• Submission Type: Traditional
• Regulation: 21 CFR 882.4560
• Device Class: Class 2

Intended Use

The SNN Scout, comprised of a medical workstation and an integrated position-sensing instrument, is intended to be used pre-operatively and intra-operatively.

Device Story

SNN Scout is an image-guided surgical system consisting of a medical workstation and integrated position-sensing instruments. The system utilizes a passive sensor feature to track surgical instruments, eliminating cable connections between instruments and the workstation to improve ergonomics. Used pre-operatively and intra-operatively by surgeons to navigate and localize lesions or malformations in the head and spine. The system processes spatial data to provide real-time guidance during surgical procedures, assisting in surgical planning and execution. Benefits include enhanced maneuverability and reduced physical constraints for the surgeon during complex neurosurgical or spinal procedures.

Clinical Evidence

No clinical data provided; bench testing only.

Technological Characteristics

Image-guided surgical system comprising a medical workstation and passive position-sensing instruments. The system utilizes passive tracking technology to eliminate cable connections between tracked instruments and the workstation. Operates as an accessory to stereotaxic devices.

Indications for Use

Indicated for patients with space-occupying lesions or malformations (soft tissue and osseous) in the head, or patients requiring decompressive or reconstructive surgery of the spine, or having imaged space-occupying lesions or malformations of the spine. Contraindicated for patients suspected of having Creutzfeld-Jacob's disease if adequate sterilization cannot be assured.

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.

Dear Ms. Nakagawa:

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 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 requirement, as set forth in the Quality System Regulation (OS) 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.

## 10. Indications for Use

The passive instrument feature does not change the indications for use of the SNN Scout image-guided surgical device compared with the predicate ISG Family of Viewing Wands. The statement of indications for use continues to be as follows:

"The SNN Scout is indicated for patients who have space-occupying lesions or malformations (both soft tissue and osseous) in the head. It is also indicated for patients who require decompressive or reconstructive surgery of the spine, or who have imaged space-occupying lesions or malformations of the spine. The SNN Scout is contraindicated for patients suspected of having Creutzfeld-Jacob's disease if adequate sterilization of the instruments cannot be assured."
