Manufacturer Narrative
|
The warnings in the package insert state this type of event can occur.The user facility is foreign; therefore a facility medwatch report will not be available.The design and inspection scans were reviewed and the implants were found to be manufactured according to the design requirements.The most likely underlying cause of the complaint is patient movement on the ct scan used for design of the implant.The surgeon chose to approve the use of the scan.The original report stated the device would be evaluated, the implant was not returned for evaluation as it remains implanted in the patient.
