Indications for Use
TruDi™ NAV Suction Instruments are intended for use with the TruDi™ Navigation System during surgical procedures in ENT medicine and skull base surgery to provide navigation of the instruments to the targeted anatomy, and evacuation of gases, liquids, and fragments. TruDi™ NAV Suction Instruments are intended to be used by ENT surgeons or support staff.
Device Story
TruDi™ NAV Suction Instruments are reusable, electromagnetically-navigated surgical tools used in ENT and skull base surgery. The device set includes 0°, 70°, and 90° suction instruments and a single-use sterile TruDi™ NAV Cable. The instruments feature an integrated EM sensor at the distal tip. During surgery, the TruDi™ Navigation System tracks the sensor's position and orientation, displaying it in real-time over the patient's pre-operative CT scan. This allows the surgeon to confirm access to target anatomy before performing suctioning. The device is operated by ENT surgeons or support staff in a clinical setting. By providing real-time visualization of the instrument tip relative to patient anatomy, the device assists in precise navigation, potentially improving surgical accuracy and patient outcomes during complex ENT procedures.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. No clinical data was necessary. Performance testing included dimensional specifications, suction flow, deflection, location accuracy (≤ 2mm RMS), electrical functionality, and EEPROM verification. Biocompatibility was confirmed per ISO 10993-1. Sterilization (steam/STERRAD) validated per AAMI/ANSI/ISO 11135:2014 (SAL 10⁻⁶). Simulated use testing with ENT surgeons confirmed mechanical and clinical accuracy.
Technological Characteristics
Reusable stainless steel 316L suction instruments (0°, 70°, 90°). Electromagnetic navigation via integrated distal-tip sensor. Connectivity via single-use sterile TruDi™ NAV Cable (polycarbonate/PVC/copper). Accuracy ≤ 2mm RMS. Reprocessing via manual/automated cleaning and steam/STERRAD sterilization. Biocompatibility per ISO 10993-1. Shelf life validated per ASTM F1980-07, F88/F88M-09, F2096-04.
Indications for Use
Indicated for ENT surgeons or support staff performing ENT medicine and skull base surgery procedures requiring navigation to targeted anatomy and suction of gases, liquids, and fragments.

Dear Leena Sorathia:
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. 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.
{1}------------------------------------------------
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 requirements, including, but not limited to: registration and listing (21 CFR Part 807); labeling (21 CFR Part 801); medical device reporting (reporting of medical devicerelated adverse events) (21 CFR 803); good manufacturing practice requirements as set forth in the quality systems (OS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820); and if applicable, the electronic product radiation control provisions (Sections 531-542 of the Act); 21 CFR 1000-1050.
