Intended Use
The ExcelsiusGPS is intended for use as an aid for precisely locating anatomical structures and for spatial positioning and orientation of an instrument holder or guide to be used by surgeons for navigating and/or guiding compatible surgical instruments in open or percutaneous provided that the required fiducial markers and rigid patient anatomy can be identified on CT scans or fluoroscopy. The system is indicated for the placement of spinal and orthopedic bone screws and interbody spacers, and intracranial devices including biopsy needles, electrodes, and tubes.
Device Story
ExcelsiusGPS Cranial 1.0 Module is a computer-assisted surgical navigation system. Inputs include preoperative/intraoperative CT, MRI, or fluoroscopy images. System performs registration between virtual patient images and physical patient anatomy using a dynamic reference base and optical tracking camera. Surgeon plans trajectories on images; system tracks compatible instruments in real-time, displaying position on images. Used in OR by surgeons for stereotactic procedures. Output is visual guidance for instrument placement. Benefits include precise navigation to cranial targets, aiding in biopsy, electrode, and tube placement. System manages data, user, and safety functions.
Clinical Evidence
No clinical trials on human patients. Evidence includes non-clinical system, software, and instrument verification/validation; surgical simulations on phantom cranial sawbone models; and human cadaveric quantitative validation. Cadaveric study demonstrated system accuracy in navigating cranial devices to targets. Navigational accuracy results: mean position <1.5mm (99% CI ≤2mm) and mean angle <2.0° (99% CI ≤2°). Biocompatibility per ISO 10993-1 and electrical safety per IEC 60601-1 confirmed.
Technological Characteristics
Optical tracking system; uses preoperative/intraoperative CT, MRI, and fluoroscopy. Components include dynamic reference base, positioning camera, and navigated instruments with unique array patterns/reflective markers. Software-based navigation; connectivity for data/network management. Biocompatible materials per ISO 10993-1. Electrical safety per IEC 60601-1. System supports adult and pediatric stereotactic procedures.
Indications for Use
Indicated for adult and pediatric patients requiring stereotactic neurosurgery for the placement of intracranial devices including biopsy needles, electrodes, and tubes, as well as spinal and orthopedic bone screws and interbody spacers.
Regulatory Classification
Identification

# Purpose:
The purpose of this submission is to request clearance of the ExcelsiusGPS® Cranial 1.0 Module software and navigated instruments for access, preparation, and placement of cranial devices.
# Device Description:
The ExcelsiusGPS® Cranial Module includes hardware and software that enables real time surgical navigation using radiological patient images (MRI, CT, and fluoroscopy), using a dynamic reference base and positioning camera. The navigation system determines the registration or mapping between the virtual patient (points on the patient images) and the physical patient (corresponding points on the patient's anatomy). Once this registration is created, the software displays the relative position of a tracked instrument on the patient images. As an aid to visualization, the surgeon can plan trajectories for instrument placement on the patient images prior to surgery. Registration provides the necessary information to provide visual assistance to the surgeon during freehand navigation. During surgery, the system tracks the position of GPS compatible instruments in or on the patient anatomy and continuously updates the instrument position on patient images utilizing optical tracking. System software is responsible for all
{4}------------------------------------------------
navigation functions, data storage, network connectivity, user management, case management, and safety functions. ExcelsiusGPS® surgical instruments include non-sterile, re-usable instruments and sterile instruments that are operated manually or with the use of the positioning system.
The ExcelsiusGPS® Cranial Module is designed to assist with stereotactic procedures that include quidance to cranial targets for instrument navigation and device placement. Instruments consist of end effector instruments, registration instruments, navigated instruments, patient positioning instruments, and surgical instruments. End effector instruments include instruments to the Interchangeable Guide End Effector. Registration and navigated instruments incorporate unique array patterns with reflective markers, and are used to track patient anatomy and surgical instruments. Patient positioning instruments aid in patient fixation. Surgical instruments are used to access and prepare the local site and place devices, such as needles, electrodes, and tubes. The ExcelsiusGPS® Cranial Module is suitable for use in adult and pediatric patient populations in which the use of stereotactic neurosurgery may be appropriate.
### Indications for Use:
The ExcelsiusGPS® is intended for use as an aid for precisely locating anatomical structures and for spatial positioning and orientation of an instrument holder or quide tube to be used by surgeons for navigating and/or quiding compatible surqical instruments in open or percutaneous procedures provided that the required fiducial markers and rigid patient anatomy can be identified on CT scans or fluoroscopy. The system is indicated for the placement of spinal and orthopedic bone screws and interbody spacers, and intracranial devices including biopsv needles, electrodes, and tubes.
