The Galaxy System is designed with the intent to enable articulation and precise control of a flexible, single-use disposable bronchoscope under continuous and direct control by a physician operator. The Galaxy System™ includes full procedure navigation that integrates a pre-operative computed tomography scan to display scope tip location relative to the pre-operative scan anatomy. Additionally, Galaxy integrates a tomosynthesis spin to update the scope and target position to overcome any changes in anatomy not reflected in the pre-op CT scan.
An endoscope with a flexible inserted portion intended for endoscopic procedures of the airways and tracheobronchial tree (i.e., bronchoscopy). It typically consists of a handle portion and an insertion tube which includes working channels and a distal camera from which anatomical images are transmitted and displayed on a monitor (video bronchoscopy). It is typically intended for flexible optical intubation, airway inspection, and may be used to assist in other diagnostic or therapeutic procedures [e.g., bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL)]. This is a reusable device.
