Intended Use
The ACCLARENT® ENT Navigation System is intended for use during intranasal and paranasal image-guided navigation procedures for patients who are eligible for sinus procedures.
Device Story
System provides real-time tracking of navigated surgical instruments during intranasal and paranasal procedures. Inputs: pre-acquired CT images and electromagnetic signals from sensors in instrument tips. Operation: Field Ring generates magnetic field; induces current in instrument sensor to calculate position; system registers CT images to patient anatomy; displays tool tip icon on registered image. Used in surgical settings by ENT physicians. Output: visual display of instrument location relative to patient anatomy. Benefit: assists surgeon in navigating sphenoid, frontal, and maxillary sinuses; improves procedural accuracy.
Clinical Evidence
No clinical data. Substantial equivalence supported by non-clinical bench testing, including electrical safety, EMC, mechanical testing, location accuracy verification against a robotic system, software functional testing, and pre-clinical cadaver studies simulating sinuplasty workflows.
Technological Characteristics
Electromagnetic tracking system; includes Navigation Console, Field Ring, Instrument Hub, Patient Tracker, and Registration Probe. Uses pre-acquired CT images for navigation. Connectivity: Workstation-based. Software-driven tracking of magnetic sensors in flexible tools.
Indications for Use
Indicated for patients eligible for sinus procedures requiring intranasal and paranasal image-guided navigation.
Regulatory Classification
Identification

| Difference in Indications<br>from Predicate Device: | The intended use of the device is unchanged from the predicate. |
| [807.92(a)(6)] Technical Characteristics<br>Technological<br>Characteristics: | The substantial equivalence of the ACCLARENT® ENT Navigation<br>System to the predicates is shown by similarity in intended use,<br>indications for use, and performance.<br><br>Like the predicate CARTO® ENT System, the ACCLARENT® ENT<br>Navigation System is an image-guided navigation system intended for<br>use during paranasal surgical procedures. ENT physicians can track<br>and display the real-time location of the tip of navigated instruments<br>relative to pre-acquired CT images.<br><br>Like the predicate, the ACCLARENT® ENT Navigation System<br>utilizes electromagnetic tracking technology for navigation, uses<br>anatomical reference points on the patient's anatomy for intraoperative<br>registration to the image-based model of the anatomy, and uses CT<br>image sets as reference images for the image-based model. The<br>instructions for use and product labels have been updated to reflect the<br>revised device. |
| Non-clinical Performance<br>Data: | The ACCLARENT® ENT Navigation System was tested to ensure that<br>it functions in accordance with the system design specifications related<br>to substantial equivalence in terms of device safety and effectiveness.<br><br>The following nonclinical tests were performed:<br><br>1. Proof of Design electrical tests, to verify all hardware modules<br>perform within specifications.<br><br>2. Location Accuracy tests, where the ACCLARENT® ENT<br>Navigation System electromagnetic locations were compared to the<br>locations provided by a, very accurate robot system over the entire<br>navigation volume, to verify the system precision claim.<br><br>3. Software functional tests, covering the complete system<br>functionality, and including error handling, usability and time |
| 4. | Safety, EMC, and mechanical tests were performed by a nationally 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 ACCLARENT® ENT Navigation 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 proposed ACCLARENT® ENT Navigation System passed all tests in accordance with appropriate test criteria and standards, and the modified device did not raise new questions of safety or effectiveness. |
| Clinical Performance Data: | Clinical data was not necessary to determine that the ACCLARENT® ENT Navigation System was substantially equivalent to the predicate device. The performance data demonstrated that the device performs as intended. |
| Conclusion: | The modified ACCLARENT® ENT Navigation System is substantially equivalent to the currently cleared CARTO® ENT Navigation System based on the completion of non-clinical bench testing as well as similar principles of design, operation and indications for use. |
