Indications for Use
The Leksell® Image Guidance Surgical System (LIGS) is intended for use in neurosurgical procedures to provide image guidance based on preoperative images which are visualized interactively with the aid of surgical tools.
Device Story
LIGS is a modular neurosurgical navigation system providing image-guided visualization during surgery. Inputs include preoperative CT and MR images. The system uses an infrared-based Measurement System with LED-equipped locators on patients and surgical tools to track spatial position and orientation in real-time. The system correlates patient anatomy with pre-planned surgical paths displayed on a workstation. Configurations include SurgiScope (motorized ceiling-mounted tool support), ViewScope (floorstand microscope), and FreeHand (manual tool tracking). Operated by surgeons in the OR, the system provides visual feedback of instrument location relative to patient anatomy, assisting in surgical planning and intra-operative guidance. Benefits include enhanced spatial awareness and precision during neurosurgical interventions.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. Validation and verification studies were conducted to evaluate performance characteristics, demonstrating the system is capable of safely and accurately performing the stated intended use.
Technological Characteristics
Modular system comprising ScopePlan imaging workstation (HP C110, Unix-based), infrared measurement system (LED-based tracking), and various tool support configurations (motorized ceiling mount or manual floorstand). Connectivity includes workstation-based image retrieval and display. Software provides menu-driven GUI for image manipulation, registration, and real-time tracking of instrument position/orientation.
Indications for Use
Indicated for cranial and spinal neurosurgical procedures requiring image guidance based on preoperative images.
Regulatory Classification

#### SECTION 21.4 DEVICE DESCRIPTION
The Leksell® Image Guidance Surgical System (hereafter the LIGS System) which is the subject of this 510(k) Premarket Notification is a device System intended for use in neurosurgical procedures to provide image guidance based upon preoperative images which are visualized interactively with the aid of surgical tools. The LIGS System imports Computer Tomography (CT) and Magnetic Resonance (MR) images and provides a visual display of the images for pre-planning surgical paths. The images and pre-planned surgical paths can be viewed at a computer workstation in the operating room. The LIGS System is integrated with a Measurement System, which allows the patient in the operating room environment to be correlated with the diagnostic images
{2}------------------------------------------------
obtained pre-operatively. The LIGS System may then be used for visual or instrumentation guidance during the surgical procedure.
The LIGS System is a modular System comprised of a set of components which may be used in conjunction with three basic Models of system configuration interfaced with a Measurement (position tracking) System:
- 1. The SurgiScope® Model is configured around a motorized ceiling mounted Integrated Tool Support System with integrated tool support software.
- 2. The ViewScope® Model is configured for use with a manual Floorstand Microscope System.
- 3. The FreeHand Model allows for the tracking of surgical tools without the use of a microscope.
The LIGS System consists of 6 major components that may be combined in different permutations in the SurgiScope®, ViewScope®, and proposed FreeHand Models. The six primary components of the LIGS System may be combined in various configurations, depending upon the features desired by the customer. Table 21.2 summarizes the configuration options of the three models of the LIGS System.

# Model Configurations of LIGS System
Sections 20.4.1-20.4.6 provide an overview of each component of the LIGS System.
# SECTION 21.4.1 SCOPEPLAN® IMAGING SYSTEM WITH COMPUTER WORKSTATION ·
Referring to Table 21.2, the Leksell® ScopePlan® Imaging System is a software based technology which provides surgical planning based upon Computer Tomography (CT), Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI), or other currently used 2D and 3D imaging techniques. ScopePlan® also provides for the retrieval of surgical planning studies and imaging during the surgical procedure, image correlation with a defined point (such as the microscope focus, probe tip, or instrument position and orientation), and image retrieval subsequent to the surgical procedure. ScopePlan® is to be used with specified commercially available surgical microscopes and accessories.
{4}------------------------------------------------
ScopePlan® is supplied with a Hewlett-Packard C110 (or equivalent) computer running a Unix operating system. The Workstation includes a hard disk, a graphics board, and a high-resolution color monitor. A second computer Workstation may be installed in a separate location for pre-surgical review of patient images, and planning of the surgical intervention.
## SECTION 21.4.2 INTRA-OPERATIVE SOFTWARE
All Models of LIGS allow the surgeon to proceed through the surgical intervention by analyzing images derived from the ScopePlan®, planning the surgical intervention, and then monitoring the intervention at a computer workstation in the Operating Room. The Intra-Operative Software allows the surgeon to display, manipulate, and process images from the ScopePlan®, and interact with the data electronically to derive corroborative information related to the specific anatomy of the patient. The software display is a menu-driven Graphical User Interface, which allows the surgeon to recall to the screen images and surgical trajectories created with ScopePlan®. Image tracking features of the software allow the surgeon to conduct measurement/calibration check of the FreeHand instruments, conduct registration of the patient anatomy to the ScopePlan® image datasets, and display the position and orientation of the FreeHand Instrument on the ScopePlan® images during the conduct of the surgical intervention.
## SECTION 21.4.3 MEASUREMENT SYSTEM
The Measurement System is an infrared detection system, which is comprised of locators attached to the patient and tools, infrared detectors, a registration probe, and a processing unit. The locators and the probe contain infrared Light Emitting Diodes (LED's). The system accurately locates and continually tracks the patient, and simultaneously tracks the location of the tool of interest (microscope or FreeHand tool).
{5}------------------------------------------------
## SECTION 21.4.4 INTEGRATED TOOL SUPPORT SYSTEM
The Integrated Tool Support System (ITS) is a motorized, manually operated, computermonitored system that is mounted on the ceiling of the operating room. The ITS supports surgical tools, primarily a surgical microscope, during surgical procedure. The surgeon, or other medical professional, activates electromechanical components to position and adjust the microscope during surgery. The location of the microscope focus may be tracked and displayed on the ScopePlan® images. The ITS is the heart of the SurgiScope® Model of LIGS, and is only available with the SurgiScope® Model.
# SECTION 21.4.5 FLOORSTAND MICROSCOPE SYSTEM
The Floorstand Microscope System is a manual floorstand with mounted microscope. The location of the microscope focus may be tracked and displayed on the ScopePlan® images. The ViewScope® Model of the LIGS System is provided with the floorstand microscope.
## SECTION 21.4.6 FREEHAND TOOL TRACKING SYSTEM
The FreeHand Tool Tracking System consists of commercially available hand-held instruments, guides, and probes for cranial and spinal applications which are tracked by the Measurement System via locating devices (LED's) embedded in either the instrument handle, or a specially designed "tracker" attached to the instrument. This allows for the use of the existing Measurement System to localize the tip position and spatial orientation of the hand-held instruments. An interface with the ScopePlan® provides for visual feedback to the surgeon by displaying the instrument location as an image on the ScopePlan.
The FreeHand Tool Tracking System is designed as a component of the LIGS System for use with either the ViewScope® Mode or the SurgiScope® Model. Additionally, customers may desire the FreeHand surgical options without the use of a microscope. In
