Intended use / Indications for use

Intended use / Indications for use The StealthStation™ System, with StealthStation™ Cranial software, is intended as an aid for locating anatomical structures in either open or percutaneous neurosurgical procedures. Their use 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 the skull, can be identified relative to images of the anatomy. This can include, but is not limited to, the following cranial procedures (including stereotactic frame-based and stereotactic frame alternatives-based procedures): • Tumor resections • General ventricular catheter placement • Pediatric ventricular catheter placement • Depth electrode, lead, and probe placement • Cranial biopsies For accuracy performance information, please refer to the “Navigational Accuracy” section of this document.

Contraindications Medical conditions that contraindicate the use of a Medtronic computer-assisted surgery system and its associated applications include any conditions which may contraindicate the medical procedure itself.

Device description

Device description The StealthStation™ System, also known as an Image Guided System (IGS), is composed of a platform, clinical software, surgical instruments, and a referencing system (which includes patient and instrument trackers). The IGS tracks the position of instruments in relation to the surgical anatomy, known as localization, and then identifies this position on preoperative or intraoperative images of a patient. The StealthStation™ Cranial software helps guide surgeons during cranial procedures such as biopsies, tumor resections, and shunt placements. Patient images can be displayed by the Cranial software from a variety of perspectives (axial, sagittal, coronal, oblique) and 3-dimensional (3D) renderings of anatomical structures can also be displayed. During navigation, the system identifies the tip location and trajectory of the tracked instrument on images and models the user has selected to display. The surgeon may also create and store one or more surgical plan trajectories before surgery and simulate progression along these trajectories. During surgery, the software can display how the actual instrument tip position and trajectory relate to the pre-surgical plan, helping to guide the surgeon along the planned trajectory. While the surgeon's judgment remains the ultimate authority, real-time positional information obtained through the StealthStation™ System can serve to validate this judgment as well as guide.

Compatibility and installation The software may be used on a StealthStation™ planning station in an office environment or a StealthStation™ computer-assisted surgery system in an operating room or office environment. The software is compatible with StealthStation™ S8 systems and Medtronic navigational instruments. The software is installed by Medtronic service personnel only. If you have any questions about your software installation, contact Medtronic Navigation technical support. Note: When StealthStation™ software is used with other medical devices, refer to the user instructions for those devices for additional labeling limitations.

Navigational accuracy

Navigational accuracy Under representative worst-case configuration, the StealthStation™ System with StealthStation™ Cranial software has demonstrated performance in 3D positional accuracy with a mean error ≤2.0 mm and in trajectory angle accuracy with a mean error ≤2.0 degrees. The positional error is defined as the Euclidean distance from target to instrument tip at final point of insertion. The trajectory angle error is the angle between the planned surgical trajectory and trajectory of the neurosurgical instrument at final point of insertion. Depending on the surgical procedure and the particular neurosurgical instruments used, the resulting navigational accuracy may be negatively impacted. This performance was determined using an anatomically representative phantom and utilizing a subset of system components and features that represent the worstcase combination of all potential system components in a clinically relevant workflow. The test configuration included CT images with slice spacing and thickness of 1.25 mm and T2-weighted MR images with slice spacing and thickness of 1.0 mm.

User profile

User profile The intended user profile for the StealthStation™ System with StealthStation™ Cranial software is neurosurgeons, their support staff, and hospital biomedical engineering support staff.

Intended patient population The intended patient population for the software is patients for whom stereotactic image guided surgery is appropriate.

Side effects The Medtronic computer-assisted surgery system and its associated applications are auxiliary surgical tools and do not independently produce any side effects. When used in conjunction with navigated instruments for surgical procedures, the associated side effects are the same as those for the procedure itself.

Potential complications The potential complications for StealthStation™ S8 Navigation System Cranial Procedures identified by Medtronic include, but are not limited to: General surgical complications, pain, edema, biological reaction, hydrocephalus, insufficient treatment, infection, tissue or bone damage, burn, hearing loss, vision impairment, bleeding or blood loss, electric shock, cerebrospinal fluid leakage or fistula, brain or nervous system injury, permanent or transient neurological deficit, paralysis, ischemic stroke (cerebral infarction), seizure, death.

Clinical benefits The StealthStation™ System is composed of a platform, clinical software, surgical instruments, and a referencing system. The system tracks the position of instruments in relation to the surgical anatomy and then identifies this position on preoperative or intraoperative images of a patient. The StealthStation™ Cranial software helps guide surgeons during cranial procedures such as biopsies, tumor resections, shunt placements, laser cannula placements, DBS electrode placements, and SEEG depth electrode placements. Navigated procedures performed using the StealthStation™ system with StealthStation™ Cranial software potentially confer the following clinical benefits: • StealthStation™ Cranial Navigation provides consistent accuracy, which may contribute to achievement of surgical goals and low complication rates. • StealthStation™ Cranial Navigation enables procedures that provide high diagnostic yield for intracranial biopsies. • StealthStation™ Cranial Navigation enables pinless procedures using electromagnetic-based tracking, avoiding the need for rigid head fixation.

9

Clinical benefits

• StealthStation™ Cranial Navigation facilitates procedures in deep-seated and/or eloquent anatomic areas, providing information that may help surgeons preserve neurological function and design patient-specific surgical approaches. • StealthStation™ Cranial Navigation enables creation and display of 3D models, such as estimated white matter tracts, providing additional information for surgeons to use while targeting or avoiding areas of the brain. • StealthStation™ Cranial Navigation enables less invasive surgical approaches.
