Manufacturer Narrative
|
Based on the information received from the investigation, the patient was secured using 3-inch silk tape and not the safety strap as mentioned in the instructions for use that might have contributed to the patient fall.Device evaluation by the field service engineer and hospital personnel could not reproduce the problem as initially reported.On (b)(6) 2022 it was reported to mizuho osi that the patient died one week after the surgery on (b)(6) 2022.The investigation findings do not lead to a clear conclusion about the cause of the reported adverse event.It is unknown if the operating room fall may have contributed to the patient death, or if it was due to the broken bone and surgery on top of the patient's already fragile condition.
