SpineAR SNAP is intended for use for pre-operative surgical planning on-screen and in a virtual environment, and intra-operative surgical planning and visualization on-screen and in an augmented environment using the HoloLens2 and Magic Leap 1 AR headset displays with validated navigation systems as identified in the device labeling.
SpineAR SNAP is indicated for spinal stereotaxic surgery, and where reference to a rigid anatomical structure, such as the spine, can be identified relative to images of the anatomy. SpineAR is intended for use in spinal implant procedures, such as Pedicle Screw Placement, in the lumbar and thoracic regions with the Magic Leap 1 and HoloLens2 AR headsets.
The virtual display should not be relied upon solely for absolute positional information and should always be used in conjunction with the displayed 2D stereotaxic information.
Indications for use as stated in the FDA summary.
