## Indications for use
The Stryker Navigation System, with the CranialMap software application, is intended as a planning and intraoperative guidance system to enable open or percutaneous computer-assisted surgery. The system is indicated for any medical condition in which the use of computer-assisted planning and surgery may be appropriate. The system can be used for intraoperative guidance where a reference to a rigid anatomical structure can be identified. The system should be operated only by trained personnel such as surgeons and clinic staff. The system assists in the positioning of instruments for cranial procedures, including: - Cranial biopsies - Puncture of abscesses - Craniotomies - Craniectomies - Resection of tumors and other lesions - Removal of foreign objects - Skull base procedures - Transnasal neurosurgical procedures - Transphenoidal pituitary surgery - Shunt placement, including pediatric shunt placement - Placement of electrodes for recording, stimulation and lesion generation - Endoscopic Sinus Surgery (ESS) - Intranasal procedures - Ear implant procedures - Craniofacial procedures - Skull reconstruction procedures - Orbital cavity reconstruction procedures The user should consult Chapter "System Accuracy" of the safety information to assess if the accuracy of the system is suitable for their needs. The Stryker CranialMap Planning software application, when used on a compliant computer, is intended as a planning software to enable open or percutaneous computer-assisted surgery. The software application is indicated for any medical condition in which the use of computer-assisted planning may be appropriate. The software application should be operated only by trained personnel such as surgeons and clinic staff. This can include the following cranial procedures: - Cranial biopsies - Puncture of abscesses - Craniotomies - Craniectomies - Resection of tumors and other lesions - Removal of foreign objects - Skull base procedures - Transnasal neurosurgical procedures - Transphenoidal pituitary surgery - Shunt placement, including pediatric shunt placement - Placement of electrodes for recording, stimulation and lesion generation - Endoscopic Sinus Surgery (ESS) - Intranasal procedures - Ear implant procedures - Craniofacial procedures - Skull reconstruction procedures - Orbital cavity reconstruction procedures The Stryker CranialMask Tracker is intended to be used as an accessory to the Stryker Navigation System, with the CranialMap software application. It is placed onto the patient’s face on top of the skin. - In combination with preoperative and intraoperative imaging devices, it enables automatic patient registration for open or percutaneous computer assisted surgery. - The Stryker CranialMask Tracker can be used as a noninvasive patient tracker to support open or percutaneous cranial procedures.
