– Meeting all requirements (approval, qualifications, etc.) for the
medical system created through coupling via the navigation inter-
face.
– Provision of all accompanying documents required.
– Ensuring that the navigation system is only connected by person-
nel who have undergone appropriate training and instruction.
– Contacting the local Carl Zeiss representative for any inquiries that
may arise.
– Implementation of a procedure that guarantees the calibration of
the surgical microscope which is absolutely vital for the use of the
Carl Zeiss components "Surgical microscope on suspension sys-
tem" in combination with a connected navigation system.
This allows the calibrated surgical microscope combined with the
navigation system to be used like an optical pointer with a variable
length (corresponds to the working distance).
– Conducting complete functional testing, alignment and calibration
(landmark test) of the navigation system after every subsequent in-
stallation or exchange of navigation system components
– Incorporation of a regularly changing icon in the data injection dis-
play of surgical microscopes equipped with a data injection sys-
tem, i.e. the "heartbeat" of the navigation system must be
constantly visible for the user to permit data transmission errors to
be immediately detected.
• To check the accuracy of the overall system, perform the test specified
by the navigation system manufacturer, e.g. the landmark test, also
using the surgical microscope. This allows you to ensure that the ster-
eotactic data has been correctly generated and transmitted to the nav-
igation system without errors.
• Do not use any rotatable tube dovetail mounts when operating the sur-
gical microscope with a connected navigation system. If mounts of this
type have been attached to the microscope, they must be carefully
locked in their central positions (tighten the knurled screws for rota-
tion).
Requirements on the antenna design (non-Zeiss antennas)
• The antenna manufacturer must confirm that his antenna has been
tested and certified for operation with the respective Carl Zeiss surgi-
cal microscope on a suspension system in accordance with the re-
quirements specified in the Carl Zeiss interface description
"Navigation Interface for Carl Zeiss Surgical Microscopes".
• The following requirements, in particular, apply to the antenna:
