Globus Medical, Inc. has received CE marking for its Excelsius3D intelligent 3-in-1 imaging system, clearing the path for commercial sale in the European Union and the United Kingdom.
What the CE mark covers
Excelsius3D is a mobile X-ray system designed for 2D fluoroscopy, 2D digital radiography, and 3D cone-beam computed tomography in a single platform. Indicated for use in adult and pediatric patients, the system provides 2D and 3D information on anatomic structures and high-contrast objects such as bony anatomy and metallic objects. Its images are compatible with image-guided systems, including the ExcelsiusGPS robotic navigation system.
The system is designed for intraoperative use and features a compact footprint with omnidirectional wheels to facilitate positioning and transport within the operating room. It can function as a stand-alone intraoperative imaging platform or as an integrated component of the broader Excelsius Ecosystem alongside ExcelsiusGPS.
Integration with the Excelsius Ecosystem
The CE marking expands Globus Medical's Excelsius Ecosystem of enabling technologies and enhances the capabilities of the ExcelsiusGPS robotic navigation system in the European Union. The integration connects intraoperative imaging, navigation, and robotics within a single procedural workflow.
Key features of the Excelsius3D system include:
- Combined 3D cone-beam CT, 2D fluoroscopy, and digital radiography in one platform
- Seamless integration with ExcelsiusGPS for intraoperative imaging and robotic navigation
- Compact footprint with omnidirectional wheels for operating room mobility
- Stand-alone or integrated deployment flexibility for hospitals and surgical teams
Regulatory milestones
The following table summarises the regulatory clearances obtained for the Excelsius3D system:
| Regulatory milestone | Details |
|---|---|
| U.S. FDA 510(k) clearance | 2021 |
| CE marking | European Union and United Kingdom |
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration granted 510(k) clearance for Excelsius3D in 2021. With CE marking now secured, Globus Medical plans to begin commercialising the system in the European Union and United Kingdom markets.
Executive commentary
Keith Pfeil, President and Chief Executive Officer of Globus Medical, described the CE mark as an important milestone in the continued expansion of the Excelsius Ecosystem, noting the company's commitment to bringing enabling technologies to surgeons globally. Norbert Johnson, Chief Technology Officer, highlighted that the system was developed to bring advanced imaging capabilities into a mobile platform that integrates within the surgical workflow, with its connection to ExcelsiusGPS representing a step toward linking imaging, navigation, and robotics within the ecosystem.
How might the commercialization of Excelsius3D in Europe impact Globus Medical's revenue mix and competitive positioning against rivals like Stryker and Medtronic?
What is the projected timeline for hospital adoption of the Excelsius Ecosystem in key EU markets, and what barriers to entry remain for this integrated robotic navigation solution?
Could the success of Excelsius3D in Europe accelerate Globus Medical's strategy to pursue regulatory approvals in other major international markets, such as Japan or Australia?
