User manual
Version: v4.5.2
For single-use
markers
, the end user manual must clearly
state that the
markers
should not be reprocessed. The
markers
packaging must be marked with a label indicating
they cannot be reprocessed.
For single-use
fiducials
, instructions about replacing new
fiducials
after every (single) use must be clearly specified by
the integrator in the end user manual. Packages of passive
fiducials
have to be marked with a label indicating that they
cannot be reprocessed.
A passive fiducial could be damaged due to a shock /
scratch of the reflecting material. Instructions about not us-
ing deteriorated
fiducials
and how to replace a deteriorated
passive
fiducial
must be clearly specified by the integrator in
the end user manual.
Integrator has to specify in the end user manual instructions
how to screw / plug
fiducials
on
markers
.
7.6.2 Active markers
The active
markers
consist of IR-LEDs mounted in a rigid structure. The LEDs can either emit continuously
or be synchronised with the fusionTrack cameras. In the latter case, the
marker
also contains an IR receiver.
An active
marker
is powered by a battery, or from the equipment to which it is attached. Those
markers
can either be wired or wireless.
The fusionTrack device IR communication sends a pattern which is recognised by the IR receiver of
the active
marker
. Once the IR pulse is detected by the
marker
, the
marker
emits IR radiations, which is
detected by the fusionTrack device.
Active
marker
electronics has to be completely sealed in or-
der to avoid liquid penetration due to cleaning. The inte-
grator has to indicate in the end user manual instructions to
clean active
markers
. The integrator has to specify in the
end user manual that the operability verification procedure
(see Chapter 12) must be done after each cleaning.
A geometrically deformed active
marker
due to a manufac-
turing defect could lead to wrong measurements causing
patient injury. The integrator has to perform individual test-
ing during
marker
calibration.
