Medtronic received information regarding a guidance system being used during a spinal procedure.It was reported that the instruments were inaccurate by about 5 to 6 mm during a case.The healthcare professional went back to reverify all of the instruments.After the verification, the instruments seemed on, but once they returned to navigation, they were off again.The surgeon reluctantly continued surgery, but the delay was approximately two hours.The only instrument that was accurate in the case was the drill.There was no impact on the patient outcome.Additional information received from a manufacturer representative reported that the site re-registered to resolve the inaccuracy.
