Where flexibility meets precision
Choose your favourite control option for your robotic guidance system.
We always find the right solution for you.
While the ENDOFIXexo is operated exclusively through manual control, our robotic guidance system SOLOASSIST provides four control options. Users can operate the system simultaneously using JOYSTICK, VOICE CONTROL, REMOTE CONTROL or MANUAL GUIDANCE.
JOYSTICK suitable for all SOLOASSIST
- The JOYSTICK is attached directly to the surgeon’s instrument and enables a sensitive and precise control of the SOLOASSIST.
- The JOYSTICK can be connected to most common MIS instruments using magnetically locked MOUNTS.
- AKTORmed offers JOYSTICKs for left and right handed users.
- JOYSTICK, MOUNTS and ADAPTERS are multiuse and designed to be reprocessed in the STERILISATION TRAY.
REMOTE CONTROL - The ideal support for educational purposes
- The REMOTE CONTROL is an optional input device for the SOLOASSIST with a LASER POINTER
- It enables the instructing surgeon to control the movement of the SOLOASSIST and at the same time to show the performing surgeon anatomical structures on a screen.
- Covered with the COVER REMOTE, the REMOTE CONTROL can be used in a sterile environment.
- The REMOTE CONTROL can be used as the sole input device, or in parallel with the preferred input devices of the performing surgeon, such as VOICE CONTROL or JOYSTICK
Control the SOLOASSIST simply with your voice
- An intuitive set of commands allows a precise guidance of the endoscope during operation.
- It is possible to save several positions and to adjust to three preset movement speeds.
- The VOICE CONTROL is provided with English command recognition as standard, but many other languages are available on request.
“SAVE”, “RESTORE”, “RETURN”
The intuitive command set of the VOICE CONTROL allows a precise guidance of the endoscope during operation. Any command sequence is started with the hotword “SOLO”. After recognition of the hotword, commands are accepted for ten seconds. It is possible to save several positions and to adjust to three preset speeds. The four main directions (UP, DOWN, LEFT, RIGHT) as well as zooming (IN, OUT) can be combined with a distance modifier (ONE, TWO, THREE, FIVE, TEN) to enable an accurate control over the scope. In addition it is possible to use the keywords UPPER and LOWER to move diagonal.
The JOYSTICK is CE marked as class I product according to the MDR 2017/745.
The JOYSTICK is an optional input device for operation of and use in conjunction with SOLOASSIST. The intended use is entering direction commands to control the SOLOASSIST.
The REMOTE CONTROL is CE marked as class I product according to the MDR 2017/745.
The REMOTE CONTROL is an optional input device for operation of and use in conjunction with SOLOASSIST. The REMOTE CONTROL is used for controlling the position of the SOLOASSIST (and thus change of camera position) and showing of details on the surgical screen using the LASER POINTER.
The VOICE CONTROL is CE marked as class I product according to the MDR 2017/745.
The VOICE CONTROL is an optional input device for operation of and use in conjunction with SOLOASSIST. The intended use is the input of voice commands for control of SOLOASSIST.
The VOICE CONTROL and JOYSTICK are 510(k) cleared by FDA for use together with SOLOASSIST II. Please find more information on the intended use in the Regulatory Information section of SOLOASSIST II.
