Stryker Corp. said its Q Guidance System received 510(k) clearance from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.

The company said its Q Guidance System, when used with the Spine Guidance Software, is an advanced planning and intraoperative guidance system designed to enable open or percutaneous computer-assisted surgery.

Stryker said the Spine Guidance Software is the first spine navigation software to receive clearance from the FDA for use with pediatric patients aged 13 and older.

Stryker's Q Guidance System will be used to deliver surgical spine planning and navigation capability through multiple tracking options, sophisticated software algorithms and smart instrumentation, the company said.
