Manufacturer Narrative

H3 device evaluation - the 10-c3208-13 was returned w/ a hole cut into the face which mates w/ the peek plate.This may have been cut w/ a midas burr inter-operatively to aid with the cage's removal.As the complaint centers around a condition observed inter-operatively, being the plate and cage were skewed from one another, confirmation of the complaint cannot be achieved do to the lack of the inter-operative x-ray that was used to determine necessity to remove the cage.Also, the returned implants do not assist in complaint confirmation due to the damage noted.The complaint was unsubstantiated.Review of device history records (41203_10-c3208-13) found twenty-five (25) pieces of this lot released for distribution on 6/21/2022 with no deviation or anomalies.Two-year complaint history review found this to be the only complaint of this nature for any of the plate/cage part numbers in the vault alif family.This report is number 2 of 3 mdrs filed for the same event (reference 3005739886-2022-00030-1 / 00032-1).
