Check NorthStar OCT Navigation instrument compatibility

The instruction guide for SeaSpine's NorthStar OCT Navigation surgical instruments incorrectly states that the tools work with both Medtronic Solera and Infinity system toolcards. In fact, they only work with Solera toolcards. Using these instruments with an Infinity system toolcard could result in device malfunction during surgery.

  • If you have NorthStar OCT Navigation instruments, verify you are using them only with Medtronic Solera toolcards
  • Do not use these instruments with Medtronic Infinity system toolcards
  • Contact SeaSpine for an updated instruction guide or confirmation of your system compatibility
Hazard

The NorthStar OCT Navigation Surgical Technique Guide (STG) incorrectly identified both Medtronic s Solera and Medtronic s Infinity system toolcards as compatible with the NorthStar OCT Navigation Instruments. However, the NorthStar OCT Navigation Instruments are compatible for use with Medtronic s Solera toolcards only.
