Monarch Platform Device Overview
This user manual refers to the Monarch Platform and the associated components
used with it. Refer to the following table for a list of products.
The Monarch Platform enables electro-mechanical articulation and precise
control of a flexible endoscope (bronchoscope) under continuous and direct
control by a physician operator. The Monarch Platform includes fused navigation
that integrates a pre-operative computed tomography scan into an intra-operative
interface displaying endoscope tip location relative to the pre-operative scan
anatomy.
Pre-Procedural Planning
Prior to the procedure, the Monarch Pre-Op Planning Application running on the
Monarch Pre-Op Planning System or Monarch Tower Touchscreen enables a
physician to review a pre-procedural CT scan and plan a pathway through the
airways for a physician-controlled bronchoscope to navigate towards the target of
interest. During the procedure, the software integrates a pre-procedural CT scan
into a user interface.
The Monarch Pre-Op Planning Application provides the following features:
• CT viewing capabilities similar to standard CT DICOM viewer software.
• Airway segmentation: segmentation of the trachea and main airways to aid
• Target identification: ability to select one or more targets of interest.
• Path planning: computer generated path to the target based on segmented
• Manual path planning: ability for user to identify airways and modify the path
visualization of the airways and path planning.
airways.
on the CT scan to finalize a pathway to the target as necessary.
Monarch Pre-Op Planning Application is accessible from both the Monarch
Tower Touchscreen and the Monarch Pre-Op Planning System.
Monarch Cart
The Monarch Cart is a maneuverable piece of capital equipment that can be
transported in and out of the bronchoscopy suite, stowed away when not in use,
and positioned relative to the patient table as needed for a given procedure. It is
used to transmit physician controls to the Monarch Bronchoscope System
(insertion, retraction, and articulation). It contains a Touchscreen monitor, two
robotic arms, and mating robotic Instrument Device Manipulators (IDM) which are
mountable, robotic interfaces for the bronchoscope.
300-002547-00 rev7 3
The following image shows the Monarch Cart with the robotic arms in the stow
position (left) and load Bronchoscope System position (right):
The Monarch Cart is a carrier for the robot arms. It includes two robotic arms
which contain rotary pulleys to actuate the drive cables in the Monarch
Bronchoscope System. The cart houses the electronic systems required to power
and operate the robot arms.

Monarch Tower
The Monarch Tower is a maneuverable piece of capital equipment that can be
transported in and out of the bronchoscopy suite and stowed away when not in
use. It is the primary physician procedural display interface. It contains a monitor
for physician viewing and computers running the Monarch Bronchoscopy Tower
Software, the Monarch Navigation Application, which displays real time video
captured from the Monarch Bronchoscope camera overlaid with information on
the status of the Monarch Platform and the Monarch Pre-Op Planning
Application. The tower also provides connectivity for the Monarch Bronchoscope
camera and lighting, as well as the fluidics system. The fluidics system has an
integrated pump and pinch valve to control irrigation and aspiration respectively.
The monitor is Touchscreen for physician input during setup, planning, and
procedure.

Navigation Field Generator and power distribution unit (PDU) box. The PDU
contains the power supply to the tower only, as well as the batteries and UPS
which provide auxiliary power in the event of system fault.
NOTE: The Monarch Platform incorporates an uninterruptible power supply
backup. In the event of a power outage, the backup supply provides a five-minute
operating window, which allows the operator to safely remove the Monarch
Bronchoscope System and shut down the Monarch Platform.
The tower includes the Monarch Controller that allows the clinician to control the
system during a procedure. Two joysticks are used to drive and articulate the
Monarch Bronchoscope while various buttons are used to control irrigation,
aspiration, Tower user interface, light, bronchoscope/sheath selection, and image
capture.

The following image shows the Monarch Controller:
Monarch Bronchoscope System
The Monarch Bronchoscope System is comprised of two collinear and concentric
devices, the inner Monarch Bronchoscope and the outer Monarch Bronchoscope
Sheath, both of which possess 4-way steering control. This configuration enables
the capability of telescoping, which enhances the Monarch Bronchoscope
System stability and access capability.
The following figure images show the Monarch Bronchoscope System and the
handles:

Monarch Bronchoscope Sheath
Monarch Bronchoscope
The Monarch Bronchoscope includes a camera that provides the operative
perspective, an integrated light source in the handle, and a 2.1mm inner diameter
working channel for the passing of manually controlled tools.
The Monarch Bronchoscope System has a distal section capable of achieving
articulation in any direction and any combination of the two to enable precise
control while driving the Monarch Bronchoscope.
