Then, the Drill was clamped to the table, using a table vice and clamping directly on the Drill, such that the Drill Bit hangs freely. A Force Gauge was then attached to the Drill Bit, to administer a 5.0 lbf minimum compression load, and see if Drill Bit would slip further into the Chuck.

Set-up: A Drill Bit was attached to each MRI Hand Drill, using wet gloves. Then, the Drills were clamped to the table, using a table vice. A Torque Gauge was attached to the opposite end of the drill bit. A Torque was then applied to the drill, to see if there was any noticeable slip. Alignment marks where made of the Drill Bit and Chuck Housing, to see if there was any misalignment after applying the torque.

Purpose: To measure the amount of Run-out in the Hand Drill/Drill Bit assembly, when the drill is rotating. Set-up: The Hand Drill Body was clamped in a table vice, such that the Hand Drill could still spin freely. A Drill Bit was attached to the Drill. A deflection gauge was placed at different point on the drill; on the Shaft Coupler, The Chuck Housing, on the Drill Bit near the Chuck Housing. The Drills were then turned, to see how much "wobble" was measured at each point.

Set-up: The hand Drill Body is clamped into a table vice. A force gauge is used to apply a 5 lbf side loading onto the Chuck Housing. The amount of deflection of the Housing is measured with a deflection gauge. | All modified MRI Hand Drills had a reduction in the amount of deflection by approximately 60%, compared to the PEEK shafts of the predicate Hand Drill.

Set-up: Chucks were loosened fully on Hand Drills. Drill Bodies were clamped to a Table Vice. A clamp was attached to the Chuck Housing, which was connected to the Force Gauge. The Force gauge was used to pull on the Chuck Housing axially, until the bond between the Lock Washer and Chuck Housing broke. The break force was then measured. Acceptance Criteria: The Lock Washers shall have a minimum break force of 5 lbf. | All modified Hand Drills had a Lock Washer break force greater than 5.0 lbf.

The summary of the risk analysis is provided below. The following table is used for the O,S, and D rankings. | Occurrence (probability) | Detection (Chance of detecting failure) | Severity (Clinical Effect) | Non-Hazardous Severity | |------------------------------|--------------------------------------------|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|-----------------------------------------------------------------| | 1 - Low (1 in 400) | 1 - Detection is certain | 1 - Unnoticeable to user. No effect on performance. | 1 - No noticeable delay/ no dissatisfaction | | 3 - Infrequent (1 in 200) | 2 – High probability of detection | 3 - Minor impact to patient. Minimal impact to patient baseline status | 3 - Minor delay/ slight dissatisfaction | | 5 - Periodic (1 in 100) | 4 - Detection probability is moderate | 5 - Patient injury not requiring treatment. Alteration of patient's clinical baseline status | 5 - Noticeable delay/ statement of dissatisfaction likely | | 7 - High (1 in 50) | 6 - Detection probability is low | 7 - Reversible patient injury. Alteration of patient's clinical baseline status requiring treatment | 7 - Prolonged delay/ dissatisfaction communicated clearly | | 10 - Very High (1 in 25) | 8 – Slight probability of detection | 8 – Irreversible patient injury | 8 - Extensive delay / extreme dissatisfaction | {12}------------------------------------------------ | 10 - Detection almost | 10 - Death | 10 - Procedure | |-----------------------|------------|----------------| | impossible | | discontinued | There were no items with residual RPN above 40. The highest severities (9) were for susceptibility to magnetic force or torque, as that could cause either loss of control or could cause the MRI Drill to be pulled into the scanner at high speed. However, this occurrence is essentially zero because the Drill is designed with non-ferromagnetic components. There are two cross-pins that are made out of 316L Stainless Steel. 316L has very low magnetic susceptibility, and the mass of the stainless steel pins is insignificant compared to the overall mass of the Hand Drill. The same 316L SST Pin is used in the predicate Hand Drill. Therefore, this risk is identical to the predicate Hand Drill. The modified MRI Drill Shaft is also made out of anodized 6061 Aluminum. This modification to the Hand Drill did not increase any of the RPN's from the risk analysis performed on the predicate device. The aluminum shaft has extremely low magnetic susceptibility (much lower than 316L SST), so it is unaffected by magnetic fields from 1.5T - 3.0T. So, the risk remained the same as the predicate Hand Drill. The only new failure mode was the lock washer breaking off from the Chuck Housing. However, this has no clinical effect, and the occurrence is 1. The lock washer provides a benefit to the user since it prevents the Chuck Housing from falling off when the user loosens it. So the benefit of having the washer far outweighs the very minimal risk. The modified Hand Drill also lowers the occurrence of two failure modes. The Collet Jaws deforming during tightening the Chuck is now 1 (predicate device was 2), which lowers the RPN from 8 to 4. The Chuck Housing does not have a good gripping surface for User to tighten adequately is now 1 (predicate device was 3), which lowers the RPN from 24 to 8. All material changes from the predicate device are non patient contacting and do not provide any additional risk. The modified Hand Drill poses no additional challenge to sterilization over the predicate Hand Drill and therefore does not pose any additional risk. The modifications to the Hand Drill do not increase the risks from the predicate Hand Drill. The MRI Hand Drill is a safe alternative to power drills. It is still the case that the device operates at very low speed, and is manually powered. Both of these characteristics lead to a safe device in most cases. Most of the failures of the device occur toward the safe end-that is, the device does not spin or stops being usable, instead of failures that result in a loss of control. There were no new failure modes uncovered during testing that challenge the premise. In addition, most of the failure modes associated with the device are considered nonhazardous, as they do not result in any harm to the patient. The drill allows users to create small holes for interventional procedures in the MRI scanner. This is a great benefit to surgeons and patients, as it makes procedures faster and logistically easier. Therefore, the benefits of the device outweigh the risks. {13}------------------------------------------------ For the Drill Bit, there are also no new risks with the change to the shank geometry. The Drill Bit had no material changes, so the highest severity items (FMEA-0064) remain unchanged: Resistance Magnetic Force Displacement (RPN = 16, Severity = 8) Drill made of non-biocompatible material (RPN = 80. Severity = 8) The change to the shank geometry does not add any new risks. As testing showed, it will only improve performance and allow users to exert less force to tighten the drill bit in the drill without slipping. # 9. Consensus Standards: The MRII Cranial Drill and accessories comply with the following recognized consensus standards: - 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 - ASTM F2052-05e1, Standard Test method for Measurement of ● Magnetically Induced Displacement Force on Medical Devcies in an MRI Environment. ### 10. Conclusion: The modifications to the MRII Cranial Drill and 3.2mm Drill Kit were made in conformance with the company's design control procedures. Performance testing established the substantial equivalence of the modified MRII Cranial Drill and 3.2mm Drill Kit to the predicate MRII Cranial Drill and accessories, including design verification testing.
