USFDA clears Stryker's Q Guidance System with Cranial Guidance Software
The Cranial Guidance Software is powered by Stryker's Q Guidance System and can be used with a range of instruments and accessories for navigated cranial procedures.
Kalamazoo: Stryker has announced that its Q Guidance System with Cranial Guidance Software has received 510(k) clearance from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. The Q Guidance System is an image-based planning and intraoperative guidance system designed to support cranial surgeries. Recently launched in September 2022, the Q Guidance System for spinal applications is currently available on the market.
The Q Guidance System with Cranial Guidance Software is indicated for any medical condition in which the use of computer-assisted planning and surgery may be appropriate and can be used for intraoperative guidance where a reference to a rigid anatomical structure can be identified. It tracks navigated instruments and displays the position and orientation of the instruments in patient images. "The Cranial Guidance Software includes automatic, algorithmic processing and comprehensive guidance data that aim to elevate confidence and surgical ability," the company stated.
