The Precision Pointer EM is an electromagnetically tracked instrument that is used to register the patient anatomy and to navigate within the anatomical space. The location of the instrument is referenced relative to a patient tracker that is attached to the patient. The pointer connects to the Hybrid Navigation Unit EM via an integrated cable. The Precision Pointer EM is provided non-sterile and is intended to be sterilized by the user. The Precision Pointer EM is reusable.
An assembly of devices intended for tracking spatial markers attached to a surgical instrument(s) and/or the patient, based on movement through a variable electromagnetic (EM) field. It is designed to generate visual diagrams of the relative position/orientation of the instrument/marker during surgery and may additionally allow surgical navigation through overlay of radiological images [e.g., ultrasound (US)]. It consists of a console with display and an EM field generator/receiver; spatial markers, instruments, a foot switch, or trolley may in addition be packaged with the system. It is intended for use during multiple types of surgical procedure (e.g., breast, gastrointestinal, lung).
