Intended Use
The SNN Scout is indicated for patients who have space-occupying lesions or malformations (both soft tissue and osseous) in the head. It is also indicated for patients who require decompressive or reconstructive surgery of the spine, or who have imaged space-occupying lesions or malformations of the spine. The SNN Scout is contraindicated for patients suspected of having Creutzfeld-Jacob's disease if adequate sterilization of the instruments cannot be assured.
Device Description
The passive sensor feature is an addition to the SNN Scout image-guided surgical system. This feature is designed to improve the ergonomics of the user/device interaction by eliminating the cable connections between the tracked surgical instruments and the computer workstation.

Not Found

No
The summary explicitly states "Mentions AI, DNN, or ML: Not Found" and the device description focuses on a passive sensor feature for ergonomic improvement, not AI/ML capabilities.

No.
The device is described as an image-guided surgical system designed to improve ergonomics by eliminating cable connections. It guides surgical procedures but does not directly treat or heal a medical condition.

No
The SNN Scout is described as an "image-guided surgical system" that eliminates cable connections for tracked surgical instruments. Its indications for use relate to patients with lesions or malformations requiring surgery, rather than the detection or diagnosis of conditions.

No

The device description explicitly mentions "tracked surgical instruments" and "eliminating the cable connections between the tracked surgical instruments and the computer workstation," indicating the presence of hardware components (the instruments and the tracking system).

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use describes a surgical navigation system used for guiding procedures on the head and spine. This involves direct interaction with the patient's anatomy during surgery, not the analysis of biological samples in vitro (outside the body).
  • Device Description: The device description focuses on a surgical system with a passive sensor feature for tracking instruments. This is consistent with a surgical navigation system, not an IVD.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.), detecting specific analytes, or providing diagnostic information based on laboratory testing.

IVDs are devices used to examine specimens derived from the human body to provide information for diagnostic, monitoring, or compatibility purposes. The SNN Scout clearly falls outside of this definition.

N/A

Intended Use / Indications for Use

The SNN Scout, comprised of a medical workstation and an integrated position-sensing instrument, is intended to be used pre-operatively and intra-operatively.

The passive instrument feature does not change the indications for use of the SNN Scout image-guided surgical device compared with the predicate ISG Family of Viewing Wands. The statement of indications for use continues to be as follows:

"The SNN Scout is indicated for patients who have space-occupying lesions or malformations (both soft tissue and osseous) in the head. It is also indicated for patients who require decompressive or reconstructive surgery of the spine, or who have imaged space-occupying lesions or malformations of the spine. The SNN Scout is contraindicated for patients suspected of having Creutzfeld-Jacob's disease if adequate sterilization of the instruments cannot be assured."

Dear Ms. Nakagawa:

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 (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.
