FDA has cleared a 7D Surgical 510(k) for the Cranial Module for use on its Machine-vision Image Guided Surgery (MvIGS) system for cranial surgery. The device uses the company’s new camera-based technology and machine vision algorithms to eliminate “long-standing frustrations with legacy surgical navigational platforms,” 7D Surgical says. “Using a completely contactless workflow, the MvIGS technology can acquire hundreds of thousands of virtual fiducials using the patient’s own anatomy. This results in a nearly instantaneous cranial registration in almost any surgical position.” The module can also register multiple datasets independently to the intra-operatively acquired Flashä registration, it adds.
