"Class B” Flock of Birds

Home > Medical Applications > Class B Flock of Birds

Ascension’s “Class B” Flock is a regulatory-compliant version of our popular DC magnetic tracker. Electronics are housed in a metallic enclosure with appropriate modifications to fully meet IEC 60601 part 1 and part 2.

Use it to track the position and orientation in real-time of instruments including ultrasound probes. Tracking accuracy is unaffected by the nearby presence of conductive metals including aluminum, titanium and stainless steel 300.
