## III. Device Description
The Surgify Halo is a sterile-packaged, single-use rotary cutting device (a burr) made from high-grade metallic materials, designed to cut bone and other hard tissues selectively while minimizing chattering. The device is similar to conventional surgical cutting burrs but includes a ring mechanism in the burr head to reduce chattering. Like traditional burrs, the device is designed to be compatible with commonly marketed, high-speed, surgical drill systems.
The Surgify Halo comprises:
- A head part, which is shaped to have cutting edge(s) to cut hard tissue.
- Dynamically positioned ring surrounding the burr head that controls the exposure of the cutting edge(s) decreasing chattering and enabling the tissue selective feature.
- A shaft, which transfers rotary movement from the drill motor to the head.
- An end-attachment feature, which allows the Surgify Halo to be locked to commonly marketed high-speed, surgical drill systems.
## IV. Indications for Use
Surgify Halo is a sterile surgical burr indicated for shaping and removal of hard tissue and bone in Neurosurgical, Spinal, ENT, and general surgical procedures.
## V. Technological Characteristics
The technological characteristics of the subject Surgify Halo remain the same as the previously cleared device under K251433.
The similarities and differences do not alter the intended use of the device, nor do they affect the safety and effectiveness of the subject device relative to the predicate. Both the subject and predicate devices have the same intended use for shaping and removal of hard tissue and bone in Neurological, Spinal, ENT and general surgical procedures. The proposed modifications of adding new models for the optional burr size of 3.0 mm is verified to ensure overall performance remains the same as the predicate with acceptable results.
In summary, the subject device has the following technological characteristics which are same as the predicate device:
1. Intended use/Indications for Use: The intended use/indications for use of the subject device are identical to those of the predicate device i.e. for shaping and removal of hard tissue and bone in Neurological, Spinal, ENT and general surgical procedures.
2. Environment of Use: The environment of use remains the same as the predicate, i.e., hospital use.
3. Technology (Operating Principle): The subject device operates on the same fundamental principle as the predicate device i.e., controlled exposure of the cutting edge(s) through a dynamically positioned protective ring surrounding the burr head. During operation, rotational motion transmitted from the drill motor drives the burr head, while the protective ring adjusts its radial position in response to tissue interaction. This movement allows the cutting edge(s) to be exposed during engagement with hard tissue and covered when encountering soft tissue. The
{6}

Pre-market Submission: Traditional 510(k) Surgify Halo
overall mechanism and operational sequence remain consistent with the predicate device.
4. Design Configuration: The Surgify Halo Burr consists of a cylindrical shank with locking features at the distal end that securely attach the burr to the drill handpiece for stability. The burr head contains precision cutting edge(s) for efficient shaping and removal of bone and hard tissue. An end-attachment feature allows the Surgify Halo to be locked to commonly marketed high-speed surgical drill systems.
5. Materials Compatibility: Indirect tissue and bone contacting materials meet biocompatibility requirements.
6. Compatible Interface: The device is compatible with commonly available surgical drill handpieces and attachments, allowing for flexible integration into existing surgical setups.
7. Sterility: Single-use, Gamma Sterilization
