Event Description

The healthcare professional reported that during a functional endoscopic sinus surgery (fess) procedure with balloon sinuplasty, the following devices were used: a 6mm x 16mm relieva spinplus navigation balloon sinuplasty system (rsp0616mfsn / lot# unknown), a 0° trudi nav suction device (tdns000z / lot#: unknown), and an unknown curve suction device (catalog / lot# unknown) were used and there were accuracy issues with all of the devices used with the trudi system during the entire procedure.The healthcare professional reported that the accuracy issue was off from the start of the procedure.The devices were re-registered two or three times without resolution.The devices were displayed on the trudi system as 3 ¿ 4mm off.The procedure was able to be completed without any negative impact to the patient.The devices are reportedly not available to be returned.On 21-nov-2022, additional information was received.The information indicated that when the accuracy issue was observed, the icon on the trudi system was green.There was no error message on the trudi nav monitor for the device.The devices were plugged in initially after first registration but were already plugged in for next registrations.The patient tracker did not move, the patient tracker cable was not under tension; dpt was being used.Computer tomography (ct) scan was used as the primary image; more than one ct scan was not attempted to be used with any one of the devices.It is not known how many slices the ct scan contained; only that they are 0.4mm resolution.The inaccuracy issue was determined when the physician noticed that the trudi showed the crosshairs in the middle of the sphenoid sinus when he was actually touching the back wall of the sphenoid.There was no ferromagnetic material placed within the trudi zone during the point when the inaccuracy was noticed.It was not recalled if the crosshairs turned yellow.The emitter pad was not moved and there was no significant patient movement noted.No other device¿s shaft was in the proximity of the emitter pad¿s transmitter.The lot numbers of the devices are not obtainable; the trudi system serial number is (b)(4).Based on the additional event information received on 21-nov-2022, the accuracy issue was observed when the icon was green on the trudi system, the event has been deemed reportable as a ¿malfunction.¿.
