The Globus ExcelsiusGPS system includes the navigation platform software and hardware while the subject instruments are used in in place of the Globus instruments. The subject does not include its own navigation platform. There are no differences between the subject and predicate devices which raise questions for the safety and efficacy of the subject devices.
#### PERFORMANCE DATA
The CORUS™ Navigation System-GN instruments have been evaluated through an engineering analysis and geometric comparison to predicate devices and a registration validation to establish substantial equivalence. The results of this engineering analysis show that the subject instruments are substantially equivalent to the cleared predicate. The results of the registration validation show that the subject instruments are compatible with the software.
The results of this non-clinical testing show that the CORUS™ Navigation System-GN is sufficient for its intended use and is substantially equivalent to legally marketed predicate devices.
#### CONCLUSION
The overall technological characteristics and performance lead to the conclusion that the CORUS™ Navigation System-GN is substantially equivalent to the predicate device.
