Abstract
A tracking system configured to track the movement of the medical device. The medical device can include a proximal portion that has a magnetic element attached thereto. The system can include a console with a display, and a TLS sensor. The TLS sensor can be disposed on a surface of the patient and can include an LED array. The LED array can indicate a proximity of the medical device to the TLS sensor. The LED array can provide different colors and/or project images to display information regarding the location, orientation, distance, or depth of the medical device. The display can be disposed on an upper surface of the TLS sensor and can be configured to show an image of the medical device disposed therebelow, along with additional information and imagery, thus providing a standalone unit.
