According to customer checklist; the surgeon was using the new medtronic robot, the surgeon places the bolts through the reducing sleeve on the robot, versus removing the sleeve as some do.Updated 03/08/2024.The product was returned for evaluation.The alleged complaint was confirmed that the anchor bolt was broken.The anchor bolt broke at the point it was designed to break.Breaking can occur from many things like excessive force when tightening, patient movement (seizures) during monitoring, etc.In this case, the bolts broke at removal but we are not able to determine when the damage leading to the break occurred.The calculated occurrence level matches the occurrence level present in the risk file and the resulting risk level will remain "alap".No further action is needed at this time.
