Due to an increase in complaint that the percutaneous reference pin would not fit into the patient reference frame or percutaneous pin adapter.
Due to two software anomalies that can occur within a spine procedure. Two issues are: 1. Navigation Orientation - when lateral orientation radiographic images are taken, information may appear flipped when utilizing the system (180 degree flipped). 2. Pop-up Message - when using CT+Fluouroscopy images with a slice spacing thickness greater than 2mm, the system does not display a pop-up message indicating the slice spacing is not optimal.
Due to a software issue, there is the potential for a missing digit, letter, or decimal in either the "distance to target" or "tip stop point" display during navigation.
