SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR DETERMINING LOCATION OF RELIEF REFERENCE POINT Russian patent published in 2015 - IPC A61B17/88 A61B17/17 A61B5/05 A61B5/06 

FIELD: medicine.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to medicine. System for determining location of relief reference point on orthopaedic implant contains device, made with possibility of processing in autoclave. Said device contains case, field generator for generation of electromagnetic field, first electromagnetic sensor for placing at specified distance from relief reference point and element, connected with case with possibility of detachment. Case is made with possibility of processing in autoclave. Said field generator contains multitude of elements, generating magnetic field and located inside case. Said device is made with possibility of functioning after sterilisation in autoclave. First electromagnetic sensor for placement at specified distance from relief reference point generates sensor readings in response to generated electromagnetic field. Said element determines longitudinal axis, representing one axis of generated electromagnetic field. System is made with possibility of using one axis of generated electromagnetic field for determination of element position relative to relief reference point.

EFFECT: invention provides possibility of easy sterilisation or processing in autoclave for re-use.
