The FDA 510(k)-cleared and Health Canada approved MvIGS system is for use in surgical workflows during spine and cranial surgeries.
Featuring camera-based technology and machine vision algorithms, MvIGS system addresses issues associated with legacy surgical navigational platforms.
Visible light is used by the MvIGS system, helping to avoid patient and staff exposure to intraoperative radiation seen in older technologies.
7D Surgical sales and marketing vice-president Brian Stuart said: “We have completed more than 1,500 clinical cases with the 7D Surgical System and the feedback from our surgeon users has been tremendous.
“I am excited to offer these new technologies to our customer base which expand the functionality of the MvIGS system while maintaining our clear advantages in speed and reduced radiation exposure to operating room staff and patients.”
In January 2017, 7D Surgical had received the FDA 510(k) clearance and Health Canada medical device license (MDL) for use of its Machine-Vision Image-Guided Surgery (MIGS) system in spine surgery.
