Cassini Guidance System Receives MDR Approval, Launches Across European Union image

Cassini Technologies has announced that its Cassini Guidance System has received Medical Device Regulation (MDR) approval, making the system officially available for use across the European Union. 

The Cassini Guidance System is designed to support surgeons during IOL procedures by providing intraoperative alignment within 3° of the intended target.¹ The platform uses real-time tracking with an on-screen overlay, enabling surgeons to visualize guidance data directly during surgery. The system also integrates with all major surgical microscopes, helping surgical teams maintain efficient workflows in the operating room.

William Wiley, MD, said the technology helps meet the growing expectations patients have for visual outcomes.

“Patients have a high expectation that they are getting the best visual outcome. It’s Cassini’s combination of preoperative planning and intraoperative visualization that gives me the precision I need," Dr. Wiley said.

Cassini Technologies CEO Richard Spijkers said the MDR approval represents an important regulatory achievement for the company and an opportunity to bring the technology to more European surgical teams. With the approval secured, Cassini Technologies plans to expand adoption of the guidance system throughout the EU, offering surgeons tools designed to enhance precision and support better surgical outcomes.
