System settings are controlled with the touch screen panel of the control unit, while all functions of the handpieces can be controlled from the sterile field by the foot control. ### INDICATIONS FOR USE The ELAN 4 Electro motor system is intended for high speed cutting, sawing, and drilling of bone in the fields of Spine, ENT, Neuro, and Maxillofacial Surgery. ### TECHNOLOGICAL CHARACTERISTICS (compared to predicates) The modifications made to the ELAN 4 Electro motor system do not affect the fundamental scientific technology. The design, materials, and principal of operation have not changed for these devices. The ELAN 4 Electro Motor System offers similar operating speeds, power sources, and attachments as the predicate device. A table of the modifications between the predicate and the ELAN 4 Electro is below. The performance of the device was determined to be equivalent or improved for the device, in comparison to the predicate, due to each of the changes. Material changes such as changing to stainless steel or another type of PEEK were evaluated and determined to {4}------------------------------------------------ present no new risk to patients. Additionally, new features such as the distal tool adaptation and burr release mechanism were determined to present no new risk to patient and improved the performance of the device by reducing temperature and ensuring burrs do not release during use. This comparison supports the claim of substantial equivalence to the predicate device for the proposed intended use. | Device Modification | Risk | Verification Activity | Acceptance Criteria | Results of Verification | |--------------------------------------------------------------|----------------------------|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------|------------------------------|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------| | handpieces (GA) | | | | | | material change from titinium alloy to stainless steel | No new risk to patient. | Verification testing and biocompatibility testing per ISO 10993-1 | Engineering specification | Pass.
