During craniotomy procedure using the perforator which is designed to have a depth guard to limit how deep it drills failed and the bit came in contact with tissue.Luckily, no harm to patient.Physician was able to control bleeding with gelfoam which was later removed.The medtronic rep was in the or and wrote down device information to share with medtronic.We have removed all perforators with this lot number and will be working with the medtronic team.I have the device and would like to get it sent back to manufacturer for their input.
