Indications for Use
The Curiteva Navigation System is intended to be used during the preparation and placement of Curiteva screws during spinal surgery to assist the surgeon in precisely locating anatomical structures in either open or minimally invasive procedures. The Curiteva Navigation System is specifically designed for use with the Medtronic StealthStation® System, which is indicated for any medical condition in which the use of stereotactic surgery may be appropriate, and where reference to a rigid anatomical structure, such as vertebra, can be identified relative to a CT or MR-based model, fluoroscopy images, or digitized landmarks of the anatomy.
Device Story
Curiteva Navigation System consists of reusable surgical instruments (awls, probes, taps, drills, drivers) used during spinal surgery; designed for integration with Medtronic StealthStation Navigation System (S7 v2.1.0/S8 v1.2.0). Instruments track anatomical structures relative to CT/MR models, fluoroscopy, or digitized landmarks; assist surgeon in precise placement of Curiteva screws. Used in OR by surgeons; provides visual guidance via Medtronic hardware/software interface. Benefits include improved precision in screw placement during spinal procedures.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. Performance evaluated per ASTM F2554-18 (Standard Practice for Measurement of Positional Accuracy of Computer Assisted Surgical Systems). Dimensional comparisons performed against predicate devices. Results confirm performance is sufficient for intended use.
Technological Characteristics
Reusable surgical instruments (awls, probes, taps, drills, drivers) manufactured from stainless steel (ASTM F899). Designed for use with Medtronic StealthStation Navigation System hardware/software. Principle of operation: stereotactic navigation for anatomical localization. Sterilization required.
Indications for Use
Indicated for patients undergoing spinal surgery requiring preparation and placement of Curiteva screws in open or minimally invasive procedures where stereotactic navigation is appropriate.
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 Eric Linder:
We have reviewed your Section 510(k) premarket notification of intent to market the device referenced above and 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) that do not require approval of a premarket approval application (PMA). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. Although this letter refers to your product as a device, please be aware that some cleared products may instead be combination products. The 510(k) Premarket Notification Database located at https://www.accessdata.fda.gov/scripts/cdrh/cfdocs/cfpmn/pmn.cfm identifies combination product submissions. 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. Please note: CDRH does not evaluate information related to contract liability warranties. We remind you, however, that device labeling must be truthful and not misleading.
If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 898. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register.
Please be advised that FDA's issuance of a substantial equivalence determination does not mean that FDA has made a determination that your device complies with other requirements of the Act or any Federal statutes and regulations administered by other Federal agencies. You must comply with all the Act's
{1}------------------------------------------------
requirements, including, but not limited to: registration and listing (21 CFR Part 807); labeling (21 CFR Part 801); medical device reporting of medical device-related adverse events) (21 CFR 803) for devices or postmarketing safety reporting (21 CFR 4, Subpart B) for combination products (see https://www.fda.gov/combination-products/guidance-regulatory-information/postmarketing-safety-reportingcombination-products); good manufacturing practice requirements as set forth in the quality systems (OS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820) for devices or current good manufacturing practices (21 CFR 4, Subpart A) for combination products; and, if applicable, the electronic product radiation control provisions (Sections 531-542 of the Act); 21 CFR 1000-1050.
Also, please note the regulation entitled, "Misbranding by reference to premarket notification" (21 CFR Part 807.97).
