Spine Guidance Software, Stryker Q Guidance System

The Stryker Q Guidance System, when used with the Spine Guidance software, is intended as a planning and intraoperative guidance system to enable open or percutaneous computer assisted surgery in adult and pediatric (adolescent) patients. The system is indicated for any surgical procedure on the spine in which the use of computer assisted planning and surgery may be appropriate. The system can be used for intraoperative guidance where a reference to a rigid anatomical structure such as the spine, pelvis or skull can be identified. The system assists in the positioning of instruments for procedures on the spine and pelvis, including:
- Screw Placement in the spine or pelvis

The Stryker Q Guidance System with Spine Guidance 4.0 Software system is a computer-assisted stereotaxic, image-guided, planning, and intraoperative guidance system intended to enable open or percutaneous computer-assisted surgery. It assists the surgeon in precisely positioning instruments and locating patient anatomy during spinal surgery. The Q Guidance System with Spine Guidance 4.0 Software system is comprised of a computer platform, Spine Guidance Software, navigated accessories/instruments (e.g., patient/instrument trackers, pointers), and various system components (i.e. Calibration Body, Registration Pointer, etc.). The system provides intraoperative guidance to the surgeon using passive and active wireless optical tracking technologies. The computer platform consists of a computer, camera, big touchscreen monitor, and a small touchscreen monitor. The Spine Guidance 4.0 Software is dedicated to spine surgical procedures as defined in the indications for use. Required navigated instruments include a patient tracker, an instrument tracker, pointers, etc. An instrument battery is required when a battery powered instrument or calibration device is used. The Spine Guidance 4.0 Software displays the intraoperative location of navigated surgical instruments relative to imported patient medical images via wireless optical tracking technology. The software provides the functions to perform the indicated navigated spine surgical procedures. The software guides the user through the necessary preoperative and intraoperative steps required to set-up and perform the navigated spine surgical procedures.
