Hi all,
I have a potential device - software/laptop with attached camera 'looking' at passive metal probe used to determine locations in space of various bones (surgically).
In terms of an active device definition - I am struggling with the definition of administer or exchange of energy:
The laptop converts electricity in order to power the software.
The camera converts visual images in to electronic signals
The probe converts mechanical resistance of motion (ie the user pushing it against bones) in to a visual position (visual images)
However, none of these really appear to be administer or exchange of energy and certainly no contact with patient.
Anyone have any opinions (asking the internet for an opinion haha)?
Examples of something similar might be (wikipedia.org/wiki/Stereotactic_surgery)
