message will be displayed. If the interference is excessive, the IM nail image on the navigation screen
will disappear. If interference cannot be avoided, a standard X-Ray technique must be used.

TRIGEN™ femoral antegrade nails (TAN™/FAN/
Pediatric/Adolescent), the Anteversion Locking
Guide (7169-2816) should be used along with a
4.0mm Drill Sleeve/Drill Bit to keep the IM nail
from rotating.
Critical Verify there are no other metal
objects (including metal triangles) in the field.
Metal interference will cause the system to
be inaccurate.
