What FDA cleared it for
The Indications for Use statement, verbatim, from the decision document.
SpineAR SNAP is intended for use for pre-operative surgical planning on-screen and in a virtual environment, and intra-operative surgical planning and visualization on-screen and in an augmented environment using the HoloLens2 AR headset display with validated navigation systems as identified in the device labeling. SpineAR SNAP is indicated for spinal stereotaxic surgery, and where reference to a rigid anatomical structure, such as the spine, can be identified relative to images of the anatomy. SpineAR is intended for use in spinal implant procedures, such as Pedicle Screw Placement, in the lumbar and thoracic regions with the HoloLens2 AR headset. The virtual display should not be relied upon solely for absolute positional information and should always be used in conjunction with the displayed 2D stereotaxic information.
The product code's definition, from FDA's classification record. An orthopedic augmented reality device provides visual guidance during orthopedic procedures, where the use of stereotaxic navigation is utilized. Visual guidance is displayed as augmented reality stereoscopic images to intraoperatively augment the users field of view.

AN MIS PROCEDURE WAS PERFORMED ON L4-L5 TO NAVIGATE FOUR SCREWS. FINAL FLUOROSCOPY CONFIRMATION REVEALED THAT THE SCREWS WERE POSITIONED HIGHER THAN THE PLANNED TRAJECTORY, AND THEY WERE SUBSEQUENTLY REMOVED AND SUCCESSFULLY REVISED UNDER FLUOROSCOPY. NO PATIENT HARM WAS REPORTED. THE INVESTIGATION ATTRIBUTED THE EVENT TO INTRAOPERATIVE INSTABILITY AND CONSECUTIVE SHIFTS OF THE PERC PIN REFERENCE PLATFORM, LIKELY CAUSED BY INADEQUATE SEATING WITHIN THE PSIS BONE COMBINED WITH HIGHLY UNSTABLE […]

AN OPEN SPINAL PROCEDURE WAS PERFORMED. DURING THE PROCEDURE, NAVIGATION INACCURACIES WERE IDENTIFIED AT L2 AND S1, AND THE SCREWS WERE SUBSEQUENTLY REVISED UNDER FLUOROSCOPY. NO PATIENT HARM WAS REPORTED. THE INVESTIGATION ATTRIBUTED THE EVENT TO A PLATFORM SHIFT OF THE REFERENCE ASSEMBLY, LIKELY CAUSED BY INTRAOPERATIVE RETRACTOR MANIPULATION AND SUBOPTIMAL PIN SEATING. WHILE USER ERROR REMAINS THE MOST REASONABLE ASSUMPTION, A DEFINITIVE ROOT CAUSE COULD NOT BE CONCLUSIVELY CONFIRMED. AS […]
