Medtronic received information regarding a guidance system being used during a spinal procedure.It was reported that at levels l3-l5, there were registration issues that occurred and the 3define camera was not working.The surgical team proceeded with a generic work volume but was initially unable to pass registration.After retaking the shots, yellow values were obtained on l3 and l4, while l5 values remained red.The trajectory was set to right l3, which was reported to look good, but the trajectories on left l3 and both sides of l4 were reported to not look good.A medtronic navigation and imaging system were used to proceed with the case, resulting in a 15-minute surgical delay.No patient complications have been reported as a result of this event.Additional information was received.It was reported that the case was open and the surgeon could see where the initial dilator was interacting with the spine.The surgeon did not like the trajectory and felt like it was not accurate.The registration type was ct-fluoro.
