The SeaSpine Navigation System reusable instruments are intended to be used during the preparation and placement of SeaSpine screws during spinal surgery to assist the surgeon in precisely locating anatomical structures in either open or minimally invasive procedures. The SeaSpine Navigation reusable instruments are specifically designed for use with the Medtronic Stealth Station System, which is indicated for any medical condition in which the use of stereotactic surgery may be appropriate, and where reference to a rigid anatomical structure, such as a skull, a long bone, or vertebra, can be identified relative to a CT or MR based model, fluoroscopy images, or digitized landmarks for the anatomy.

Indications for use as stated in the FDA summary.
