Intended Use
Medtronic Navigated Instruments are intended to be used during the preparation and placement of Medtronic screws during spinal surgery to assist the surgeon in precisely locating anatomical structures in either open or minimally invasive procedures. Medtronic Navigated Instruments are specifically designed for use with the StealthStation® System, which is indicated for any medical condition in which the use of stereotactic surgery may be appropriate, and where reference to a rigid anatomical structure, such as a skull, a long bone, or vertebra, can be identified relative to a CT or MR based model, fluoroscopy images, or digitized landmarks of the anatomy. Medtronic Navigated Instruments are also compatible with the IPC® POWEREASE™ System.
Device Story
Navigated VERTEX SELECT® Instruments are surgical tools (screwdrivers, taps, drill bits) used for spinal screw preparation and placement. Instruments attach to NavLock™ Tracker for optical navigation via StealthStation® System; compatible with IPC® POWEREASE® System. Used in open or minimally invasive spinal surgery by surgeons. Instruments provide physical interface for bone preparation; navigation system tracks instrument position relative to patient anatomy (CT/MR/fluoroscopy/digitized landmarks). Output is visual guidance on navigation system display, assisting surgeon in precise anatomical localization. Benefits include improved accuracy in screw placement during spinal reconstruction.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. Testing included navigation accuracy analysis, anatomical simulated use, navigation simulated use, CAD model evaluation, implant/instrument mating verification, and functional testing of the Spine Tools package to ensure interface compatibility with application software.
Technological Characteristics
Materials: Stainless steel. Sensing: Optical navigation via NavLock™ Tracker. Energy: Manual or power-driven (IPC® POWEREASE® System). Form factor: Surgical instruments (screwdrivers, taps, drill bits). Connectivity: Compatible with StealthStation® navigation system. Sterilization: Reusable (non-sterile) and single-use (sterile) options.
Indications for Use
Indicated for patients undergoing spinal surgery requiring preparation and placement of Medtronic screws, where stereotactic surgery is appropriate and anatomical structures can be referenced to CT, MR, fluoroscopy, or digitized landmarks.
Regulatory Classification
Identification
A stereotaxic instrument is a device consisting of a rigid frame with a calibrated guide mechanism for precisely positioning probes or other devices within a patient's brain, spinal cord, or other part of the nervous system.

locating anatomical structures in either open or minimally invasive procedures. Medtronic Navigated Instruments are specifically designed for use with the StealthStation® System, which is indicated for any medical condition in which the use of stereotactic surgery may be appropriate, and where reference to a rigid anatomical structure, such as a skull, a long bone, or vertebra, can be identified relative to a CT or MR based model, fluoroscopy images, or digitized landmarks of the anatomy. Medtronic Navigated Instruments are also compatible with the IPC® POWEREASE® System.
#### VI. Comparison of the Technological Characteristics with the Predicate Device:
The Navigated VERTEX SELECT® Instruments are intended to be used during the preparation and placement of Medtronic screws during spinal surgery and are specifically designed for use with the StealthStation® System. Identical to the predicates, the Navigated VERTEX SELECT® Instruments attach to the NavLock™ Tracker, which allows for optical navigation of the surgical instruments. These devices have similar designs as the predicate devices and incorporate the same design features to enable navigation and use with the IPC® POWEREASE® System, when desired. Like the predicate devices, the subject Navigated VERTEX SELECT® Instruments are also made from stainless steel.
The following technological differences exist between the subject and predicate devices:
- . The Navigated VERTEX SELECT® Instruments are intended to be used with VERTEX ® Reconstruction System screws whereas the predicate Navigated CD HORIZON® SOLERA® instruments are intended to be used with the CD HORIZON® SOLERA® screws.
- The subject devices include a sterile drill bit while the predicate devices do not.
- The subject Navigated Taps & Drill Bits have a single lead threadform as compared to the dual lead threadform of the predicate Navigated Taps.
The instrument modifications detailed in this submission have no impact on the technological characteristics of either the existing instruments or the StealthStation® and IPC® POWEREASE® Systems.
