Intended Use

The SYMPHONY Navigation Ready Instruments when used with the compatible Universal Navigation Adaptor Set are intended to assist the surgeon in locating anatomical structures in either open or percutaneous procedures. These are indicated for use in surgical spinal procedures, in which: • the use of SYMPHONY OCT System is indicated, • the use of stereotactic surgery may be appropriate, and • reference to a rigid anatomical structure, such as a vertebrae 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 using a navigation system and associated tracking arrays. These procedures include but are not limited to spinal fusion. The SYMPHONY Navigation Ready Instruments can be: • pre-calibrated with the VELYS™ SPINE Navigation using the VELYS™ SPINE Instrument Arrays, • pre-calibrated and/or manually calibrated with the Brainlab Navigation System using the UNAS Navigation Arrays, • manually calibrated with other navigation systems, using tracking arrays supplied by the navigation system manufacturer. The SYMPHONY Navigation Ready Instruments are intended to support indicated cervical and thoracic polyaxial screw placement.

Device Story

Reusable surgical instruments for preparation and insertion of SYMPHONY OCT screws; used in open or percutaneous spinal procedures. Instruments integrate with navigation systems (VELYS SPINE, Brainlab, or others) via Universal Navigation Adaptor Set (UNAS) and tracking arrays. Surgeon uses navigation system to track instrument position relative to patient anatomy (CT, MR, or fluoroscopic images). System assists surgeon in locating anatomical structures and guiding screw placement. Benefits include improved accuracy in spinal instrumentation. Operated by surgeons in clinical/OR settings.

Clinical Evidence

No clinical data. Evidence consists of bench testing: navigation system instrument accuracy requirements, CAD model evaluation, simulated use evaluation, biocompatibility (ISO 10993-1:2018), and sterilization validation (ISO 17664-1:2021).

Technological Characteristics

Materials: stainless steel and silicone rubber. Reusable instruments. Navigation via tracking arrays and Universal Navigation Adaptor Set (UNAS). Sterilization per ISO 17664-1:2021. Biocompatibility per ISO 10993-1:2018.

Indications for Use

Indicated for patients undergoing surgical spinal procedures, including spinal fusion, where the SYMPHONY OCT System is used and stereotactic surgery is appropriate. Supports cervical and thoracic polyaxial screw placement.

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" U.S. Food & Drug Administration 10903 New Hampshire Avenue Silver Spring, MD 20993 www.fda.gov {1} K260240 - Sophia Chang Page 2 (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).

Predicate Device Names Primary Predicate Device: Symphony Navigation Ready Instruments and Universal Navigation Adaptor Set (K201661) – OLO Reference Devices: TELIGEN System Navigation Ready Instruments (K233254) – OLO Spine Navigation and Robotic-Assistance Device (K233228) – OLO Page 1 of 3 {5} K260240 ## E. Device Description ### The SYMPHONY™ Navigation Ready Instruments The SYMPHONY Navigation Ready Instruments are reusable instruments used for the preparation for and insertion of SYMPHONY OCT screws, in either open or percutaneous procedures. These instruments are designed for navigated and non-navigated use. Navigation of these instruments is achieved using the DePuy Synthes Universal Navigation Adaptor Set (UNAS). For further details on UNAS, refer to the UNAS labeling. ## F. Indications for Use The proposed indications for use are as follows: The SYMPHONY Navigation Ready Instruments when used with the compatible Universal Navigation Adaptor Set are intended to assist the surgeon in locating anatomical structures in either open or percutaneous procedures. These are indicated for use in surgical spinal procedures, in which: - the use of SYMPHONY OCT System is indicated, - the use of stereotactic surgery may be appropriate, and - reference to a rigid anatomical structure, such as a vertebrae 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 using a navigation system and associated tracking arrays. These procedures include but are not limited to spinal fusion. The SYMPHONY Navigation Ready Instruments can be: - pre-calibrated with the VELYS™ SPINE Navigation using the VELYS™ SPINE Instrument Arrays, - pre-calibrated and/or manually calibrated with the Brainlab Navigation System using the UNAS Navigation Arrays, - manually calibrated with other navigation systems, using tracking arrays supplied by the navigation system manufacturer. The SYMPHONY Navigation Ready Instruments are intended to support indicated cervical and thoracic polyaxial screw placement. ## G. Summary of Similarities and Differences in Technological Characteristics, Performance, and Intended Use The technological characteristics, including design, material and performance as well as intended use of SYMPHONY Navigation Ready Instruments are consistent with those of the predicate devices. Page 2 of 3 {6} K260240 Compared to the predicate devices, the subject devices expand the scope of the SYMPHONY Navigation Ready Instruments for compatibility with an additional Navigation System, the VELYS™ SPINE Navigation. Like predicate devices, the SYMPHONY Navigation Ready Instruments are indicated for use when implanting SYMPHONY OCT screws. Compatibility with the VELYS™ SPINE Navigation is established via the existing VELYS™ Spine Instrument Arrays. This does not raise new questions of safety and effectiveness based on application of recognized consensus standards and design controls. H. Materials The subject device is manufactured from stainless steel and silicone rubber. I. Performance Data The performance data for the subject device consists of the following evaluations: - Fulfillment of navigation system instrument accuracy requirements, - CAD Model Evaluation, - Simulated Use Evaluation, - Biocompatibility verification according to ISO 10993-1:2018, - Sterilization validation of the reusable devices was conducted according to ISO 17664-1:2021. J. Conclusion The indications for use of SYMPHONY Navigation Ready Instruments are consistent with those of the predicate devices. The technological characteristics of SYMPHONY Navigation Ready Instruments in terms of design, materials and performance are consistent with those of the predicate devices. SYMPHONY Navigation Ready Instruments are substantially equivalent to the predicate devices. Page 3 of 3
