Intended Use
The ClearPoint System is intended to provide stereotactic guidance for the placement and operation of instruments or devices during planning and operation of neurological procedures within the MRI environment and in conjunction with MR imaging. The ClearPoint System is intended as an integral part of procedures that have traditionally used stereotactic methodology. These procedures include biopsies, catheter and electrode insertion. The System is intended for use only with 1.5 Tesla MRI scanners.
Device Story
ClearPoint System provides stereotactic guidance for neurosurgical procedures within 1.5T MRI environment. System components include workstation laptop with planning/navigation software, SMARTGrid planning grid, SMARTFrame trajectory frame, handcontroller, and procedure drape. Physician uses workstation to plan trajectories based on MR images; SMARTFrame provides mechanical guidance and fixation for surgical instruments. MRI-visible fluids in targeting cannula and fiducial markers in frame base allow real-time trajectory feedback via MR imaging. System enables frameless stereotaxy; supports bilateral procedures. Used by neurosurgeons and MRI technicians in MRI suite. Output consists of visual guidance on workstation display, assisting surgeon in precise placement of biopsy needles, catheters, or electrodes. Benefits include accurate, image-guided delivery of instruments to target sites within brain, potentially improving procedural precision.
Clinical Evidence
No clinical trials on human subjects. Evidence consists of bench testing and cadaver studies. Accuracy testing in skull phantom demonstrated targeting error <1.5mm, comparable to Navigus II MR. Cadaver study compared workflow and accuracy against Navigus II MR, showing comparable performance and user ratings. Safety testing evaluated image distortion, force/torque, and RF heating in 1.5T MRI, confirming MRI conditional status per ASTM F2503.
Technological Characteristics
System includes workstation laptop, SMARTGrid, SMARTFrame, and accessories. Materials: polymer base with titanium screws. Sensing/actuation: mechanical trajectory frame with MRI-visible fiducial markers. Energy: MRI-compatible. Connectivity: standalone workstation. Sterilization: ethylene oxide. Software: planning and navigation.
Indications for Use
Indicated for stereotactic guidance during neurological procedures including biopsies, catheter, and electrode insertion in patients requiring such interventions within a 1.5T MRI environment.

used stereotactic methodology. These procedures include biopsies, catheter and electrode insertion. The System is intended for use only with 1.5 Tesla MRI scanners.
### Technological Characteristics
The ClearPoint System is comprised of a workstation laptop with workstation software, the SMARTGrid™ MRI-Guided Planning Grid, the SMARTFrame™ MRI-Guided Trajectory Frame, the SMARTFrame Accessory Kit, the SMARTFrame Handcontroller, and the MR Neuro Procedure Drape. The MR Neuro Procedure Drape was cleared for market via a separate 510(k) notice (K091343).
The SMARTGrid and associated Marking Tool are designed to assist the physician to precisely position the burr hole as called out in the trajectory planning software. The SMARTFrame is an adjustable trajectory frame that provides the guidance and fixation for neurosurgical tools. The MRI visible fluids of the Targeting Cannula along with the fiducial markers in the base of the frame allows for trajectory feedback when the physician views the MR images, makes changes, and confirms with subsequent MR images.
The ClearPoint System can be used with any MRI-compatible head fixation frame to immobilize the patient's head with respect to the scanner table, as well as with any imaging coil(s) that meet the physician's desired imaging quality.
See the table below for a detailed comparison of the technological characteristics of the ClearPoint System and those of the predicate devices.

### Consensus Standards
The ClearPoint System complies with the following recognized consensus standards:
- NEMA PS 3.1 3.18 (2008) Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine . (DICOM) Set.
- AAMI/ANSI/ISO 10993-1 Biological evaluation of medical devices Part 1: . Evaluation and testing.
- ANSI/AAMI/ISO 1135-1 Sterilization of health care products Ethylene oxide -. Part 1: Requirements for development, validation, and routine control of sterilization process for medical devices.
### Performance Data
SurgiVision has conducted software validation testing, as well as accuracy and safety testing of the ClearPoint System in multiple models and settings. In all instances, the device functioned as intended and targeting accuracy observed was as expected. This testing is described in detail below.
#### ClearPoint System Accuracy Testing
## MRI Test Device Accuracy Testing
This study was intended to demonstrate that a known pre-determined target in a phantom can be localized by the distal tip of a Test Device representative of the devices to be used with the ClearPoint System. The system software went through all procedural steps during this testing with the exception of the Marking Grid / Burr Hole location. This study demonstrated that the SMARTFrame can deliver a simulated device to the same X, Y, and Z coordinates as the Stylet/Sheath, and can deliver a simulated device to the projected X, Y, and Z coordinates without Stylet/Sheath confirmation. Finally, testing with actual medical devices (instead of simulated devices) had the same results.
# System Accuracy Comparison in a Skull Phantom - Navigus II MR vs. ClearPoint System
The goal of this comparison testing was to obtain accuracy results for the ClearPoint System using a skull phantom, and to compare those results with data previously obtained for the predicate Navigus II MR (also known as the "NeXframe MR") device using the same model system. The system software went through all steps during this testing with the exception of the Marking Grid / Burr Hole location.
It was concluded that the ClearPoint System is at least as accurate as the NeXframe MR (used in conjunction with software on a cleared MRI scanner) in terms of radial error and depth error when placing a device at a target site in a simulated head/brain phantom.

# System Accuracy Comparison in a Cadaver - Navigus II MR vs. ClearPoint System
A cadaver study was performed to compare the Navigus II MR ("NeXframe MR"), used in conjunction with software on a cleared MRI scanner, and the ClearPoint System for work flow performance and accuracy. The objective of the study was to perform procedures using the NeXframe MR and the ClearPoint System to access targets in a cadaver head. This testing demonstrated that the ClearPoint System was at least comparable to the NeXframe MR (used in conjunction with software on a cleared MRI scanner) in terms of both accuracy and user ratings on a variety of procedure-related assessments.
### Conclusions
These test results demonstrate that the targeting accuracy of the ClearPoint System is as good as the Navigus II MR, when used in conjunction with MRI scanner software. The results support the safe and effective use of the ClearPoint System to guide a device to a brain target with an error less than 1.5mm.
## ClearPoint System Safety Testing
Relevant components of the ClearPoint System were evaluated for interactions with the electromagnetic fields in an MRI suite. Specifically, the following interactions of the device components were evaluated: (1) image distortion; (2) force and torque; and (3) RF heating. With regard to image distortion, force and RF heating, the company conducted verification testing to ensure that the subject device components did not interfere with MR images and confirm their safety when used in conjunction with a 1.5T MRI scanner.
The company concluded that the ClearPoint System is MRI Conditional as defined by ASTM F2503. The analysis and measurements performed by the company demonstrated that the presence of the ClearPoint System components do not expose a patient to added risk from the electromagnetic fields in a 1.5T MRI system.
### Substantial Equivalence
The ClearPoint System is as safe and effective as the Navigus II MR Trajectory Guide used in conjunction with MRI scanner software, such as the software package cleared with the Philips Medical Systems' Achieva, Intera and Panorama MR Systems. The ClearPoint System has the same intended use and similar indications, technological characteristics, and principles of operation as its predicate devices. The minor technological differences between the ClearPoint System and its predicate devices raise no new issues of safety or effectiveness. Performance data demonstrate that the ClearPoint System is as safe and effective as the predicate devices. Thus, the ClearPoint System is substantially equivalent.
