2026Year4Month28Day,Global medical technology leader Medtronic (NYSE：MDT) officially announced itsStealth AXiSSurgical Robot Platform Receives EU ApprovalCECertification mark, marking the official entry of this innovative system into the European market.This certification covers two core application scenarios: spinal surgery and intracranial surgery, continuing the platform's previous success in the United States.FDAThe Approval Pathway——2026Approved for spinal surgery at the beginning of the year, followed by expansion to cranial and ENT surgeries.

Stealth AXiSDeveloped by Medtronic based on matureMazorSpinal Robot andStealthStationNavigation system upgrade, adopting modular robotic architecture andAIDual Innovation in Intelligent Architecture. The core breakthrough lies in achieving"Preoperative Precision Planning-Intraoperative Real-Time Navigation-Postoperative Visual Assessment"The full-process closed loop:

• Preoperative Stage,AISupports the generation of personalized surgical plans, combined with patientCT/MRIData constructs three-dimensional anatomical models;

• Intraoperative procedures,LiveAlignSegmental localization technology can track spinal anatomical movement in real time, ensuring precise alignment of instruments; in intracranial surgery,AIThe automatically generated traction map driven by the system can clearly map key neural pathways, assisting in avoiding critical brain functional areas.

• In the postoperative phase, the system provides visual assessment data to support efficacy tracking and regimen optimization.

The platform, through collaboration withGEHealthcareThe strategic cooperation has achieved seamless integration with intraoperative ultrasound technology, further enhancing the clarity of the surgical field and operational safety.

For this approval,Oli, Vice President of Medtronic International Business, Cranial and Spinal Technologies·Prosperi said:

"ObtainedStealth AXiSSystemTheCECertificationMarks an important milestone in the access to advanced surgical technology across Europe. Under the current EU medical device regulations (MDR) Obtained under the regulatory environmentCE"Certification highlights our commitment to bringing meaningful innovation in a highly diversified healthcare environment."

2026Year4Month22Day,VirginiaHCAReston Hospital Center Completes World's FirstStealth AXiSSurgery.By Christopher· A team of three doctors, Good, Colin Haines, and Esan Jazini, performed a single-level direct lateral interbody fusion (DLIF) procedure on the patient.DLIF) with three-level posterior instrumentation spinal fusion, and simultaneously completed laminectomy and bilateral sacroiliac joint fusion. The surgical team confirmed that the system significantly improved surgical accuracy through real-time segmental tracking and integrated navigation, while reducing intraoperative radiation exposure and promoting rapid postoperative recovery for the patient.

Dr. Good pointed out:"This is not only a technological iteration, but also marks a fundamental shift in the expectations of patients undergoing spinal surgery—from'Minimize Damage as Much as Possible'Turn to'Accurately Achieve Personalized Surgical Goals'。"Dr. Jazini emphasized,AISupport enables each surgical procedure to be tailored based on the unique anatomical features of the patient; Dr. Haines stated that real-time data feedback allows decision-making to be entirely based on individual anatomical characteristics, ultimately leading to safer surgical operations and faster recovery.。
