Intended Use
When used with a fiberoptic endoscope, SPINAUT-V can be used for observing epidural anatomy, pathology and delivery of drugs approved for epidural indications. The SPINAUT-S is intended to be used by physicians for the illumination of tissues of the epidural space in the lumbar and sacral spine for the purpose of assisting in the diagnosis of disease. SPINAUT-I is intended for the percutaneous introduction and placement of a video guided catheter and/or an endossope.
Device Story
SPINAUT-V, SPINAUT-S, and SPINAUT-I are arthroscopic tools for epidural space access and visualization. SPINAUT-V is a steerable, single-use flexible catheter with dual infusion ports for drug delivery and endoscope insertion. SPINAUT-S is a reusable, flexible fiberoptic system for tissue illumination and visualization. SPINAUT-I is a single-use introducer for catheter/endoscope placement. Used by physicians in clinical settings; devices facilitate direct visualization of lower spine conditions with minimal musculoskeletal impact. Physicians use visual output to diagnose neural distress and guide therapeutic interventions. Benefits include improved diagnostic accuracy and targeted drug delivery.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. Testing included sterilization validation (ISO 11137, ISO 11737), shelf-life (ASTM F1980-07), biocompatibility (ISO 10993, USP 37), and mechanical performance (leakage, tensile strength, fatigue, X-ray impermeability, flexural rigidity, and optical characteristics per ISO 8600).
Technological Characteristics
Materials: SUS 304, PU, ABS, PE, PTFE, polyamide, optical glass. Energy: Fiberoptic illumination. Connectivity: Compatible with universal camera systems. Sterilization: Gamma (SPINAUT-V/I), non-sterile/reusable (SPINAUT-S). Standards: ISO 10555-1, ISO 8600-1/3, ISO 12233, ISO 594-1/2.
Indications for Use
Indicated for physicians performing epidural space visualization, diagnosis of disease, and drug delivery in the lumbar and sacral spine using a fiberoptic endoscope.
Regulatory Classification
Identification

#### 5. Description:
SPINAUT-V consists of a flexible catheter, steering handle and associated ports for access to the lumen. The catheter has built in steering mechanism that allows for guiding the soft tip through the epidural space and soft tissues for optimal access to the source of
{4}------------------------------------------------
distress. The design allows the use of a flexible fiber optic endoscope for visual examination of the area and surrounding tissues at the distal end of the catheter. This visual examination then allows the physician to diagnose the potential causes of neural distress and pain. SPINAUT-V is a sterile, single use device. When placing SPINAUT-V into the patient, SPINAUT-I can be used instead of SPINUT-V as an introducer device.
SPINAUT-S is a surgically invasive flexible fiberoptic system that can be used either with a video guided catheter (SPINAUT-V or other video guided catheters with proper catheter size) or with an introducer device such as SPINAUT-I. The SPINIUT-S is a reusable device that is supplied non-sterile with instructions for cleaning, sterilization and re-use. The SPINAUT-S can be used with the light source and camera system.
SPINAUT-I is intended to be used to prepare or preserve a path for a video guided catheter or an endoscope. It is supplied sterile and for single use.
#### 6. Indication for use:
When used with a fiberoptic endoscope, SPINAUT-V can be used for observing epidural anatomy, pathology and delivery of drugs approved for epidural indications.
The SPINAUT-S is intended to be used by physicians for the illumination and visualization of tissues of the epidural space in the lumbar and sacral spine for the purpose of assisting in the diagnosis of disease.
SPINAUT-I is intended for the percutaneous introduction and placement of a video guided catheter and/or an endoscope.
