The Power of Cobotic Surgery
Precision Robotic Assistance for Minimally Invasive Procedures
Find out how Freehand Surgeon is helping bring greater control, consistency, and accessibility to minimally invasive surgery.
FreeHand® 2.1 Panorama — Technical Overview
FreeHand® 2.1 Panorama is a compact robotic camera positioning system designed to provide stable, surgeon‑controlled endoscopic visualization during minimally invasive procedures. The system integrates precision electromechanical control with intuitive hands‑free operation, supporting consistent visual control while reducing reliance on manual camera assistance.
System Architecture
FreeHand® 2.1 Panorama consists of a robotic motion assembly, a control box, and user input interfaces, forming a self‑contained system that integrates seamlessly into standard operating room environments. The modular design enables efficient setup, secure positioning, and adaptable placement within the sterile field.
The system provides controlled robotic movement across multiple axes, enabling smooth camera positioning through pan, tilt, and zoom functions. Motion behavior is software‑managed and designed to support precise intraoperative adjustments, with selectable speed settings to match surgical preferences and workflow demands.
FreeHand® 2.1 Panorama. is engineered to maintain positional stability during procedures, supporting consistent visual framing without drift or unintended movement.
User Interaction
Surgeon control is achieved through intuitive, hands‑free inputs, allowing camera adjustments without interrupting operative flow. This design supports improved ergonomics and autonomy while maintaining direct surgeon control over the visual field.
Physical and Environmental Design
The system is compact and lightweight, designed for integration into modern operating rooms without imposing additional spatial constraints. It is specified for use within standard clinical temperature, humidity, and atmospheric conditions, supporting reliable operation throughout routine surgical workflows.
Electrical and Safety Design
FreeHand® 2.1 Panorama operates on universal mains power and incorporates medical‑grade electrical protection. The system is designed for non‑continuous robotic operation in line with its intended clinical use and includes internal safeguards to support controlled actuation and system reliability.

Sterility and Clinical Use
Clinical use is supported through dedicated single‑use sterile components that establish a sterile barrier between the robotic system and the surgical field. This enables compliance with infection prevention protocols while maintaining full system functionality during procedures.
Regulatory and Standards Compliance
FreeHand® 2.1 Panorama is classified as a Class I medical device under the EU Medical Device Regulation (MDR 2017/745) and is developed in accordance with applicable medical electrical equipment standards. The system meets electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) requirements for use in professional healthcare environments and has been assessed for immunity to interference from surgical energy devices
Product Lifecycle
The system is designed with a defined operational lifetime and clear servicing expectations. Single‑use sterile components and electronic elements are specified with controlled usage limits, supporting predictable performance and safe end‑of‑life handling in accordance with clinical and environmental regulations.
