Medtronic Navigation, Inc. is recalling approximately 67,370 Sterile Percutaneous Reference Pin Sets because the pins may not fit into the patient reference frame or the percutaneous pin adapter during surgery. This recall involves the 100mm (Product 9733235) and 150mm (Product 9733236) sizes used to secure patient references during image-guided surgical procedures.

If the reference pin does not fit the frame or adapter properly, it could cause delays during computer-assisted surgeries or prevent the rigid attachment needed for accurate surgical navigation.
