The FDA and Health Canada both cleared 7D Surgical's image guidance system for spine surgery. 7D Surgical is based in Toronto, Ontario, Canada.
Here are five things to know:
1. The FDA and Health Canada medical device license clearances allow 7D Surgical to commercially launch its 7D Surgical System in North America.
2. The 7D Surgical System leverages 3-D optical technologies and machine vision algorithms.
3. The system automatically registers spine surgery patients using visible light with Flash Registration of the patients' anatomies.
4. 7D Surgical System also provides a workflow time of less than 20 seconds for de novo spinal registration.
5. The system's Machine-vision Image Guided Surgery technology is embedded within an overhead surgical light. Surgeons control the software with a foot pedal.
