Medtronic Surgical Instruments are intended to be used during the preparation and placement of Medtronic implants during spinal surgery to assist the surgeon in precisely locating anatomical structures in either open, or minimally invasive, procedures. Medtronic Surgical Instruments are specifically designed for use with the MAZOR X Stealth™ Edition, 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. Medtronic Surgical Instruments can be navigated or non-navigated manual instruments that may or may not be guided through the MAZOR X Arm Guide. Medtronic surgical drills shall only be used through the MAZOR X arm guides, Medtronic cannulas, and Medtronic drill guides. Some of the Medtronic Surgical Instruments are also compatible with the [IPC™ POWEREASE™ System. An instrument may incorporate a measuring function which has uses as described on the label and the instrument.

Indications for use read by OCR from a scanned FDA summary, so letters may be misread. Check the PDF before quoting it.
