Intended Use
Phantom XL Insulated Dilators are indicated for use during surgery of the spine to deliver an electrical stimulus to the tissues and nerves at the operative site, to assist in locating those nerves at risk during the surgical procedure.
Device Story
Phantom XL Insulated Dilators are single-use, sterile, monopolar instruments used during spinal surgery. The device delivers electrical stimulation to tissues and nerves at the operative site to assist surgeons in identifying nerves at risk during procedures. The device is operated by a surgeon in an intraoperative setting. The output is the delivery of electrical current, which the surgeon uses to monitor neurological responses and guide surgical navigation. The device is provided in four diameter sizes and is designed to facilitate safe surgical access by helping avoid nerve injury.
Clinical Evidence
No clinical data provided. Substantial equivalence is supported by bench testing, including packaging integrity, seal strength, shipping container performance, and accelerated aging studies to validate the 5-year shelf life. Sterilization validation was performed per ISO 11135 and related standards.
Technological Characteristics
Monopolar needle electrode; sterile; single-use; EtO sterilized. Compliant with IEC 60601-1 (electrical safety) and ISO 10993 (biocompatibility). Packaging compliant with ASTM F1886, F2096, F88, D4169, and ISO 11607. Shelf life: 5 years.
Indications for Use
Indicated for use during spinal surgery to deliver electrical stimulation to tissues and nerves at the operative site to assist in nerve localization.
Regulatory Classification
Identification
A needle electrode is a device which is placed subcutaneously to stimulate or to record electrical signals.

Dear Lynne Davies:
We have reviewed your Section 510(k) premarket notification of intent to market the device referenced above and have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to legally marketed predicate devices marketed in interstate commerce prior to May 28, 1976, the enactment date of the Medical Device Amendments, or to devices that have been reclassified in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (Act) that do not require approval of a premarket approval application (PMA). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. Although this letter refers to your product as a device, please be aware that some cleared products may instead be combination products. The 510(k) Premarket Notification Database located at https://www.accessdata.fda.gov/scripts/cdrh/cfdocs/cfpmn/pmn.cfm identifies combination product submissions. The general controls provisions of the Act include requirements for annual registration, listing of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration. Please note: CDRH does not evaluate information related to contract liability warranties. We remind you, however, that device labeling must be truthful and not misleading.
If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 898. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register.
Please be advised that FDA's issuance of a substantial equivalence determination does not mean that FDA has made a determination that your device complies with other requirements of the Act or any Federal statutes and regulations administered by other Federal agencies. You must comply with all the Act's
{1}------------------------------------------------

Additional verification and validation testing were completed in accordance with the company's Design Control process in compliance with 21 CFR Part 820.30, including the following:
- 1. Bench testing for sterility in compliance with the standards cited above
- 2. Bench testing for new expiration dating in compliance with the standards cited above
- 3. Bench testing for packaging integrity in compliance with the standards cited above
## F. Conclusion
Potential risks were identified according to the ISO 14971 Standard. The risks were analyzed with regard to risk/benefit category and mitigations were implemented and tested as part of the performance testing described above for the changes submitted. No new risks were identified for the modifications to the devices. All risk mitigations were satisfactorily verified and validated in compliance with the company's Design Control Process. Where there were differences from the predicate, these were shown not to result in any new issues of safety or effectiveness according to the performance data submitted. Therefore, the non-clinical performance data provided demonstrates that the TSI Phantom XL Dilators are safe for use perform comparably to the predicate device that is currently marketed for the same intended use.
