Intended Use
iFuse-Navigation instruments are intended to be used with the iFuse Implant System to assist the surgeon in precisely locating anatomical structures in iFuse procedures, in which the use of stereotactic surgery may be appropriate, and where reference to a rigid anatomical structure, such as the pelvis or vertebra can be identified relative to the acquired image (CT, MR, 2D fluoroscopic image or 3D fluoroscopic image reconstruction) and/or an image data based model of the anatomy. iFuse-Navigation instruments are intended to be used with the Medtronic StealthStation System.
Device Story
iFuse-Navigation instruments are reusable manual surgical tools designed to interface with the Medtronic StealthStation Navigation System. They assist surgeons in precisely locating anatomical structures during iFuse procedures. The system uses pre-acquired patient images (CT, MR, or fluoroscopic) to provide dynamic, multi-plane 3D/2D graphical representations of instrument and implant placement. The device includes a mounting bracket for TeraTracker connection, enabling compatibility with O-arm imaging. Surgeons use the real-time navigation output to guide implant placement, improving accuracy in complex or minimally invasive procedures. The device is intended for use in clinical settings by trained surgeons.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. Testing included registration verification, accuracy comparison against reference instruments, rigidity testing of the TeraTracker connection, and compatibility evaluation with the iFuse Implant System.
Technological Characteristics
Reusable manual surgical instruments constructed of stainless steel, PEEK, and titanium alloy. Features a mounting bracket for TeraTracker integration. Designed for use with Medtronic StealthStation navigation and O-arm imaging systems. No electronic components; passive navigation interface.
Indications for Use
Indicated for patients undergoing iFuse procedures where stereotactic surgery is appropriate and anatomical structures (pelvis or vertebra) can be referenced against CT, MR, or fluoroscopic images/models.
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.

#### IV. DEVICE DESCRIPTION
The iFuse-Navigation instrument set is comprised of reusable manual surgical instruments specifically designed for use with the iFuse Implant System. 8 These instruments are designed to interface with the already-cleared Medtronic StealthStation® Navigation System to assist surgeons in precisely locating anatomical structures for placement of iFuse implants. This surgical imaging technology provides visualization for complex and MIS procedures and confirms the accuracy of advanced surgical procedures. Use of these navigation systems provides the surgeon access to dynamic, graphical representation of multi-plane 3D images (and 2D images) providing indication of instrument and implant placement.

### V. INDICATIONS FOR USE
iFuse-Navigation instruments are intended to be used with the iFuse Implant System to assist the surgeon in precisely locating anatomical structures in iFuse procedures, in which the use of stereotactic surgery may be appropriate, and where reference to a rigid anatomical structure, such as the pelvis or vertebra can be identified relative to the acquired image (CT, MR, 2D fluoroscopic image or 3D fluoroscopic image reconstruction) and/or an image data based model of the anatomy. iFuse-Navigation instruments are intended to be used with the Medtronic StealthStation System.
### TECHNOLOGICAL CHARACTERISTICS COMPARED TO THE PREDICATE VI.
The iFuse Navigation instruments are intended to be used with the iFuse Implant System® (implants and instruments). The iFuse-Navigation instruments are designed to interface with the already-cleared Medtronic StealthStation® Navigation System to assist surgeons in precisely locating anatomical structures for placement of iFuse implants. These instruments have similar designs as the predicate instruments and incorporate the additional design features based on the reference devices to enable navigation and use with the StealthStation TeraTrackers. Like the predicate devices, the subject iFuse-Navigation instruments are made of stainless steel, PEEK and titanium alloy.
The iFuse-Navigation set is intended to be used with the Medtronic StealthStation using an O-arm imaging system instead of a C-arm imaging system. Based on that, the subject device includes a mounting bracket to enable the connection of a TeraTracker™.
The instrument modifications detailed in this submission have no impact on the technological characteristics of either the existing iFuse Implant System implants, instruments, or the StealthStation®.
# VII. PERFORMANCE DATA
Testing was completed to ensure the functionality and compatibility with the identified Medtronic products. The following table summarizes the performance testing completed:
| Test | Description |
|---------------------------------------------------|--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| Registration | Registration testing was performed to ensure that the instruments can be registered to the StealthStation.® |
| Accuracy | Accuracy testing was completed for comparison to the reference instruments. |
| Rigidity | Rigidity testing evaluated the connection between the TeraTracker and the instruments. |
| Compatibility<br>with the iFuse<br>Implant System | Compatibility with the iFuse Implant System has been evaluated to ensure that the iFuse-Navigation instruments are compatible with the iFuse Implant System. |
{5}------------------------------------------------
# VIII. CONCLUSIONS
The intended use of the subject iFuse-Navigation instruments, as part of the iFuse Implant System, is substantially equivalent to the intended use of the predicate instruments. The verification and validation results support substantial equivalence of the iFuse- Navigation instruments compared to the predicate and reference devices.
