U.S. Prospective Evaluation of EPIONE Device for Percutaneous MSK Procedures
Evaluation of the Epione Robotic System for Image-guided Percutaneous MSK Procedures of the Pelvis and Spine in USA. A Prospective Study on Feasibility, Safety and Accuracy
Precision IO Group
60 participants

INTERVENTIONAL
Conditions
Summary
The goal of this investigational device exemption is to evaluate the Epione assistance for introducer placement during percutaneous procedures in musculo-skeletic (MSK) structures of the pelvis and the spine in adults. The main question is the determination of the rate of feasible procedures assisted by the Epione device Participants will undergo their procedure(s) as planned by their physician. If they accept to participate to the study, the differences with standard of care will be: * The use of the Epione device to place the introducer(s), instead of freehand placement if they do not participate * Additional CT or CBCT scans during the procedure.
Eligibility
Inclusion Criteria4

- Patients unable to maintain appropriate breathing control,
- Patients requiring CT- or CBCT-guided percutaneous procedure on target areas other than those indicated
- Patients unable to fully understand all relevant aspects of the clinical study necessary for their decision to participate, or who could be manipulated or unduly influenced because of a compromised position, expectation of benefits or fear of retaliatory response,
- Pregnant or breast-feeding women,
- Patients subject to a legal protection measure,
- Patients already participating in another conflicting interventional clinical study,
- Patients for whom the scan field of view cannot contain the anatomy of interest, the overlaying skin surface, skin markers and the whole patient reference.
