Intended Use
The intended use of the Noras OR Head Holder is the fixation of the human skull just before, during and at the end of the intervention in the operating room. The head holder enables prone, supine and lateral patient positioning. The Noras OR Head Coil 1.5T(K060758) can be adopted to the OR Head Holder in conjunction with a Siemens Magnetom System 1.5T to provide MR images before, during and at the end of the intervention. The head holder can be adjusted from adult use down to use for a new born child.
Device Story
Mechanical fixation unit for human skull; used in operating room during neurosurgical procedures. Device provides stable patient positioning (prone, supine, lateral) for brain surgery. Integrates with Siemens MAGNETOM 1.5T MR scanners via optional Noras OR Head Coil to facilitate intraoperative MR imaging. Operated by neurosurgeons/OR staff. Device consists of adjustable head holder with table-specific adapters (SI7000 for Symphony/Sonata/Miyabi; SI7300 for Espree/TIM Trio). Provides stable platform for surgical intervention; enables imaging before, during, and after surgery. Benefits include precise head stabilization and continuous MR imaging capability without moving patient from OR table.
Clinical Evidence
No clinical data. Bench testing only.
Technological Characteristics
Mechanical skull fixation unit; MR-compatible materials. Adjustable form factor for patients ranging from newborns to adults. Includes table-specific adapters for Siemens Magnetom systems. Standalone mechanical device; no energy source or software algorithms.
Indications for Use
Indicated for stabilization of the human skull during neurosurgical procedures in the operating room. Suitable for adult and pediatric patients, including newborns. Supports prone, supine, and lateral positioning. Used in conjunction with Siemens MAGNETOM systems and Noras OR Head Coil for MR imaging. Accessories available for awake craniotomies and minimally invasive interventions.
Regulatory Classification
Identification
A magnetic resonance diagnostic device is intended for general diagnostic use to present images which reflect the spatial distribution and/or magnetic resonance spectra which reflect frequency and distribution of nuclei exhibiting nuclear magnetic resonance. Other physical parameters derived from the images and/or spectra may also be produced. The device includes hydrogen-1 (proton) imaging, sodium-23 imaging, hydrogen-1 spectroscopy, phosphorus-31 spectroscopy, and chemical shift imaging (preserving simultaneous frequency and spatial information).
Special Controls
*Classification.* Class II (special controls). A magnetic resonance imaging disposable kit intended for use with a magnetic resonance diagnostic device only is exempt from the premarket notification procedures in subpart E of part 807 of this chapter subject to the limitations in § 892.9.

## 4. Device Description
The OR Head Holder is a fixation unit for the human head before, during and after an intervention at the human brain. The head holder will come with two versions of table adapters, depending on the OR table top used.
The Noras Part Numbers are: SI7000 for use with the Symphony, and Sonata Table top and the Miyabi transport system; and Part Number SI7300 for use with the table top for Espree or TIM Trio.
Image /page/1/Picture/5 description: In the image, there is a close-up of a metal object. The object has a flat, rectangular piece on the left side, and a more complex structure on the right side. The object appears to be a mechanical part, possibly from a machine or engine.
The picture on the left shows the OR Head holder SI7000 with the rectangular base plate (left) to fix the head holder to the OR table top or Miyabi shell.
On the right there is the C-Arc visible with the screws to fix the skull.
Image /page/1/Picture/8 description: This image shows a black and white photo of what appears to be a medical device attached to a person's head. The device is circular and has several metal arms extending from it. The person's head is visible inside the device, and their face is obscured. The image is grainy and has a low resolution.
Image /page/1/Picture/9 description: In the image, a machine is shown with a large circular component on the right side. A long, horizontal arm extends from the left towards the center of the machine. There are some smaller components attached to the arm. The image is in black and white and has a grainy texture.
