Event Description

Upon physical evaluation of the size 6 left pf implant, the circulating nurse noted that the implant seemed to have a coating on it.(item number 180406 lot 23130911-01).It was noted that the implant did seem to have a film on it.Prior to opening the second ¿inner¿ package of the original implant, we obtained a second implant and opened this implant to the circulating nurse.(item number 180406 lot 364360-m) upon visual inspection, the same ¿film¿ or powder was noted on this implant.Having only these two implants, the decision was made to use the original implant (item number 180406 lot 26130911-01) to complete the case.Prior to implanting the component was thoroughly washed with a solution of bacitracin and normal saline.After washing the implant was visually inspected for debris and none were noted.The implant was then implanted per standard procedure and the case was completed without further issue.Sales rep provided that surgical delay was 3 minutes.
