Event Description

Medtronic received information regarding an imaging system being used in a spinal fusion procedure.It was reported that the site had the imaging system connected to the navigation system and the three boxes on the navigation system were green.They took the scan and nothing transferred over to the navigation system.The medtronic representative (rep) saw an image of the 3d scan and it did not have the [nav] tag.The rep suggested the site check the network cable connection and that the button was held down for the entire spin, but they decided to abort use of the navigation system and imaging system and continue with the surgery.There was no impact on patient outcome.There was a 20 minute delay in surgery.
