Device Story
EM ENT Navigated Suctions are handheld, reusable surgical instruments used with Medtronic computer-assisted surgery systems. A mobile emitter generates a low-energy magnetic field to track the position of an EM ENT Instrument Tracker attached to the suction device. The system displays the instrument tip's location within pre-operative CT or MR image planes and anatomical renderings. Used by surgeons in ENT procedures to navigate anatomy and remove fluids, tissue, and bone dust. Provides real-time visual feedback to the surgeon, aiding in precise localization during complex procedures like skull base or sinus surgery; benefits include improved surgical accuracy and navigation.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. Testing included navigational accuracy (1.54 mm error at 95% confidence in controlled environment; 1.73 mm error in simulated surgical environment), suction functionality, design specification conformance, and electrical safety. No clinical data provided.
Technological Characteristics
Materials: Stainless steel, titanium, and AES Santoprene® 8281-90 (patient-contacting cable). Sensing: Electromagnetic tracking via proximal tracker. Connectivity: Integrates with Medtronic computer-assisted surgery systems. Form factor: Handheld suction with various fixed shaft configurations (straight, 45°, 70°, 90°). Reusable instruments; trackers supplied sterile single-use.
Indications for Use
Indicated for patients undergoing navigated ENT procedures, including CSF leak repair, intranasal, orbital decompression, polyposis, endoscopic dacryocystorhinostomy, sinus procedures (maxillary antrostomies, ethmoidectomies, sphenoidotomies/explorations, turbinate resections, frontal sinusotomies), pituitary tumor removal, skull base, transsphenoidal, optic nerve decompression, and encephalocele procedures.
Regulatory Classification
Identification
A stereotaxic instrument is a device consisting of a rigid frame with a calibrated guide mechanism for precisely positioning probes or other devices within a patient's brain, spinal cord, or other part of the nervous system.

a The Class I Medtronic ENT suction devices were released to market on June 6, 1997. They were recently sold to another company in 2014.
### X. Discussion of the Performance Testing
Testing was completed to ensure the functionality and compatibility with the identified Medtronic products. Specifically, testing with the StealthStation® System and EM ENT Suction instruments was conducted to ensure acceptable navigational accuracy, suction capability, conformance to design specifications and electrical safety testing. Test samples were subjected to simulated real-life use conditions including repeated functional testing.
### XI. Conclusions
The EM ENT Navigated Suction Instruments have been shown through comparative and bench testing to be substantially equivalent to the identified predicate devices.
