The Registration Pointer EM-D is an electromagnetically tracked instrument with a rounded, blunt tip that is used to register the patient anatomy. The location of the instrument is referenced relative to a patient tracker affixed to the patient’s anatomy. The pointer connects to the Hybrid Navigation Unit EM via an integrated cable. The Precision Pointer EM-D is provided non-sterile and is intended intended for high-level disinfection only. It is intended to be used prior to surgical draping while the patient environment is not covered under sterile drape. The Registration Pointer EM-D 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).
