• Use only Stryker approved components and
accessories, unless otherwise specifi ed. Other
accessories may result in increased electroma-
gnetic emissions or decreased electromagnetic
immunity of the system. DO NOT modify any
component or accessory. Failure to comply may
result in patient and/or health care staff injury.
• Ensure the line of sight between the tracker and
the camera is NOT blocked. The infrared Light
Emitting Diodes (LEDs) and photodiodes must be
in view of the camera for the Navigation System
to function properly.
• Excessive infrared radiation from external sour-
ces can infl uence localization of the instruments
by the Navigation System.
Refer to the Navigati-
on System II-Camera Instructions For Use.
• Mount and detach the tracker as instructed in this
manual.
• Attach the nGenius Universal Tracker only to
devices with a generic interface pin
(see fi gure
3)
. Refer also to the NavLock Instructions for Use
REF 6000-999-700.
• In case of the slightest suspicion of incompati-
bility or risks, do not use the nGenius Universal
Tracker.
• Ensure the generic interface pin is fully inserted
into the tracker´s notch and snaps into position.
• Take special precautions regarding electro-
magnetic compatibility (EMC) when using this
medical electronic equipment. Install and put the
equipment into service according to the EMC in-
formation in the EMC Specifi cations Manual REF
6000-005-760. This medical equipment meets all
requirements in the EN/IEC 60601-1-2 standard

• Prior to proceeding, verify that the nGenius Uni-
versal Tracker is fi rmly attached to the instrument
with no movement after attachment, as instructed
in this manual. If the tracker moves relative to
the instrument, navigation is inaccurate.Fixate
the tracker again, recalibrate and re-validate the
instrument.
• To prevent incorrect treatment, regularly perform
landmark tests.

instruments which have less then 250 mm tip
offset.
