Event Description
|
It was reported that a perforator was used together with an ad03 and em200-r during a brain tumor resection procedure.They noticed that the number of rotations only reached about 4000 and an error code 16 was displayed.At that time, overheating also occurred.There was no backup drill that could be used and the procedure was discontinued for 90 minutes.During that time, a non-medtronic drill was borrowed from a different facility to complete the procedure.On follow up, it was reported that the perforator used was a codman and it was discarded.It was also added that the patient had no further issues post-surgery.
