### Intended Use 6.0

The XPS Drill System is primarily intended for the controlled incision or removal of bonc in the ear, nose, throat and other areas of the head and neck.

#### 7.0 Substantial Equivalence

The new XPS Drill System is the same drill system that was previously cleared by K904850 Xomed now intends to market this system for ENT and Head and Neck surgery. In so doing, we have made some minor changes to the labeling, i.e. the instruction manual and the console None of these changes are significant and are typical of any ENT drill. As an ENT drill, the XPS Drill System is also substantially equivalent to the MPS Powerforma currently marketed by Xomed (K960853). Information from the MPS Powerforma manual was used in modifying the Micro Motors manual for the proposed XPS Drill.
