Reason/Issue |
Stryker has identified a problem with the characterisation process that impacted the constant values assigned to the associated MICS Handpieces.
The MICS constants are used by the Mako robot to position the MICS cutting tools according to the surgical plan. As a result, the physical Tool Center Point (TCP) does not match the value expected by the Mako System software.
This problem may result in a failed Mako Registration and Verification and/or an unsuccessful cutting tool check. The problem may also cause a discrepancy during bone preparation in a Mako Total Knee or a Mako Partial Knee procedure. The surgeon may make cuts during bone preparation that differ from the surgeon’s preoperative plan. |
