Captiva Spine received a FDA 510(k) clearance to market WatchTower ROAM. This new product is a compact version of their already ASC-READY WatchTower SNS (Spine Navigation System) platform. The debut of the WatchTower ROAM follows closely after a recently published study, affirming the effectiveness of the WatchTower Spine Navigation System and its novel 2D registration of a pre-operative CT for real-time 3D surgical navigation.
WatchTower ROAM allows spine surgeons who service multiple operative locations, especially Ambulatory Surgery Centers (ASCs), to have a consistent navigation platform that can be relocated to various surgical sites within the community. The WatchTower ROAM is designed to be more transportable.
In addition to the clearance of WatchTower ROAM, FDA granted 510(k) clearance for calibrator compatibility with 9” and 12” C-arm image intensifiers, making the system compatible with more C-arms in more locations.
Dale Mitchell, President of Captiva Spine, said, “The ROAM is a significant advancement towards navigation becoming a more practical standard of care through accessibility and affordability to previously underserved facilities. By integrating the real-time 3D spine navigation software used in the WatchTower SNS, ROAM can offer surgeons an affordable, efficient, powerful and mobile device.”
