Volume Navigation Tracking Brackets for Endocavity Transducers
Volume Navigation Tracking Brackets for Endocavity Transducers
H4908NF
For use with GE Healthcare IC5-9-D ultrasound transducers. Introducing the next generation guidance system, that incorporates both tracking technology and needle guidance capabilities. These unique brackets with pink sensor mounts are designed to hold customized electromagnetic tracking sensors (EMT) in close proximity to the ultrasound transducer while connected to your ultrasound system. Tracking brackets must be used in ultrasound procedures where Volume Navigation (VNAV) is being performed. When ready for puncture, a disposable CIVCO needle guide may be used in conjunction with a VNAV bracket. The disposable guide snaps onto the transducer providing a fixed path for directing instruments according to on-screen software guidelines. This convenient starter kit includes a reusable Volume Navigation (VNAV) bracket and five sterile procedure kits including: CIV-Flex™ transducer cover, gel packet and colored elastic bands. Non-sterile probe clips are also included for easy connection of sensor cables to the transducer cable. Electromagnetic sensors are available by contacting your GE Healthcare representative. Design allows secure attachment of dual driveBAY™ sensors for stable positioning and improved accuracy throughout the procedure. CIV-Flex transducer cover kit provides extended sterile field to protect against cross contamination.
