Event Description

It was reported that upon preparing to trial a bipolar head, the scrub tech could not get the trial onto the handle.He gave the nurse a back up set of instruments to open, and that handle worked fine.Upon examination of this instrument we determined that the ball bearings were stuck therefore not allowing the trial to seat onto the handle.There was no negative impact to the patient, and no extension to surgery time since there was a back up set available.
