The MAGELLAN™ system, which is comprised of a medical workstation, a magnetic location system and a range of locatable tools is intended to be used as an image guided neurosurgery navigation system to pre-operatively and intra-operatively perform the following functions: - process and display pre-operatively radiographic images on a monitor; - provide intra-operative image control based on the position and orientation of a user directed tool; - allow for the integration and usage of the Biosense magnetic location system and a range of different tool attachments; and - store/retrieve image data on computer access media (e.g. hard disks, archive media)
Device Story
Magellan system is a magnetic location and navigation platform for neurosurgery; subset of Biosense CARTO system. Inputs: pre-operative radiographic images and real-time magnetic location data from user-directed locatable tools. System processes and displays images on a monitor; provides intra-operative image control by tracking tool position/orientation relative to patient anatomy. Used in clinical settings by neurosurgeons for surgical planning and navigation, particularly in regions with complex anatomy, distorted landmarks, or proximity to critical structures. Benefits include improved surgical precision and navigation in subcortical or landmark-poor regions. Output: visual navigation guidance on workstation monitor; stored image data for surgical reference.
Clinical Evidence
No clinical data provided. Substantial equivalence supported by non-clinical bench and animal testing.
Technological Characteristics
Magnetic location system; workstation-based; includes locatable tools. Complies with IEC 601-1, IEC 601-1 A1/A2, IEC 601-2-27, and EN 60601-1-2 standards. Connectivity via workstation for image processing and storage.
Indications for Use
Indicated for patients with imaged space-occupying lesions or malfunctions (soft tissue or osseous) in the head requiring image-guided neurosurgical navigation for planning and intra-operative guidance.
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.

The Magellan system is a subset of the CARTO system.
The CARTO system consists of the location system and the viewing station for the EP application combined together in one product. The Magellan system is the same location system used in CARTO, to be sold separately for use with a range of different 510(k) approved locatable accessory devices and viewing stations for applications.
The intended use of both systems is the same: intrabody location for mapping and navigation. The specific application of the system in the case of CARTO is cardiac mapping, where the Magellan system may be used for cardiac applications as well as for other intrabody mapping and navigation applications.
The Magellan system complies with the European EMC directive; 89/336/EEC as amended by 92/31/EEC and 93/68/EEC and the CE mark may be affixed to the product.

The Magellan system complies with the following standards:
IEC 601-1/1988
IEC 601-1 A1/1991
IEC 601-1 A2/1995
IEC 601-2-27/1994
EN 60601-1-2/1993
The non-clinical bench and animal testing show that the device is as safe and as effective as the previously marketed device to which it is being compared and does not raise any new questions of safety or effectiveness.

Dear Ms. Zachman:
We have reviewed your Section 510(k) notification of intent to market the device referenced above and we have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to legally marketed predicate devices marketed in interstate commerce prior to May 28, 1976, the enactment date of the Medical Device Amendments, or to devices that have been reclassified in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (Act). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. The general controls provisions of the Act include requirements for annual registration, listing of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration.
If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (Premarket Approval), it may be subject to such additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 895. A substantially equivalent determination assumes compliance with the Current Good Manufacturing Practice requirements, as set forth in the Quality System Regulation (QS) for Medical Devices: General regulation (21 CFR Part 820) and that, through periodic QS inspections, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) will verify such assumptions. Failure to comply with the GMP regulation may result in regulatory action. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register. Please note: this response to your premarket notification submission does not affect any obligation you might have under sections 531 through 542 of the Act for devices under the Electronic Product Radiation Control provisions, or other Federal laws or regulations.

# F aclosure B - Indications for Use Statement
Device Name: MAGELLAN System
510(k) Number: K961903
## Indications for Use:
The MAGELLAN™ system, which is comprised of a medical workstation, a magnetic location system and a range of locatable tools is intended to be used as an image guided neurosurgery navigation system to pre-operatively and intra-operatively perform the following functions:
- process and display pre-operatively radiographic images on a monitor;
- provide intra-operative image control based on the position and orientation of a user directed tool;
- allow for the integration and usage of the Biosense magnetic location system and a range of different tool attachments; and
- store/retrieve image data on computer access media (e.g. hard disks, archive media)
## Circumstances:
The MAGELLAN™ system is intended to be used during planning of a procedure, when more than one approach (e.g. entry point, trajectory, craniotomy size) is being considered, and also during surgery when:
- the target or approach is in a region with few anatomical landmarks (e.g. subcortical brain) or with complex anatomy;
- the target or approach is in a region where normal landmarks have been distorted either by disease or by previous surgery;
- the target or approach is in close proximity to critical structures (e.g. venous sinuses, air sinuses, blood vessels, nerves) which must be avoided or negotiated; or
- the target delineation is important and will not move significantly during the implementation of the approach (e.g. skull-based tumors, sinus diseases, corpus callosotomies).
## Disease or Conditions:
The MAGELLAN™ system is indicated for patients who have imaged space-occupying lesions or malfunctions (both soft tissue and osseous) in the head.
