Globus Navigation Instruments are intended to be used during the preparation and placement of Globus screws (QUARTEX®, CREO®, REVERE®, REVOLVE®, ELLIPSE®, PROTEX® CT, and SI-LOK®) during spinal surgery to assist the surgeon in precisely locating anatomical structures in either open or minimally invasive procedures. These instruments are designed for use with the Medtronic StealthStation® 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 of the anatomy.
Indications for use read by OCR from a scanned FDA summary, so letters may be misread. Check the PDF before quoting it.
