It was reported that an a2000 mayfield 2000 skull clamp double ended swivel did not stabilize a pt's head at 60 pounds of pressure.This was considered an out of box failure and the unit was in contact with the pt.There was no revision or injury and it is unk whether there was a delay in surgery as a result of this issue.Add'l info received was as follows: "the skull clamp was put on our pt, using 60 pounds of pressure, and the head was still moving a little so we exchanged the clamp for another.There was no injury to the pt, just frustration by the surgeon.I use re-useable skull pins.".
