Event or Problem Description
|
|
Medtronic received information regarding a guidance system being used during a spinal fusion procedure.It was reported that after taking confirmation images with the non-medtronic imaging system, the surgeon noticed that 3 of the 4 screws placed had deviated from the plan.The surgeon decided 1 deviated screw was acceptable, but the other 2 needed to be repositioned.The left l3 screw deviated laterally by 3-4 millimeters (mm) and the right l3 screw deviated medially by 3-4 mm.To reposition these screws the surgeon switched to medtronic imaging and navigation systems.It was reported this occurred on a loaner system.The probable cause noted was a possible software issue.There was no impact to patient's outcome and surgical delay was reported as less than one-hour.
