Event Description

The customer has reported a position discrepancy when positioning dbs electrode.The customer has been using fhc's microdrive (third party).Elekta is not claiming compatibility with fhc's microdrive.

Manufacturer Narrative

Updated.Expiration date: the expiration field completion on the initial report was erroneously completed.There is no expiration date updated.Device manufacture date has been corrected from (b)(6) 2018.The investigation was completed by conducting a thorough evaluation of the product and the reported information.It was reported by the user that they have seen a discrepancy when using the system for dbs implantations.This site is using a microdrive supplied by a third party (fhc) in conjunction with the leksell vantage stereotactic system.The leksell vantage stereotactic system has been investigated regarding mechanical accuracy and it is within specification.The leksell vantage stereotactic system has also been tested with the customer's fhc microdrive.It was found that the fhc microdrive itself introduces a consistent shift of approximately 1.2 mm in the same direction that the user has experienced.The fhc microdrive is assembled only to the stop holder without attachment to the guide holder, which is not the intension of the elekta systems.Interfacing towards only the stop holder is incorrect and will cause accuracy issues.The fhc microdrive is not verified by elekta to be compatible.In this case the root cause of the large shift (apart from the consistent shift of using the fhc microdrive) is probably caused by human error during setting of scales or assembling the vantage arc system or the fhc microdrive.This cannot be verified afterwards.A patient sustained a small haemorrhage, which did not require any intervention and revision of one electrode was necessary.No product related issues could be found with leksell vantage stereotactic system.
