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 to provide a physician with an electromagnetic (EM) tool for image registration and/or tracking of manual surgical instruments typically with respect to pre-acquired images (e.g., CT/MRI scan) or real-time data [e.g., ultrasound (US)] during surgery. It consists of a workstation with controls/display, a line-powered EM field generator, a tracking unit, instruments and trackers with sensors/localizers, and adhesive skin markers. It is used for multiple surgical procedures (e.g., ethmoidectomy, tumour resection, fibroid ablation, biopsy, drilling, vascular access) in various fields [e.g., ENT, craniomaxillofacial (CMF), laparoscopic, or orthopaedic surgery].
