Intended Use
The StealthStation® System is intended as an aid for precisely locating anatomical structures 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 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 or fluoroscope images of the anatomy. The StealthStation® System with the ENT option is also indicated for intranasal or sinus use.
Device Description
This submission describes a modification to the StealthStation® System to provide for image-guided tracking of a motorized instrument placement tool.
More Information

Not Found

No
The summary does not mention AI, ML, or related concepts, and the device description focuses on image-guided tracking of a motorized instrument placement tool, which is a common function in traditional navigation systems.

No
The device is described as an aid for precisely locating anatomical structures for surgical procedures, focusing on guidance rather than direct treatment or therapy.

No

The device is described as an aid for precisely locating anatomical structures during surgery, not for diagnosing medical conditions. Its intended use focuses on guidance during procedures, not on identifying diseases or conditions through analysis of medical data.

No

The device description explicitly states it is a "modification to the StealthStation® System," which is a hardware-based image-guided surgery system. The modification is to provide tracking for a "motorized instrument placement tool," further indicating hardware interaction.

Based on the provided information, the StealthStation® System 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.
  • StealthStation® System's Intended Use: The intended use clearly states that the system is an "aid for precisely locating anatomical structures in either open or percutaneous procedures." It uses imaging modalities (CT, MR, fluoroscope) to guide surgical procedures based on the patient's anatomy.
  • Lack of Biological Sample Analysis: There is no mention of the StealthStation® System analyzing biological samples or performing any tests on bodily fluids or tissues. Its function is purely related to image-guided navigation during surgery.

Therefore, the StealthStation® System falls under the category of a surgical navigation system or image-guided surgery system, not an in vitro diagnostic device.

Dear Ms. Destruel:

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.
