Event Description

Medtronic received information regarding a guidance system being used during a spinal procedure.It was reported that navigation of the cannula and dilator was off during a l2-l4 right psis fixation procedure.After registration was completed, the patient had a coughing fit which caused movement.A new snapshot was done and navigation and guidance system accuracy was confirmed.The surgical arm was sent to the first trajectory and the cannula and dilator were placed down the arm guide, but navigation was off.Navigation of the drill was accurate.The issue occurred with all trajectories, but the screws were able to be placed accurately.After the procedure, the instruments were checked and they were not damaged.The instruments were able to be navigated accurately during the next procedure.The cause of the navigation inaccuracy was not determined.There was no patient harm and the procedure was delayed less than an hour.
