Intended Use

The Zeta Cranial Navigation System is a stereotaxic image guidance system intended for the spatial positioning and orientation of neurosurgical instruments used by surgeons in cranial surgery where reference to a rigid anatomical structure can be identified, without rigid fixation of the patient or instrument guide; intended for operating and interventional procedure rooms.

Technology

The system is a stereotaxic image-guided planning and intraoperative guidance system that assists neurosurgeons by displaying the position of tracked surgical instruments relative to 3D preoperative CT and MRI scans. It uses structured light and machine vision for optical tracking of unpowered wireless instruments, with image-based real-time display. The system includes components such as a cart, sensor head, positioning arms, touchscreen monitor, tracked instruments, and specialized software.

Performance

Performance testing included bench testing for accuracy under various conditions (simulated clinical procedures, illumination levels, patient motion, physical/environmental variations), design validation, and human factors/usability testing. Electrical safety, electromagnetic compatibility, software verification and validation, and cybersecurity documentation were also completed. No clinical testing was required.
