Event Description
|
It was reported that, during a rotator procedure, the size of the bioinductive implant was wrong; the regeneten bioinductive implant looked and seemed to be labeled wrong regarding the size.The surgeon opened the box labeled ¿large¿.It did not cover the typical area that it normally does.After it was implanted the surgeon needed another one to cover the space that it normally would cover.Another ¿large¿ of the same lot number was used, however it seemed to be much larger and the accurate size.The procedure was successfully completed without significant delay using a back-up device.No patient injury or other complications were reported.
