Product description

StealthStation S8 App versions 1.3.0 and 1.3.2, (Model # 9735762) The StealthStation System, with StealthStation Spine software, is intended as an aid for precisely locating anatomical structures in either open or percutaneous neurosurgical and orthopedic procedures.

Reason for recall

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.
