Intended Use

The StealthStation™ System is intended as an aid for precisely locating anatomical locations in either open or percutaneous procedures. The StealthStation™ System is indicated for any medical condition in which the use of stereotactic surgery may be appropriate, and where a reference to a rigid anatomical structure, such as the skull, a long bone, or vertebra, can be identified relative to a CT or MR based model of the anatomy. The StealthStation™ System with the ENT option is also indicated for intranasal or sinus use.

Device Story

StealthStation™ System is an image-guided surgical navigation platform. It uses CT or MR image data to create anatomical models, allowing surgeons to track instruments relative to rigid structures (skull, long bone, vertebra) during open or percutaneous procedures. The system provides real-time visualization of instrument position, aiding in precise anatomical localization. Used in OR settings by surgeons; output assists in surgical navigation and decision-making. This specific submission covers an update to instrument sterilization protocols, adding an additional steam autoclave cycle.

Clinical Evidence

Bench testing only; validation data provided to support the change in sterilization parameters.

Technological Characteristics

Surgical navigation system utilizing CT/MR image data for anatomical registration. System supports steam autoclave sterilization for instruments. No changes to core navigation technology or software architecture.

Indications for Use

Indicated for patients requiring stereotactic surgery where rigid anatomical structures (skull, long bone, vertebra) can be referenced to CT/MR models; includes ENT/intranasal/sinus applications.

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 Mr. White:

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 (QS) for Medical Devices: General regulation (21 CFR Part 820) and that, through periodic (OS) 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.
