Read the full statement (227 words)

The Altus Spine Navigation System reusable instruments are indicated to be used during the preparation and placement of Altus Spine Valencia Pedicle Screw System and Altus Spine Monaco Pedicle Screw System screws during spinal surgery to assist the surgeon in precisely locating anatomical structures in either open or minimally invasive procedures. The Altus Spine Navigation System reusable instruments are specifically designed for use with the Medtronic StealthStation® System S8, 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.

• For a comprehensive summary of indications, the IFU for the specific system of use must be directly referenced: Altus Spine Valencia Pedicle Screw System / Altus Spine Monaco Pedicle Screw System.

The Altus Spine Navigation System is intended to pair with either the Altus Spine Valencia Pedicle Screw System or Altus Spine Monaco Pedicle Screw system to provide immobilization and stabilization of spinal segments in skeletally mature patients as an adjunct to fusion in the treatment of acute and chronic instabilities or deformities of the thoracic, lumbar and sacral spine.

The Altus Spine Navigation system may be used for noncervical pedicle fixation via posterior percutaneous approach with MIS instrumentation.

Indications for use as stated in the FDA summary.
