What is it indicated for?
Vital Navigation instruments are to be used during the preparation and placement of Vital and Vitality screws during spinal surgery to assist the surgeon in precisely locating anatomical structures in either open or minimally invasive procedures. Vital Navigation instruments are specifically 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 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.
