    Description of Event or Problem · 0

    MEDTRONIC RECEIVED INFORMATION REGARDING A NAVIGATION SYSTEM USED DURING A TUMORECTOMY. IT WAS REPORTED THAT THERE WAS A NAVIGATION INACCURACY. ACCURACY WAS OBTAINED WITHOUT ANY PROBLEMS IN THE REGISTRATION. AFTER STERILIZATION, WHEN THE ACCURACY WAS CHECKED, NO ACCURACY WAS FOUND. BOTH THE ACTIVE AND PASSIVE POINTERS WERE SIMILARLY INACCURATE. THE USE OF THE NAVIGATION SYSTEM WAS DISCONTINUED AND THE OPERATION WAS PERFORMED WITHOUT ISSUE. THE INACCURACY WAS 150 MM (15 CM). THERE WAS NO DELAY AND NO IMPACT TO THE PATIENT. IT WAS CONFIRMED THAT THE SUPPORT ARM'S BALL JOINT PART HAD DETERIORATED, SO IT WAS POSSIBLE THAT THE SUPPORT ARM MOVED WHEN THE STERILE FRAME WAS ATTACHED. THE SYSTEM WAS THEN INSPECTED, BUT IT HAD OPERATED WITHOUT ANY PROBLEMS.
