Manufacturer Narrative

Review of the manufacturing records of the involved implant was performed and it was found that the lot was manufactured in accordance with specifications and no discrepancies were found.The explants were not obtained for investigation.However, there was no indication of hardware failure, the surgeon replaced only two screws with new premia spine screws of larger diameter and indicated that the loosening was due to spondylodiscitis.Screw loosening is a known complication in spinal fusion and in orthopedic surgeries in general and may be attributed to multiple factors including bone quality, patient's age and weight bearing forces.The rate of screw loosening in premia spine procedures is much lower than the rates reported in the literature for spine fusion procedures.Altogether, it is assumed that the loosening is related to the disease/technique rather than to a device failure.
