Event Description
|
Device report from (b)(6) reports an event as follows: it was reported that a l5-s1 tlif procedure was scheduled for (b)(6) 2020.Sets were delivered late after booking was made the previous day.The patient was moved to a later surgery slot.After patient was put under anesthesia, it was discovered that the stock of the vcffs screws was delivered incomplete after arrangement had been made to transfer stock from another set.There were not enough 6 x 45mm screws, and surgeon had to compromise by using a size that was available.During this time, it was also discovered that the tpal set was packed with the wrong inner tray and that all the instruments to be used to insert the cage were missing.This led to longer surgical time while the surgeon had to wait for instruments to be shipped to the hospital.Upon arrival, only the old inserter shaft, which was bulky, was delivered, which abetted in the surgeon damaging the dura of the spinal cord upon insertion of the cage.Procedure was completed successfully with a delay of fifteen to twenty (15-20) minutes.This report is for a t-pal spacer applicator knob.This is report 3 of 10 for (b)(4).
