System description
The OrthoPilot
®
Elite
Hardware System is a navigation system and supports
the physician in joint surgeries, such as for individual patient positioning
of implants in the area of endoprosthetics. Using a video optical camera
system, the position and location in space of passive transmitters reflect-
ing infrared light are detected intraoperatively.
Using Aesculap-specific application software installed on the OrthoPilot
®
computing and display unit, the location and position of the transmitters
relative to each other can then be calculated. Through adaptation of the
transmitters to the instruments and patient, the location and position of
the instruments in relation to the patient can also be displayed.
By using this software, the measured values are calculated together with
additional data (e.g. implant geometries), supporting the user in aligning
and positioning the implant. In addition, the individual implant compo-
nents can be matched to one another in order to achieve optimized results
with regard to important criteria of the implantation
The OrthoPilot
®
Elite
Hardware System is a system that does not use expen-
sive and radiation-intensive image data, such as from CT or MRI.
It is a closed system; that is, it may only be used with application-specific
software, instrumentation and implant systems approved by Aesculap.
The OrthoPilot
®
Elite
Hardware System consists of the following compo-
nents:
The duration of use of the system depends on the indication and is nomi-
nally about 60 minutes.
The system components of the OrthoPilot
®
Elite
Hardware System are non-
invasive, reusable products for use in non-sterile surgery areas.
Function/task of the OrthoPilot
®
4 panel PC in the system
The OrthoPilot
®
4 panel PC serves for the provision, execution, data pro-
cessing, data storage and display of the Aesculap-specific application
software and the data generated there as a foundation to enable com-
puter-supported, orthopedic surgery.
