Intended Use
The StealthStation™ System with the Universal Attachment 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 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 StealthStation™ System is also indicated for intranasal or sinus use.
Device Description
This submission describes a Universal Attachment with infrared markers that allows a StealthStation® System user to image guide rigid surgical instruments.

No
The summary describes a navigation system that uses infrared markers and pre-operative imaging (CT/MR) to guide instruments. There is no mention of AI, ML, or any related concepts in the intended use, device description, or other sections. The technology described is consistent with traditional image-guided surgery systems.

No.
The device is described as an aid for precisely locating anatomical locations, indicating it's a navigational or guidance system for surgery, not one that directly treats a medical condition.

No.

The device is described as an aid for precisely locating anatomical locations and image-guiding surgical instruments, not for diagnosing medical conditions. It uses pre-existing CT or MR models of anatomy.

No

The device description explicitly mentions a "Universal Attachment with infrared markers," which is a hardware component.

No, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In vitro diagnostics are tests performed on samples taken from the human body, such as blood, urine, or tissue, to detect diseases, conditions, or infections. They are used to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
  • Device Function: The StealthStation™ System with the Universal Attachment is a surgical navigation system. Its purpose is to aid surgeons in precisely locating anatomical structures during surgical procedures using pre-operative imaging (CT or MR). It does not analyze biological samples from the patient.
  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states it's an "aid for precisely locating anatomical locations in either open or percutaneous procedures" and is used in "stereotactic surgery." This is a surgical tool, not a diagnostic test.

The information provided about the device description, input imaging modality, anatomical site, and predicate devices all support its classification as a surgical navigation system, 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 (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.
