Intended Use
The CORUS™ Navigation Access System for use with the CORUS™ Spinal System is intended to be used during spinal surgery to assist the surgeon in locating and preparing facet joints in either open, or minimally invasive procedures. The CORUSTM Navigation Access System is specifically designed for use with the Medtronic StealthStation™ System, which 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 a long bone, or vertebra can be identified relative to a CT or MR-based model, fluoroscopy images, or digitized landmarks of the anatomy.
Device Story
Manually operated, disposable instrument set; includes Navigated Access Chisel, Guide Tube, and Trephine Decorticator. Used in spinal surgery to assist surgeons in locating and preparing facet joints. Designed for integration with Medtronic StealthStation™ System; utilizes stereotactic navigation to track instrument position relative to patient anatomy (CT/MR/fluoroscopy). Provides physical site preparation; navigation output assists surgeon in precise instrument placement. Used in OR by surgeons. Benefits include improved precision in facet joint preparation during open or minimally invasive spinal procedures.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. Evaluation included engineering analysis, geometric comparison to predicate devices, and validation of navigation compatibility with the Medtronic StealthStation™ System. No clinical data presented.
Technological Characteristics
Materials: Stainless steel. Components: Navigated Access Chisel, Guide Tube, Trephine Decorticator. Energy: Manual operation. Connectivity: Compatible with Medtronic StealthStation™ System for navigation. Sterilization: Not specified. Form factor: Disposable surgical instruments.
Indications for Use
Indicated for patients undergoing spinal surgery requiring facet joint location and preparation in open or minimally invasive procedures, where stereotactic surgery is appropriate and anatomical reference to rigid structures (e.g., vertebrae) via CT, MR, or fluoroscopy is possible.
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.

Dear Ms. Taggart:
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 (the 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 available 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.
Additional information about changes that may require a new premarket notification are provided in the FDA guidance documents entitled "Deciding When to Submit a 510(k) for a Change to an Existing Device" (https://www.fda.gov/media/99812/download) and "Deciding When to Submit a 510(k) for a Software Change to an Existing Device" (https://www.fda.gov/media/99785/download).
