The Zeta cranial navigation system’s special clearance applies to enhanced software features and compatibility with additional accessories. Zeta Surgical’s mixed reality (MR) system initially received FDA clearance in September.

The Zeta cranial navigation system provides surgeons with GPS-like guidance and millimetric accuracy in real time. Boston-based Zeta Surgical designed it with a computer vision engine to ensure maintained accuracy. It automatically registers multiple times per second, accounting for patient movement.

Users can deploy Zeta both inside and outside the operating room. This feature eliminates the need for general anesthesia and rigid skull immobilization.
