The registry data included data from 35 institutions currently using the ClearPoint System in practice. Accuracy placement data were available on 1,259 procedures, 828 of which were for DBS lead placement. {7}------------------------------------------------ Results from the company's bench accuracy tests demonstrated that the mean error across device configurations was below 1mm, with the highest standard deviation being 0.45mm and the highest 99% confidence limit being 1.52mm. Angular errors were all below 1°, with the highest standard deviation being 0.55° and the highest 99% confidence limit being 1.40°. These observed values are all below the 2mm and 2° accuracy limits for a stereotaxic device intended for general neurological use. #### Substantial Equivalence The ClearPoint System is as safe and effective as the predicate ClearPoint System (K160434). The ClearPoint System has the same intended use and similar indications, technological characteristics, and principles of operation as the predicate device. Thus the ClearPoint System that is the subject of this submission is substantially equivalent to the previously cleared ClearPoint System.
