Indications for Use
The CARTO® ENT System is intended for use during intranasal image-guided navigation procedures for patients who are eligible for sinus procedures.
Device Story
CARTO ENT System provides real-time navigation for ENT physicians during intranasal/paranasal sinus procedures. System components include navigation console, field ring, instrument hub, patient tracker, and workstation. Magnetic field generated by field ring induces current in magnetic sensor at tip of flexible navigated tool; system calculates tool tip position relative to pre-acquired CT images. Patient tracker fixed to patient forehead compensates for head movement. Physician views tool tip icon overlaid on registered CT images on workstation display. Real-time visualization aids precise location of anatomical structures, potentially improving surgical accuracy and patient outcomes. System supports manual and force-sensing registration probe modes.
Clinical Evidence
No clinical data. Evidence consists of bench testing and pre-clinical cadaver studies. Bench tests included proof of design electrical tests, location accuracy (0.55 mm ± 0.7 mm), software functional tests, and simulated use accuracy (0.63 mm ± 0.2 mm). Pre-clinical cadaver tests assessed sinuplasty workflow and qualitative clinical accuracy.
Technological Characteristics
Electromagnetic tracking system; uses CT image sets for reference. Components: Navigation console, field ring, instrument hub, patient tracker, workstation. Flexible navigated tools with embedded magnetic sensors. Registration via manual or force-sensing probe (1-10g range). Software-controlled navigation. Connectivity: Workstation-based. Sterilization: Not specified.
Indications for Use
Indicated for patients eligible for sinus procedures requiring intranasal and paranasal image-guided navigation.
Regulatory Classification
Identification

[807.92(a)(4)] Device Description
The CARTO® ENT System is intended to be used during intranasal and Device Description: paranasal surgical procedures to help ENT physicians to track and display the real-time location of the tip of navigated instruments relative to pre-acquired reference images, such as CT. The CARTO® ENT device enables ENT physicians to access sphenoid, frontal, and maxillary sinuses by using the system magnetic tracking technology. The system incorporates a Navigation Console, Field Ring, Instrument Hub, Patient Tracker, Workstation and accessories. A magnetic field generated by the Field Ring induces a current in the magnetic sensor embedded in the tip of the flexible navigated tool, which helps to accurately calculate the tool tip position. A CT image is imported and registered to the patient coordinates and a tool tip icon is displayed on top of the registered image, indicating the position of the tool in

## Table 1: Comparison of Predicate and Subject Device
| Attribute | Fiagon Navigation System | CARTO® ENT Navigation System |
|-----------------------------------|--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| | Predicate | Subject Device |
| Intended Use | Intended as an aid for precisely locating<br>anatomical structures in either open or<br>percutaneous neurosurgical procedures. | Intended for use during intranasal and paranasal<br>image-guided navigation procedures |
| Fundamental Scientific Technology | Electromagnetic tracking | Same |
| Control Mechanism | Software controlled | Same |
| Navigation method | Electromagnetic location in reference to<br>registered CT/MR background of patient head | Same, CT only |
| Registration method | Fiducial matching and surface matching | Same |
| Bench test location accuracy | 0.9 mm<br>(Standard deviation 0.34 mm) | 0.55 mm<br>(Standard deviation 0.7 mm) |
| Simulated Use Accuracy | 1.79 mm<br>(Standard deviation 0.4 mm) | 0.63 mm<br>(Standard deviation 0.2 mm) |
| Location update rate | 15 to 45 Hz | 10 Hz |
| Main components | 1. Navigation unit<br>2. Head rest with field generator<br>3. Patient reference localizer<br>4. Navigation instrument | 1. Same (Navigation console)<br>2. Same (Field Ring)<br>3. Same (Patient Tracker)<br>4. Same (Acclarent NavWire, not included with<br>CARTO® ENT System) |
| Supported navigation instruments | Flexible tip instruments with magnetic sensor<br>on instrument tip | Same |
| Registration tools | Registration pointer, manual acquisition of<br>anatomic points and surfaces | Registration probe, manual or force sensing<br>acquisition of anatomic points and surfaces |
| Registration Probe Sensing | No | Force measurement range 1 to 10 gr.<br>Automatic acquisition of registration points or<br>surfaces. |
The primary difference between the Fiagon Navigation System and CARTO® ENT Navigation System is that on top of manual registration supported by the Fiagon system, where the physician manually selects points and surfaces to be registered, the CARTO® ENT System also supports a force sensing registration mode, where points and surfaces are automatic acquired when adequate pressure is applied with the registration probe on the patient face. Since the physician is instructed to verify the quality of the registration, this addition does not raise new issues of safety and effectiveness.

The CARTO® ENT System was tested to ensure that it functions Non-Clinical in accordance with the system design specifications related to Performance Data: substantial equivalence in terms of device safety and effectiveness. The following nonclinical tests were performed: 1. Proof of Design electrical tests, to verify all hardware modules perform within specifications. 2. Location Accuracy tests, where the CARTO® ENT System electromagnetic locations were compared to the locations provided by a, very accurate robot system over the entire navigation volume, to verify the system precision claim. 3. Software functional tests, covering the complete system functionality, and including error handling, usability and time performance (latency). Safety and EMC tests were performed by a nationally 4. recognized testing laboratory to verify compliance with safety and EMC standards for medical devices. 5. Simulated use accuracy test, in which a complete CT image registration and instrument navigation workflow was performed, to verify the overall accuracy of the system. 6. Pre-clinical (cadaver) tests were designed to mimic surgical procedures using the CARTO® ENT System in a simulated clinical environment, to assess the execution of a complete sinuplasty procedure workflow and to qualitatively estimate the system clinical accuracy. The results of the above tests support the safety of the device and demonstrate that the CARTO® ENT System perform as intended in the specified use conditions. The tests also demonstrate that the device performs comparably to the predicate device for the same intended use. [807.92(b) (2)] Determination of Substantial Equivalence Clinical data was not necessary for the CARTO® ENT System. Clinical Performance Data: The performance data demonstrated that the device performs as intended.
