    Medtronic has become aware that the specific lots of suction instruments are not able to pass instrument verification. instrument verification is a step in the software which is performed prior to the use of each instrument. this verification step confirms device tracking functionality and prevents use of the device if a passing verification is not achieved. the impacted devices were made with a particular stainless steel stock material that exhibits magnetic characteristics (magnetic permeability) causing interference with electromagnetic (em) tracking capability of the stealthstation. if this issue presents during surgery it may result in surgery being extended to troubleshoot the issue discontinuation of navigation or aborting surgery if alternative instruments are not available to proceed. there have been no reports of patient injury.
