Intended Use

The StealthStation™ System, with Station™ Cranial software, is intended as an aid for locating anatomical structures in either open or percutaneous neurosurgical 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. This can include, but is not limited to, the following cranial procedures (including stereotactic frame-based and stereotactic frame alternatives-based procedures ): - Tumor resections - General ventricular catheter placement - Pediatric ventricular catheter placement - Depth electrode, lead, and probe placement - Cranial biopsies The user should consult the "Navigational Accuracy" section of the User Manual to assess if the accuracy of the system is suitable for their needs.

Device Story

Image-guided surgery system (IGS) for neurosurgery; tracks surgical instruments relative to patient anatomy using optical or electromagnetic (EM) localization. Inputs: diagnostic/intraoperative images (CT, MR, X-ray, nuclear medicine). Operation: surgeon uses system to register patient anatomy to images; software displays instrument position in real-time on 2D/3D views. Features: planning, registration (PointMerge, Tracer, Touch, StealthAiR, O-arm, mechanical), and interfaces with microscopes/ultrasound. Output: visual navigation guidance on display. Used in OR by neurosurgeons to assist in precise instrument placement for biopsies, resections, and catheter/lead placement. Benefits: improved anatomical localization accuracy; facilitates minimally invasive approaches.

Clinical Evidence

No clinical data. Bench testing only. Performance validated using anatomically representative phantoms in simulated use settings. 3D positional accuracy mean error ≤ 1.48 mm and trajectory angle error ≤ 0.60 degrees across optical, EM, and mechanical localization modes. Testing confirmed compliance with AAMI/ANSI ES 60601-1 and IEC 60601-1-2.

Technological Characteristics

Intel-based PC running Ubuntu Linux. Optical (Vega localizer) and EM (AxiEM III) tracking. Connectivity: Ethernet, 2.4/5.0 GHz wireless, DICOM import/export. Software: C++ based. Interfaces: Microscope (Zeiss, Leica), Ultrasound (Aloka, Sonosite), O-arm, stereotactic frames (Fischer, Integra, Elekta, Nexframe, STarFix).

Indications for Use

Indicated for patients undergoing open or percutaneous neurosurgical procedures where stereotactic surgery is appropriate and rigid anatomical structures (e.g., skull) can be referenced to imaging. Includes tumor resections, ventricular catheter placement (general/pediatric), depth electrode/lead/probe placement, and cranial biopsies.

Regulatory Classification

Identification

Product Description: The StealthStation™ S8 System, with StealthStation™ Cranial v1.0.0 software helps guide surgeons during cranial surgical procedures such as biopsies, tumor resections, and shunt and lead placements. The StealthStation™ Cranial v1.0.0 software (cranial software) works in conjunction with an Image Guided System (IGS) which consists of clinical software, surgical instruments, a referencing system and platform/computer hardware. Image quidance, also called navigation, tracks the position of instruments in relation to the surgical anatomy and identifies this position on diagnostic or intraoperative images of the patient. During surgery, positions of specialized surgical instruments are continuously updated on these images either by optical tracking or electromagnetic tracking. Cranial software functionality is described in terms of its feature sets which are categorized as imaging modalities, registration, planning, interfaces with medical devices, and views. Feature sets include functionality that contributes to clinical decision making and are necessary to achieve system performance. #### VIII.
