Per -4509 final report.The inaccurate labeled device was identified during surgery.The surgery was delayed of 20 min with no patient impact.It is confirmed based on photograph that the part was packaged with the incorrect labeling.The appropriate device details were provided, and the relevant device manufacturing records have been identified and reviewed.It was found that these two batches were manufactured in nov 2021 as part of a batch of 10 and 16 and were considered as packaged and labelled according to specification at the time of manufacture.Some sampling was performed on parts from these 2 batches and this failure seems to be isolated and does not impact the whole batches.A project is ongoing in order to investigate the rootcause and implement corrective actions.We trust that the actions which will be identified by the project team will negate a repeat of the reported failure mode.A field action is also on-going to retrieve the parts from both affected batches.This case is now considered closed.Please note: this report is filed with the fda due to an adverse event experienced with a device that is similar to those placed on the market in the usa, however, this event occurred outside of the usa.The submission of this report does not constitute an admission that the device, reporting entity, entity's representative or distrubutor caused or contributed to this event.
