The Navigation Module of the Cortium® System is intended to be used during the preparation and placement of Cortium® Universal OCT Spinal Fixation System screws during spinal surgery, to assist the surgeon in precisely locating anatomical structures. The Navigation Module of the Cortium® System is 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 MRI based model, fluoroscopy images, or digitized landmarks for the anatomy. Instruments of the Navigation Module of the Cortium® System are not intended for navigation of occipital screws.
Indications for use as stated in the FDA summary.
