Intended Use
BrightMatter Guide is intended as a planning and intraoperative guidance system to enable open and percutaneous computer assisted surgery. The system is indicated for medical conditions requiring neurosurgical cranial procedures where the use of computer assisted planning and surgery may be appropriate. The system can be used for intraoperative guidance where a reference to a rigid anatomical structure can be identified. The user should consult the "Accuracy Characterization" section of the User Manual to assess if the accuracy of the system is suitable for their needs. The BrightMatter Pointer is intended to be used for anatomy palpation and as a pointing tool to enable spatial localization and identification by BrightMatter Guide navigational systems. The system should be operated only by trained personnel such as surgeons and other clinic staff.
Device Story
BrightMatter Pointer is a handheld passive instrument used for anatomy palpation and spatial localization within the BrightMatter Guide navigational system. The device features rigid geometry with passive reflective markers that reflect infrared (IR) signals; these markers are arranged in a unique pattern allowing the system to identify and track the pointer's location in 3D space. The pointer is constructed from titanium alloy (ASTM F136) or 17-4 stainless steel (ASTM A564). It is provided non-sterile and requires steam sterilization before use. The system is operated by surgeons and clinical staff in a surgical environment. The navigational system uses the tracked position of the pointer to provide intraoperative guidance relative to pre-operative planning data, assisting the surgeon in identifying anatomical structures and guiding surgical instruments. This aids in surgical precision and potentially improves patient outcomes by facilitating accurate navigation during cranial procedures.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. Testing included dimensional analysis, navigational accuracy verification, and biocompatibility assessments (cytotoxicity, sensitization, irritation, pyrogenicity, and endotoxin/LAL testing). Results confirmed the device meets tolerance specifications, maintains navigational accuracy equivalent to predicates, and is biocompatible and non-pyrogenic.
Technological Characteristics
Handheld passive tracking instrument. Materials: Titanium alloy (ASTM F136) or 17-4 stainless steel (ASTM A564). Tracking: Passive reflective spheres for infrared (IR) optical navigation. Reusable; requires steam sterilization. Includes calibration block (17-4 stainless steel) and anodized aluminum tray. Standalone navigational component integrated into the BrightMatter Guide system.
Indications for Use
Indicated for patients requiring neurosurgical cranial procedures where computer-assisted planning and surgery are appropriate.
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.

The system should be operated only by trained personnel such as surgeons and other clinic staff.
# DEVICE DESCRIPTION
BrightMatter Guide is a planning and image guided surgical system that enables computer assisted surgery where use of stereotactic image guidance may be considered appropriate. The BrightMatter Pointer is a handheld passive instrument which can be used for anatomy palpation using its tip. This tool can be tracked using passive reflective markers in order for BrightMatter Guide to identify and spatially track its location. There are rigid features on the subject device where the markers (passive spheres) that reflect infrared (IR) signals can be attached. The markers are arranged in a unique pattern on the device so that the BrightMatter Guide can differentiate it from other instruments. The Pointer portion of the device is provided non sterile and requires steam sterilization before use. The passive reflective markers are single-use.
The BrightMatter Pointer is made of either titanium alloy conforming to ASTM F136, Standard Specification for Wrought Titanium-6 Aluminum-4 Vanadium ELI (Extra Low Interstitial) Alloy for Surgical Implant Applications (UNS R56401) or 17-4 stainless steel conforming to ASTM A564 Standard Specification for Hot-Rolled and Cold-Finished Age-Hardening Stainless Steel Bars and Shapes.

{5}------------------------------------------------
#### SUMMARY OF NON-CLINICAL TESTING
No FDA performance standards have been established for the BrightMatter Guide with BrightMatter Pointer. The following tests were performed to demonstrate substantial equivalence between the subject and predicate devices.
| Test | Purpose | Results |
|--------------------------|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| Dimensional<br>analysis | Comparison of measured dimensions to<br>ensure tolerances are within acceptable<br>limits. | Measurements found within<br>acceptable tolerances. If outside<br>tolerance, navigational accuracy<br>testing was performed. |
| Navigational<br>accuracy | Accuracy of navigational components<br>evaluated to ensure performance of the<br>system. | Accuracy testing demonstrated<br>the subject device was as accurate<br>as the predicate device. |
| Cytotoxicity | Cytotoxicity of the device evaluated to<br>demonstrate biocompatibility. | Testing demonstrated the device<br>is not cytotoxic. |
| Sensitization | Sensitization of the device evaluated to<br>demonstrate biocompatibility. | Testing demonstrated the device<br>is not sensitizing. |
| Irritation | Irritation of the device evaluated to<br>demonstrate biocompatibility. | Testing demonstrated the device<br>is not an irritant. |
| Pyrogenicity | Material mediated pyrogenicity<br>evaluated to demonstrate the absence<br>of a febrile response in an <i>in vivo</i> model. | Testing demonstrated the device<br>is non-pyrogenic. |
| Endotoxin<br>(LAL test) | Amount of gram negative bacteria<br>evaluated to demonstrate endotoxin<br>units are within acceptable limits. | Endotoxin units were found to be<br><0.333, lower than the acceptable<br>limit. |
## EQUIVALENCE TO PREDICATE DEVICES
The subject device has a similar design and dimensions as the device originally cleared in K142024 and similar tracking mechanisms (i.e. passive spheres) as the devices cleared in K142024, K153281, and K142344. The position of the passive spheres for the subject device are identical to the device cleared in K142024. The subject device has similar indications to the devices cleared in K142024, K153281, K142344, and K080450. The subject device is reusable and has similar reprocessing procedures as those cleared in K142024 and K080450.
This submission does not include any changes to the previously cleared components of the BrightMatter navigational systems except the Pointer tool.
Synaptive is currently unaware of another Pointer tool on the market that is made of titanium alloy. Therefore, complete biocompatibility testing has been performed to demonstrate substantial equivalence of the new material.
Synaptive Medical, Inc. believes that the BrightMatter Pointer is substantially equivalent to the predicate devices based on the information summarized in the table below.
{6}------------------------------------------------
# CONCLUSION
The proposed BrightMatter Guide with BrightMatter Pointer is considered substantially equivalent to the predicate devices based on the testing performed, the similar indications for use, and similar technological characteristics.
