Captiva Spine earned the FDA’s clearance for flat-panel C-arm calibrators and AI-assisted registration for its WatchTower navigation system, according to a Nov. 13 news release.
The clearance applies to 21cm and 31cm flat-panel C-arm image calibrators and AI-assisted 2D-to-3D image registration. The newly-cleared AI registration automates key steps while maintaining surgeon control and verification.
The next phase of WatchTower software is expected to debut commercially in 2026.
