Intended Use

This needle guide is designed for use in interventional labs and imaging environments, providing real-time feedback and guidance during procedures. It enhances the accuracy of needle placement, making it suitable for a range of applications such as biopsies, drainages, and RF ablations.

System Integration

The guide integrates seamlessly with the XperGuide System, a live 3D needle guidance technology. This system overlays live fluoroscopy with 3D soft tissue imaging from CT, MR, or Philips XperCT, allowing for:

• Planning of needle paths
• Real-time feedback on needle trajectory
• Adaptation to changes in imaging parameters

Maintenance

For reusable models, standard medical device cleaning and sterilization protocols should be followed after each use. Disposable models are intended for single use and should be disposed of according to medical waste regulations.

Manufacturer

Certain models are manufactured by Aspen Surgical, contributing to the category of equipment and imaging consumables in the medical field.
