Medtronic received information that, while in a spinal fusion, the gantry door of the imaging system would close.But the gantry could not rotate to the anterior posterior (ap) position for an image acquisition due to the pendant displaying that the gantry door was open.It was reported that the tube and detector were manually rotated to the ap position and the message cleared on the pendant.There was a reported delay to the procedure of 17 minutes due to this issue.The surgeon opted to complete the procedure without the use of the navigation system.The surgeon completed the procedure with the use of the imaging system.There was no reported impact on patient outcome.No additional information was provided.
