The system is easy to install and can be quickly configured

Can be used with all DICOM 3.0 compliant CT scanners

No changes required on the CT scanner or its components

Intended Application

FNA (Fine needle Aspiration), Biopsy & RFA.
For lesions greater than 10 mm

System components

Positioning arm with Five (5) axes movement with a sterile needle holder

PC with Application software to control the Positioning arm

Footpedal for precise docking of the system

Docking plate

Intended Application

Five Axes Movement with sub millimeter and 0.1 degree accuracy.
Three linear axes - X,Y,Z Planes
Two Angular axes, cranio-caudal and orbital (L –R)

Application Software For

- Initialize, select slice (s) to plan, display DICOM data- slice thickness, cradle pposition.
- select the target lesion and entry point in the skin.
- Display the cranio-caudal and orbital angles.
- Display whether the target can be reached when the needle length is known*
- Compare plan versus actual needle travel, during and on completion of procedure.

Allows procedures to be performed at different table heights, difficult lesions that require angulation and precision.
Anti-collision sensors for patient safety.
Displays arm coordinates visually on the CT image.
Two point metallic docking plate to precisely lock the system - ensuring stability at all times
Sterile needle holder allows use of commonly available needles for doing procedures.
Needle holder is simple to operate and allows release of needle in case of a check scan operation.
Needle holder is compatible with 13 Gauge to 23 Gauge needles.
Emergency stop for aborting procedure.
