Class 2
Intended Use
The Medtronic Fusion Compact computer-assisted surgery system and its associated applications are intended as an aid for precisely locating anatomical structures in either open or percutaneous ENT procedures. Their use is indicated for any medical condition in which the use of stereotactic surgery may be appropriate, and where reference to a rigid anatomical structure, such as the skull, can be identified relative to images of the anatomy.
Device Story
FUSION Compact is an electromagnetic (EM) image-guided surgical navigation platform for ENT procedures (e.g., skull base, FESS). It inputs pre-operative CT or MR images and tracks specialized surgical probes in real-time using an EM localization system (AxiEM II). The system consists of an all-in-one PC/monitor, EM field transmitter, and navigation software. During surgery, the system continuously updates the probe position on the displayed anatomical images. Surgeons use this real-time positional feedback to validate their judgment and guide instruments relative to patient anatomy. Used in medical offices or operating rooms by surgeons to improve precision in locating anatomical structures.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. No clinical data. Testing included AAMI/ANSI ES 60601-1 and IEC 60601-1-2 compliance, software/hardware verification, and 3D positional accuracy testing. Accuracy was validated in simulated surgical office and OR environments, demonstrating a maximum error ≤ 3.0 mm.
Technological Characteristics
Electromagnetic navigation system; Intel-based PC/monitor all-in-one; AxiEM II localization; Class D amplifier; USB 1.1/2.0 connectivity. Software runs on Ubuntu Linux (C++). Emitter stand/clamp mounting. Supports 4-coil ports (up to 4 coils per port). Standards: AAMI/ANSI ES 60601-1, IEC 60601-1-2, IEC 62366.
Indications for Use
Indicated for patients undergoing open or percutaneous ENT procedures where stereotactic surgery is appropriate and rigid anatomical structures (e.g., skull) can be referenced to imaging.
Regulatory Classification
Identification
A stereotaxic instrument is a device consisting of a rigid frame with a calibrated guide mechanism for precisely positioning probes or other devices within a patient's brain, spinal cord, or other part of the nervous system.

| Classification Name: | 882.4560 - Stereotaxic Instrument |
| Predicate Device: | K001284 - StealthStation System GoldenEye Micro-Magnetic<br>Tracking System Option |
| Device Description: | The FUSION Compact™ system is a surgical guidance platform<br>that supports use of special application software and associated<br>instruments. The system reformats patient-specific CT or MR<br>images acquired before surgery and displays them on-screen from<br>a variety of perspectives (axial, sagittal, coronal). During surgery,<br>the system tracks the position of specialized surgical probes in or<br>on the patient anatomy and continuously updates the probe<br>position on these images. |
| | While the surgeon's judgment remains the ultimate authority,<br>real-time positional information obtained through the FUSION<br>Compact™ system can serve to validate this judgment as well as<br>guide. |
| | The FUSION Compact™ is an Electromagnetic-based navigation<br>system, also known as an Image Guided System (IGS), which<br>consists of clinical navigation software, a referencing system and |
| | platform/computer hardware. Navigation tracks the position of<br>navigated instruments in relation to the surgical anatomy and<br>identifies this position on diagnostic or intraoperative images of<br>the patient. The FUSION Compact™ system is modular and<br>designed for use in medical office or operating room environments<br>to conduct ENT procedures including Endoscopic Skull Base,<br>Lateral Skull Base, and Functional Endoscopic Sinus Surgery<br>(FESS) procedures. The FUSION Compact™ will utilize a monitor<br>and PC all-in-one computer and a free-standing emitter holder<br>option. The system supports the FUSION Compact™ 1.0<br>software application. The FUSION Compact™ will interface with<br>the existing Electromagnetic (EM) localization system and existing<br>ENT instruments. |
| Indications for Use: | The Medtronic FUSION Compact™ computer-assisted surgery<br>system and its associated applications are intended as an aid for<br>precisely locating anatomical structures in either open or<br>percutaneous ENT procedures. Their use is indicated for any<br>medical condition in which the use of stereotactic surgery may be<br>appropriate, and where reference to a rigid anatomical structure,<br>such as the skull, can be identified relative to images of the<br>anatomy. |
