## Indications for Use

BrainLAB VectorVision is intended to be an intraoperative image guided localization system. It links a freehand probe, tracked by a passive marker sensor system to virtual computer image space either on a patient's preoperative image data being processed by a Vector vision workstation on an individual 3D-model of the patient's bone, which is generated through acquiring multiple landmarks on the bone surface. The system is indicated for any medical condition in which the use of stereotactic surgery may be appropriate and where a reference to a rigid anatomical structure, such as the skull, a long bone, or vertebra, can be identified relative to a CT, X-ray, MR based model of the anatomy. The system aids the surgeon to accurately navigate a hip endoprothesis to the preoperatively or intraoperatively planned position. Example orthopedic surgical procedures include but are not limited to: Total Joint Replacement (TJR) Revision surgery of TJR Tumor resection and bone/joint reconstruction

## Device Story

VectorVision Hip is an intraoperative image-guided surgery system. It tracks surgical instruments (cup reamer, cup inserter, stem rasp, bone saw) using a passive marker sensor system. Inputs include preoperative patient image data (CT, X-ray, MR) or intraoperatively generated 3D bone models via landmark acquisition. The system reconstructs 3D mechanical axes and planes of the femur and pelvis, allowing surgeons to navigate implants to planned positions. Used in OR by surgeons for orthopedic procedures like TJR and tumor resection. Output is visual navigation data on a workstation, aiding accurate implant placement. Benefits include improved surgical precision and alignment.

## Clinical Evidence

No clinical data provided. Substantial equivalence is supported by bench testing and validation of product design according to manufacturer procedures.

## Technological Characteristics

Stereotaxic instrument system; passive marker tracking; workstation-based; 3D reconstruction of mechanical axes; software-based registration of patient anatomy; CT/X-ray/MR data integration.

## Regulatory Identification

A stereotaxic instrument is a device consisting of a rigid frame with a calibrated guide mechanism for precisely positioning probes or other devices within a patient's brain, spinal cord, or other part of the nervous system.
