Components
The SMI Surgery Guidance system is based on the SMI Reference Unit, the SMI Surgery Pilot and the SMI Microscope Integrated Display.
SMI Reference Unit
The SMI Reference Unit outside the OR is used to take a high resolution pre-surgery reference image. It is a non-contact pre-op measurement device which seamlessly determines the K-values, the limbus and pupil location of the patients’ eye.
The SMI Reference Unit provides an intuitive and compact human interface ensuring state-of-the-art usability and optimal workflow efficiency.
SMI Surgery Pilot
The SMI Surgery Pilot is an image processing computer with a touch screen connected to the surgical microscope camera. It is located in the OR used for overlay configuration and provide the real-time registration and tracking overlay on the microscope camera live image during surgery. Before surgery starts, the surgeon defines the target axis, the incision and lens locations as well as the rhexis location and diameter for intra-surgery visualization by using the Reference Unit diagnostic information. These measurement results and the reference image from the SMI Reference Unit will be transferred via USB stick to the SMI Surgery Pilot in the OR.
SMI Microscope Integrated Display (MID)
The SMI Microscope Integrated Display is an image injection module for surgical microscopes. In connection with the SMI Surgery Pilot the MID provides a real-time tracking overlay conveniently in the binocular view. It improves the visualization and increases the surgery comfort. The MID is placed – like a beam splitter - in the optical path of the surgical microscope and can be ordered for most types of Leica, Möller-Wedel, Takagi and Zeiss ophthalmic surgical microscopes (* please communicate exact microscope type to SMI before order).
