Event Description

Additional information was received indicating two burr hole devices were opened, the left side used the base and cover of one from another one and on the right side they successfully used the clip of the first burr hole with a new base and cover.It was clarified the hcp was not fully confident about the secure closing by the cover of the burr hole device.In addition, due to the hcp's technique, the floor of the recess planar can be curved, not uniformly curved, but manually curved.The floor of the recess planar could not be smooth but with local high spots.It was indicated that the centering tool was not used by the hcp, and the base ring may have been slightly misaligned with the 14 mm burr hole.The screws were removed from the centering tool and aligned manually.The orientation of the line relative to the patient anterior-posterior axis was parallel.The orientation of the line relative to the slit between the clip jaws was parallel, as well.The hcp did not used the jaws as a troubleshooting technique.
