Spine & Trauma 3D NavigationRecalls & reported problems across all models

We found 2 models of Spine & Trauma 3D Navigation by Brainlab SE in the FDA's device registry (GUDID). Together they are named in 131 adverse event reports in the FDA's MAUDE database, received between Aug 21, 2019 and Sep 4, 2026 — classified as 131 injuries.

The most frequently reported specific device problem is “Use of Device Problem” (129 reports).

1 FDA recall record name at least one of these models by its device identifier.

Reports come from manufacturers, hospitals and patients and are not verified by the FDA. A report does not prove the device caused the event. Widely used products collect more reports, so totals can't be used to compare products or estimate failure rates. Only reports that name a model's exact device identifier are counted.

Spine & Trauma 3D Navigation recalls

FDA recall records that name at least one of these models by its device identifier, newest first. Each recall usually covers specific models or lots, so check the details.

1. Feb 27, 2019Terminated

   In certain occurrences, the affected navigation software application might unexpectedly display a navigated instrument in an axial, coronal/sagittal (ACS) view representation with fixed planes in the image reconstruction (the not-updated ACS view ), instead of displaying the desirable view representation Inline View , which is commonly used for navigating invasive instruments at the spine. This could lead the surgeon to be unable to determine the position of the navigated instrument. This might occur after a crash restore or after changing between different navigation workflows during the same patient treatment.

  An open surgery at the lumbar spine for a transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion(TLIF) at L4/L5 with decompression/laminectomy due to grade I spondylolisthesis, with the intended placements of 4 bilateral k-wires, was performed with Brainlab Spine & Trauma 3D Navigation 1.5.Following successful placement of the K-wires at left L4 and L5, a navigation inaccuracy was observed during drilling at right L4 after the drill entered soft tissue. The affected trajectory was not used for final K-wire placement, and no instrumentation was placed based on the inaccurate navigation guidance. Navigation was discontinued, and the remainder of the procedure was completed conventionally.According to the surgeon (treating clinician):Procedure continued conventionally without navigation and the outcome of the surgery was successful as intended, with all placements correct at the end of the surgery.There was no direct (or increased) risk of harm to a critical structure due to the reported problem/apparent navigation inaccuracy at this surgery,There was no actual harm/negative clinical effect to the patient resulting due to the initial trajectory deviation at right L4, also not due to the prolongation

  An open surgery on the lumbar spine for a fusion of vertebrae L2-L3 and L3-L4, due to degeneration of L2-L3 and L3-L4, with intended placement of 6 screws bilateral for fixation (at L2, L3 and L4), was performed with the aid of the display by the Brainlab Navigation software Spine & Trauma 3D Navigation 1.5.From an intra-operative C-arm scan, the surgeon discovered that of 3 of the 6 screws placed with Brainlab navigation involved deviated from their intended positions (at left L2, L3 and L4, all 10mm too cranial). The k-wires and screws were corrected to their intended positions with navigation at the very same surgery.According to the hospital (treating clinician): Non-removal of the screws placed in a different location than intended with Brainlab Navigation involved would potentially have led to a resulting critical/serious harm to the patient (for e.g. permanent damage/impairment), because of affecting the nerves at L2 and L3. The final outcome of the surgery was successful as intended, with all screw placements correct at the end of the surgery.Although there was a direct risk of critical harm to the patient (for e.g. permanent damage/impairment), because of the deviating pla
