "image guided device for use during endoscopic nasal surgery" and "intended for image guided assistance during nasal surgery." Its purpose is to guide surgical procedures, not to diagnose conditions.
No
The device description explicitly mentions and details physical hardware components like a headset assembly, verification pad, aspirator components, and an electromagnetic transmitter. It also describes how these components are used in conjunction with a computer, monitor, and hard disk storage system.
Based on the provided text, the Pediatric InstaTrak System is not an In Vitro Diagnostic (IVD) device.
Here's why:
- Definition of IVD: An IVD device is used to examine specimens derived from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
- Intended Use: The Pediatric InstaTrak System is an image-guided device used during surgical procedures to assist the surgeon. It uses pre-operative CT or MRI images of the patient's anatomy to guide instruments in real-time.
- Device Description: The description focuses on the physical components used for tracking and guidance during surgery, not on analyzing biological samples.
- Lack of Specimen Analysis: There is no mention of the device analyzing any biological specimens from the patient. Its function is based on spatial tracking relative to pre-acquired images.
Therefore, the Pediatric InstaTrak System falls under the category of a surgical guidance system, not an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

Device Description
The InstaTrak System intended for pediatrics is identical to the InstaTrak System intended for adults with the exception of a slight modification to the head set component. The headset assembly, verification pad, and aspirator components have been modified for the Pediatric InstaTrak System. The dimensions of these components of the InstaTrak System have been modified to accommodate the smaller head size of pediatric patients. As described in the original submission, the headset is a single use disposable device made of acetal plastic. The headset is held in place on the patient by spring tension at the three points of contact, the external ear canals, and the bridge of the nose. The headset serves as a foundation for anchoring the electromagnetic transmitter in a fixed location with respect to the patients head to compensate for patient motion during the surgical procedure. The transmitter is attached to the headset prior to surgery by a rotating toggle that is inserted through a slot in the middle of the rectangular section. The headset allow s the device to maintain its registration therefore avoiding the need for re-registration during the surgical procedure. It also continues to perform accurately even while the patient's head is moving during the surgical procedure.
The only change between the Pediatric InstaTrak System and the Adult InstaTrak System is a minor change in dimensions of the headset, straight aspirator and verification pad to accommodate the smaller head size of pediatric patients. This is an insignificant modification not affecting safety or effectiveness of the device.
The headset is first worn by the patient during the CT scan and is removed immediately after the scan. Prior to surgery, the transmitter is attached to the headset and the headset is again placed on the patient. This avoids the problem of adhesive based fiducials which requires the CT scan do be done very near the time of surgery to avoid displacement or loss of the markets.
The modifications to the headset dimensions do not affect safety or effectiveness of the device since the intended use and placement are identical to that summarized above and described in more detail in K960330.

and chronic sinusitis, endoscopic dacryocystorhinostomy, optic nerve and orbital decompression, the removal of polyps, the biopsy and removal of tumors, and the repair of CSF leaks, pituitary disorder and encephalocele.
A STATEMENT OF HOW THE TECHNOLOGICAL CHARACTERISTICS OF THE DEVICE 6. COMPARE TO PREDICATE OR LEGALLY MARKETED DEVICE(S) CITED
The Pediatric InstaTrak System is identical in technological characteristics to the Adult InstaTrak System except for the size of the headset. The Pediatric InstaTrak System and the Viewing Wand are similar in that they both use an articulated mechanical arm. The proposed Pediatric InstaTrak System and the predicate devices are similar in intended use in that they are all intraoperative imageguidance systems. The Viewing Wand links a positioning probe to an image display with a patients CT or MRI image data. The Pediatric InstaTrak System, the Adult InstaTrak System and the Viewing Wand all use a computer, monitor and hard disk storage system. Both the pediatric and adult InstaTrak Systems have fewer indications/features, using only CT images and fewer screen image displays than the predicate Viewing Wand. The Viewing Wand does not limit the intended population whereas the Pediatric InstaTrak is intended for pediatric patients only and the Adult InstaTrak is intended for Adult patients only.

Pediatric Headset Reproducibility Clinical Testing
Testing was performed to determine the clinical pediatric headset reproducibility on a total of 61 pediatric patients. One large and one small headset was equipped with spherical ear inserts and one large and one small headset was equipped with conical ear inserts. The small headset was to be used for patients with a head circumference ≤520 mm and the large for patients with a head circumference > 520 mm. The testing showed acceptable results for both size headsets with spherical ear inserts only.
Clinical Testing was also performed using the Adult InstaTrak System at four clinical sites. Although this testing was performed on the InstaTrak System intended for adults, it applies to the proposed Pediatric System since the two systems are essentially identical except for minor dimension changes.
