Event Description
|
Medtronic received information regarding a guidance system being used during a spinal procedure.
It was reported that the patient went to the clinic over the weekend with foot drop that was potentially due to a misplaced screw.
Four screws were placed during a single position olif procedure using the guidance system on (b)(6) 2020.
An interbody was placed prior to placing the screws.
During the procedure, the instrument on the surgeon screen did not match the instrument in relation to the patient.
A second snapshot was completed to resolve the issue.
The patient did not have to be re-register.
No other issues occurred during the procedure.
The screws looked to be matched up with the planned trajectories according to confirmation images taken during the procedure; however, after further examination, the left l5 screw was medial by 3.
5-10 mm.
The initial procedure was delayed less than an hour.
A revision procedure was planned to reposition the screw, but had not been scheduled.
