Spineology Navigation Instruments are intended to be used during the preparation and placement of Spineology’s Fortress, Threshold, Threshold V2, and Palisade pedicle screws 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, long bone, or vertebra, can be identified relative to a CT- or MR-based model, fluoroscopic images, or digitalized landmarks of the anatomy.
Indications for use as stated in the FDA summary.
