## 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

Leksell Image Guidance Surgical System (LIGS) provides intraoperative image guidance for neurosurgery. System imports CT/MRI images for preplanning surgical paths. Components include ScopePlan software for 2D/3D image visualization and correlation; infrared measurement system with patient/tool locators, LED-equipped probes, and infrared detectors for real-time tracking; and tool support systems (manual floor stand or motorized SurgiScope). SurgiScope is a ceiling-mounted, computer-monitored module holding surgical microscopes. Surgeon controls microscope positioning via push-button activation on handle. System tracks patient and tool position relative to preplanned paths. Output is visual display of surgical field and tool orientation. Used in operating room by surgeons to assist in navigation and tool positioning, potentially improving surgical accuracy and patient outcomes.

## 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; infrared-based tracking (LED emitters/detectors); CT/MRI image integration; motorized electromechanical tool support (SurgiScope); ceiling-mounted or floor-stand configurations. Software-based image correlation and surgical path planning.

## 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.

## 20.4. DEVICE DESCRIPTION

The Leksell Image Guidance Surgical System (LIGS) device provides image guidance in surgical procedures. The LIGS System imports CT/MRI images and provides a visual display of the images for preplanning surgical paths which are used for guidance during the surgical procedures.

The LIGS System is a modular system which includes an interface with a measurement system used with a manual microscope (ViewScope) or with a motorized microscope tool support system (SurgiScope).

The main components of the LIGS System are:

- ScopePlan

ScopePlan provides surgical preplanning based on Computer Tomography (CT), Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) or other current

ORIGINAL 510(k) SUBMISSION
LEKSELL IMAGE GUIDANCE SURGICAL SYSTEM

2D and 3D modalities, retrieval of preplanning studies and imaging during the surgical procedure, image correlation with a defined point and image retrieval subsequent to the surgical procedure.

The ScopePlan is to be used with specified commercially available surgical microscopes and accessories.

- Measurement System

The measurement system is an infra-red detection system which is comprised of locators attached to the patient and tool, infra red detectors, a probe and a processing unit. The locators and the probe contain infra red emitting LED’s. The system accurately locates and continually tracks the patient and the tool (typically a microscope).

- Tool Support System

There are two types of tool support systems which are used with the LIGS System:

- Standard Floor Stand Microscope Support

- SurgiScope Integrated Tool Support System

The SurgiScope Integrated Tool Support System is a motorized manually operated, computer-monitored device module which is mounted on the ceiling of the operating room. The device holds in place surgical tools, typically a surgical microscope, during operative procedures. The Surgeon, or other medical expert, activates

electromechanical components to position and adjust the microscope during an operation. The user has complete control of the microscope tool during all phases of the procedure and must initiate activation and continuously activate by depressing a push button on the microscope handle in order for the system to operate.

## 20.5 INTENDED 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.

## 20.6 TECHNOLOGICAL CHARACTERISTICS

The fundamental technical characteristics are similar to those of the predicate devices and are listed on the comparison chart provided in this 510(k) submission. Differences that exist between these systems relate to physical appearance and materials which do not affect the relative safety or effectiveness of the device.
