### Device Description

The ThoraTrak™ minimally invasive cardiac surgery (MICS) retractor system is designed for use with a minimally invasive thoracotomy, an incision in the chest wall into the pleural space, for procedures that include Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting (CABG) and Left Internal Mammary Artery (LIMA) harvesting. It consists of a retractor rack, 2 sets of LIMA blades, 4 sets of thoracotomy blades, and 2 extended mount blades. The retractor rack and blades are chromecoated stainless steel. They are non-sterile, nonpyrogenic, and reusable.

#### Indications for Use

The ThoraTrakTM minimally invasive cardiac surgery (MICS) retractor system is intended to provide surgical access for minimally invasive cardiothoracic procedures, including minimally invasive coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) surgery and LIMA harvest, by retraction of soft and bony tissue.

### Comparison to Predicate Devices

A comparison of the modified product to the currently marketed predicate products indicates the following similarities:

- o Same intended use and target market
- � Same technological characteristics
- � Same operating principle
- . Same design features
- . Same base materials
- . Same shelf life

#### Conclusion

Medtronic has demonstrated that the indications for use modification made to the ThoraTrak™ minimally invasive cardiac surgery (MICS) retractor system described in this submission results in a substantially equivalent device because the fundamental scientific principle, operating principle, design features, and overall intended use are unchanged from the predicate device.
