What is it indicated for?

CoreLink Navigation Instruments are intended to be used in the preparation and placement of CoreLink screws (Tiger and Entasis) 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 S8 (V1.2.20), 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 vertebra, can be identified relative to a CT or MR based model, fluoroscopy images, or digitized landmarks of the anatomy.

Indications for use as stated in the FDA summary.
