Advancing Surgical Certainty

 Mastering the complex.
ZEISS KINEVO 900

// INNOVATION
    MADE BY ZEISS
KINEVO 900 – The Robotic Visualization System
Just like you, we love challenging the status quo.

The result? Over 100 innovations to perfect the already acclaimed

surgical visualization platform. KINEVO® 900 from ZEISS is designed
to deliver more functionalities than any surgical microscope today.

ZEISS KINEVO 900 combines digital and optical visualization

modalities, offers a unique Micro-Inspection Tool and will
impress you with its Surgeon-Controlled Robotics. All to
enable you to gain greater certainty in a virtually disruption-free
workflow.

Designed to meet real needs. To make a real difference!

A lot more. And, a lot less too.
When treating complex vascular conditions, you typically work
at high magnification. Even the slightest vibrations can cause
disruptions. And constant manual repositioning to better
visualize structures or precisely approach deep-seated lesions
can become extremely tedious. Not anymore! ZEISS KINEVO 900
delivers a lot more positioning precision with a lot less effort.

PointLock

Focus Activate Swivel

Surgeon-Controlled Robotics adds a complete new level of ease to precise

positioning. Imagine being able to focus and move around a structure to visualize
the targeted anatomy – reducing any manual hassle. In addition, PointLock
enables you to do a KeyHole movement to observe a larger area inside a cavity –
a particular benefit in areas with narrow access. Simply put:
Focus. Activate. Swivel.

Active vibration damping

You know the problems that can be created by the tiniest vibrations. The active
damping provided by ZEISS KINEVO 900 minimizes collateral system vibrations,
ensuring rock-solid stability. Enabling you to completely, and steadily, focus on what
matters most: your treatment.

5
When you need it. Where you need it.
The new navigation interface of ZEISS KINEVO 900 is designed
to work in concert with your navigation device. When you require
precise repositioning to reexamine previously visualized structures
or when you need to align with a pre-mapped trajectory, making
use of all six axes, the Robotic Visualization System™ delivers
precise positioning at the push of a button. Putting you exactly
where you need to be – when you need to be there.

PositionMemory

Save Move Recall

When working on a tumor case, you may already have identified regions of
concern where you want to protect the functional structure. After storing these
in PositionMemory, you can come back and visualize them at the exact same
magnification, working distance and focus – without losing time for manual
repositioning. In a nutshell: Save. Move. Recall.

Image-guided surgery

Image with Brainlab Microscope Navigation Software

Minimize time-consuming efforts in approaching challenging neurosurgical

pathologies. Combine the Surgeon-Controlled Robotics of ZEISS KINEVO 900
with navigation interface to approach deep-seated pathologies in cranial surgery,
brain stem or skull base tumor removals – right when you need it.

New dimensions. Freedom of choice.
Working through oculars at extreme angles can sometimes be
a pain in the neck. Literally. With no way out, you might have
to contend with uncomfortable working positions causing fatigue.
Now, relief and revolutionary dimensions in visualization are
in sight.

The Digital Hybrid Visualization with integrated 4K technology

of ZEISS KINEVO 900 welcomes you to a world of heads-up
ocular-free surgery, giving you freedom of movement. And
freedom of choice to use an optical setup, depending on the
application need.

Fully integrated 4K camera technology

During lateral lumbar or thoracic spine and posterior fossa approaches,

ZEISS KINEVO 900’s integrated 4K visualization can be essential. It provides
you with multimodal visualization capabilities – the flexibility to decouple from
the classic optical approach and to work with outstanding 4K picture quality
and clarity. Even when magnifying tiny details.

What’s more… your assistant surgeon, OR staff and residents also benefit from the
4K visual clarity of ZEISS KINEVO 900. They share the same high-resolution, digital
image to follow the procedure with comparable fidelity. Delivering indispensable
education and training.

Critical challenge. Vital solution.
Your challenge: When working from an external perspective
of a surgical microscope, your visualization of the anatomy is
limited to a straight line of sight – missing critical information
behind tissue or corners. Efficient and effortless access to this
comprehensive information is essential for treatment.

Our solution: QEVO® from ZEISS

The unique, proprietary Micro-Inspection Tool from ZEISS
complements intraoperative microsurgical visualization,
enabling you to discover unexplored areas during the surgical
intervention without additional footprint. You can look around
corners and eliminate blind spots. And most importantly, you
can gain greater insights – for better clinical decisions.

To support your surgical workflow, ZEISS QEVO is engineered

with an angled design – keeping your hands out of the line
of sight during insertion in the surgical field. And, it allows
for an easy fit between the ZEISS KINEVO 900 and the situs,
eliminating the need to reposition the head of the device.

Greater insights, on demand.

ZEISS QEVO enables you to inspect the perforator or examine the distal neck of
the aneurysm to ensure the clip blades are fully extended.

11
Ease of use. Peace of mind.
Surgical certainty is your imperative. Enabling you to achieve it
is ours. That’s why, in the development of the Micro-Inspection
Tool, we placed a high priority on its ease of use.

ZEISS QEVO is truly integrated. You don’t have to plan for

an additional device during surgery. Just plug it into your
ZEISS KINEVO 900 for a seamless surgical workflow and to
easily switch back and forth between views.

ZEISS QEVO is fully autoclavable. So there’s no need for

any additional draping. This is another attribute that makes
ZEISS QEVO an indispensable tool – always available during
surgery. On demand.

ZEISS QEVO. Innovation in action.

ZEISS KINEVO 900 can support discerning regions that are not directly visualized –
avoiding unnecessary bone removal and retraction. During a Vestibular Schwannoma
case, for instance, it can help identify the course of facial nerves. And, can support
inspection of regions that are not directly visualized by a surgical microscope.

13
Deeper insights. Greater control.
Imagine being able to identify the blood flow in the tiniest blood vessels with an intraoperative
angiogram during any vascular procedure. Or to analyze the blood flow dynamics in real time.
Or to visualize fluorescence-stained structures while viewing the anatomy in natural-like colors.
Or, all of the above with one system!

In challenging neurosurgery, visualization adjuncts are essential for making the right decisions at
the right time. The redesigned Intraoperative Fluorescence Technologies from ZEISS offer you the
Power of Four – so you are always equipped with the tools you need. Check. Interpret. Decide.

ZEISS INFRARED 800 –

Now in HD resolution
Intraoperative visual assessment of blood flow
and vessel patency during aneurysm, bypass and
AVM surgery is critical to your treatment. During
such complex vascular procedures, the new high
definition visual quality of ZEISS INFRARED 800
enables visualization of sub-millimeter blood vessels
– for deeper insights into the blood flow dynamics.

Virtually uninterrupted focus. Always.

ZEISS KINEVO 900 optimizes the workflow to
deliver a live overlay of the ZEISS INFRARED 800
image in the oculars – for a virtually uninterrupted
workflow.

14
ZEISS FLOW 800
FLOW® 800 from ZEISS is a unique analysis tool generating blood flow dynamics data by identifying detailed vessel blood flow
from INFRARED 800 video sequences – intraoperatively. The newly transformed ZEISS FLOW 800 delivers a more convenient
visual assessment of the increase in the fluorescence intensity during the procedure.

For the indicative time: The Delay Map (or For the fluorescence distribution: The Intensity For the speed of the flow: The Speed Map
Summary Map) provides quick information about Map enables you to conveniently identify relative indicates how fast the fluorescence intensity
