Reason for recall

Entry point and lead placement inaccuracies during deep brain stimulation lead implantation procedures may occur when using a specific combination of the firm's Steriotactic System and auto-registration feature with a specific imaging system (also known as a fiducial-less procedure). Minor patient movement may not be initially detected by the user or the software during the auto-registration scan process potentially resulting in inaccuracies and risks for the patient including: inaccurate lead placement, delay of surgery, aborted surgery, or additional intervention (including revision of the lead placement and subsequent imaging).
