DESCRIPTION
The PHACON Temporal Bone Trainer is a modular system.
This trainer consists of a head model connected to a laptop comput-
er configured with special training system software. The head model
is designed to receive a disposable temporal bone insert. The insert
is intended to be used for a single surgical simulation and discarded
after use. The trainer provides visual and tactile feedback through the
laptop computer’s graphical user interface (GUI) and the use of real
surgical instruments.
Through the use of sensors, the bone insert is designed to detect
whether the surgical instrument has made contact with a critical ana-
tomical risk structure, like the Dura Mater. A visual and audible signal
is provided during the simulation if the risk structure is injured.
The head model is also equipped with a navigation camera. The cam-
era used in combination with the navigation feature provides the ca-
pability to monitor the tip location of a pointer or surgical instrument.
The training system software will record the duration of the training
simulation, the type of risk structure injured, and the number of risk
structures injured. After the training simulation, this information may
be viewed and statistically evaluated.
OTHER GENERAL WARNINGS
Please put the trainer and laptop on a firm surface that can not tilt.
Do not place the laptop with its power cable directly to the PHACON
assistant with his head and PHACON patient. Water injection risk!
If you find that the insulation on the cables is loose, please replace it
and do not use any damaged parts.
Always use your surgical instruments according to the intended use of
the manufacturer.
