Intended Use
The Anspach iMRI Surgical Drill System (including pneumatic drill motor, foot control, nosepiece attachments and cutters), is indicated for intra-operative (non-imaging) use within a Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) environment rated at 1.5 Tesla or less, for surgical cutting, shaping and removal of bone, including bones of the skull and spine.
Device Story
Pneumatic surgical drill system designed for use in MRI environments (1.5T or less). System includes drill motor, foot control, nosepiece attachments, and bone dissection cutters. Ferrous metals replaced with low-magnetic susceptibility materials to ensure MRI compatibility. Motor operates at 60-65k RPM; slower than standard models to accommodate MRI environment. Nosepiece attachments minimize vibration and wobble. Operated by surgeons in clinical settings; foot control allows hands-free activation. Cutters are single-use, pre-sterilized; nosepieces are reusable. System includes a locking mechanism preventing interchangeability with non-iMRI components. Device facilitates bone surgery while equipment is present in the MRI suite, provided imaging is not active.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. Testing included evaluation of magnetically induced torque (ASTM F2213-04) and displacement force (ASTM F2052-02) in an MRI environment. No clinical data provided.
Technological Characteristics
Pneumatic drill system. Materials selected for low magnetic susceptibility. Components: motor, foot control, nosepiece attachments, cutters. Sterilization: Radiation (SAL 10-6) for cutters; steam sterilization for reusable components. Standards: ASTM F2213-04, ASTM F2052-02, ISO 13485, ISO 10993-1, ISO 11137, ANSI/AAMI ST37, ISO 11134, ISO 14971.
Indications for Use
Indicated for intra-operative (non-imaging) surgical cutting, shaping, and removal of bone (skull and spine) within a 1.5 Tesla or less MRI environment. Contraindicated for use within Zone IV during active imaging.
Regulatory Classification
Identification
A pneumatic cranial drill motor is a pneumatically operated power source used with removable rotating surgical cutting tools or drill bits on a patient's skull.

The iMRI Surgical Drill System is a Class II medical device which includes a pneumatic drill motor and foot control; a variety of nosepiece attachments; and various bone dissection tools (cutters). To make the drill system "MRI useable", ferrous metals comprising each system component have been replaced with materials known to have significantly lower or no discernable magnetic susceptibility.
The iMRI Drill System foot control was tested with the Drill System within Zone IV. It was located on the floor within easy access to be activated by the surgeon's foot. The iMRI motor does not require continuous oiling and therefore runs at slower speeds (60 - 65k RPM) than noniMRI Anspach motors (80 - 85k RPM). Nosepiece attachments (bearing tubes) support the cutter to minimize vibration , wobble and whipping. They are a direct contact (with patient) device and are distributed clean, non-sterile for reusable applications. iMRI cutters are identical to other Anspach non-iMRI cutters with exception of materials and indications for use. Cutters are surgically invasive, direct contact (with patient) devices and are distributed presterilized to a SAL 10-6. iMRI cutters carry additional warnings to advise the user "dulling" may occur faster than other Anspach non-iMRI cutters, especially if overused or reused. Anspach cutters are not designed for and should never be reprocessed for reuse.
The Anspach iMRI Surgical Drill System (including pneumatic drill motor, foot control, nosepiece attachments and cutters), is indicated for intra-operative (non-imaging) use within a Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) environment rated at 1.5 Tesla or less, for surgical cutting, shaping and removal of bone, including bones of the skull and spine.

could cause unacceptable image distortion. Cleaning, sterilization and storage conditions are specified on product package inserts and product labeling complies with US, European Union and in other global market requirements.
## Conclusion
The iMRI Drill System is substantially equivalent in form and design to other Anspach pneumatic drill systems including MicroMax, the original 65K, and their nosepiece attachments and cutters. Principle design differences are in materials, indications for use and a slightly modified locking mechanism, which prevents interchangeability between iMRI and non-iMRI system components.

Dear Mr. Banic:
We have reviewed your Section 510(k) premarket notification of intent to market the device referenced above and 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) that do not require approval of a premarket approval application (PMA). 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 (PMA), 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 898. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register.
Please be advised that FDA's issuance of a substantial equivalence determination does not mean that FDA has made a determination that your device complies with other requirements of the Act or any Federal statutes and regulations administered by other Federal agencies. You must comply with all the Act's requirements, including, but not limited to: registration and listing (21 CFR Part 807); labeling (21 CFR Part 801); good manufacturing practice requirements as set forth in the quality systems (QS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820); and if applicable, the electronic product radiation control provisions (Sections 531-542 of the Act); 21 CFR 1000-1050.
