What is it indicated for?
The EXCELSIUS GPS™ is intended for use as an aid for precisely locating anatomical structures and for the spatial positioning and orientation of an instrument holder or guide tube to be used by surgeons for navigating and/or guiding compatible surgical 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.
Indications for use read by OCR from a scanned FDA summary, so letters may be misread. Check the PDF before quoting it.
