Event Description

Medtronic received information regarding a guidance system being used during a spinal procedure.It was reported that there was inaccuracy due to a patient shift.All the screws were placed inaccurate.All screws were shifted, some medial and some lateral, but overall there was uniform inaccuracy.The inaccuracy was 3.5mm and less.The first screw inserted was perfect.The second screw placed was obstructed by the clamp.The new trajectory was obtained with the software, the arm was repositioned, and the arm was unobstructed by the clamp.At this time the site felt that there must have been patient movement that went undetected.All remaining screws on the right side were placed.Two or three screws punctured the dura on the right side.There were also screws that were placed in the disc space.The left side screws were in the canal.A revision surgery was performed to correct the inaccuracy.The patient experienced leg pain and the procedure was delayed by less than an hour.
