The Universal tracker EM provides a way to track the location of compatible conventional surgical instruments. It is mounted on the conventional instrument with a suitable instrument clamp and calibrated to navigate the tip of instrument. The Universal tracker EM connects to the Hybrid Navigation Unit EM via an integrated cable. The Universal tracker EM is provided non-sterile and is intended to be sterilized by the user. The Universal tracker 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).
