Event Description

Information was received from healthcare provider (hcp) via a manufacturer representative regarding an event which occurred during u nknown spinal procedure.It was reported that this inserter tip sheared off when we implanted a pivox cage.The sheared off portion remains threaded into the cage that is implanted in the patient. the surgeon has no plans to revise because there is no way to reattach to the implant since the inserter tip is threaded into the implant holder. this instrument was not used during the surgery, because we looked and saw the instrument tip was chipped and didn't want to use it. there was no patient symptom reported.There were no further complications reported regarding the event.
