Intended Use

The Ad-Tech Anchor Bolts are optional accessories for use with Depth Electrodes. The Anchor Bolts may be applied when it is desired to minimize concerns about potential cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) leakage and infection of the subdural space while stabilizing the electrode. Anchor Bolts are secured in the skull to provide an access point for Depth Electrodes.

Device Story

Anchor Bolts serve as skull-mounted access points and stabilization supports for depth electrodes; used during intraoperative and neurological monitoring procedures. Device threaded into pre-drilled skull hole; provides mechanical retention (>100g force) for depth electrodes; minimizes CSF leakage and subdural space infection risk. Operated by physicians/surgeons in clinical settings. Device is passive; no electronic or algorithmic components. Benefits include secure electrode placement and reduced risk of complications during monitoring. MR Conditional status allows use in MRI environments under specified conditions.

Clinical Evidence

Bench testing only. No clinical data. Performance evaluations conducted to address MR environment hazards, including image artifact, magnetically induced displacement force, torque, and RF-induced heating, following FDA guidance and ASTM standards.

Technological Characteristics

Passive mechanical device. Materials: Titanium, Silicone (inner lumen gasket), Parylene. Dimensions: 13-26 mm length; compatible with 0.86-1.3 mm diameter depth electrodes. Retention force >100g. MR Conditional. Sterilization: Provided sterile; placement/removal wrench is user-sterilizable.

Indications for Use

Indicated for use as an accessory to depth electrodes to provide an access point through the skull and stabilize the electrode. Contraindicated for patients at risk for infection, patients where the procedure cannot be performed safely, or patients with softening of the skull or low skull bone density.

Regulatory Classification

Performance Data Ad-Tech, in conjunction with University of Houston, has conducted performance evaluations of the Anchor Bolts to address hazards in the MR environment. As per the Guidance: Testing and Labeling Medical Devices for Safety in the Magnetic Resonance (MR) Environment, issued May 20, 2021, for passive devices, evaluations were conducted for image artifact, magnetically induced displacement force, magnetically induced torque and RF induced heating. Results of the testing allow the device to be labeled MR Conditional and the results summaries follow. {6}------------------------------------------------ | Hazard Addressed | Test Method Used | Acceptance<br>Criterion | Medical Device<br>Configuration Tested | Summary of Test<br>Results and pass/fail<br>if Appropriate | |--------------------------------------------|--------------------------------------------------|------------------------------------------|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| | Image Artifact | ASTM F2119-13 | No Criteria,<br>Descriptive<br>Statement | Device with the<br>maximum mass/linear<br>length | Adoption from 3.0T<br>tests since 3.0T is the<br>worst-case. | | Magnetically Induced<br>displacement force | ASTM F2052-15 | <45° deflection | The device with<br>maximum mass | Adoption from 3.0T<br>tests since 3.0T is the<br>worst-case. | | Magnetically Induced<br>Torque | ASTM F2213-17,<br>Low friction surface<br>method | <45° rotation | The device with<br>maximum mass | Adoption from 3.0T<br>tests since 3.0T is the<br>worst-case. | | RF Induced Heating | ASTM F2182-19e2 | <6°C | Based on the<br>ISO10974<br>methodology and<br>devices with different<br>lengths, different<br>electrode designs, and<br>different insertion<br>depths were studied. | Under the condition<br>defined in the<br>labeling, the MR<br>induced heating will<br>be less than <6°C | Table 2: 1.5T Test Result Summary ## Table 3: 3.0T Test Result Summary | Hazard Addressed | Test Method Used | Acceptance<br>Criterion | Medical Device<br>Configuration Tested | Summary of Test<br>Results and pass/fail if<br>Appropriate | |--------------------------------------------|--------------------------------------------------|------------------------------------------|---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| | Image artifact | ASTM F2119-13 | No Criteria,<br>Descriptive<br>Statement | Device with the<br>maximum mass/linear<br>length | Image distortion of 19<br>mm from the edge of the<br>device | | Magnetically Induced<br>Displacement Force | ASTM F2052-15 | <45° deflection | The device with<br>maximum mass | pass | | Magnetically Induced<br>Torque | ASTM F2213-17,<br>Low friction surface<br>method | <45° rotation | The device with<br>maximum mass | pass | | RF Induced Heating | ASTM F2182-19e2 | <6°C | Based on the<br>ISO10974<br>methodology and<br>devices with different<br>lengths, different<br>electrode designs, and<br>different insertion<br>depths were studied | Under the condition<br>defined in the labeling,<br>the MR induced heating<br>will be less than <6°C | #### l.
