## Indications for use
Brainlab Compatible K2M Navigation Instraments are intended to be used in the preparation and placement of K2M pedicle screws (DENALI, MESA, EVEREST, YUKON) 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 Brainlab Navigation 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. The Brainlab Compatible K2M Navigation Instruments are not intended for navigation of occipital screws.
