摘要

The invention relates to a surgical system and, more particularly, to a s urgical system and method for verifying calibration of a surgical device. Th e surgical system or method can be configured to perform the steps of: ident ifying an interface on an anatomy of a patient, determining a position of a checkpoint of the interface in a coordinate frame of reference, contacting t he interface with a portion of a surgical tool of the surgical device, deter mining a position of the portion of the surgical tool in the coordinate fram e of reference, and determining whether the position of the portion of the s urgical tool has an expected correspondence to the position of the checkpoin t. The interface may comprise a painted portion of a bone of the patient, a divot made in the bone, or a mechanical interface that includes a portion co nfigured to be affixed to the bone and an interface portion that is configur ed to be contacted by the portion of the surgical tool.
