It was reported that during a meniscus repair surgery, but before use; the two loop retrievers of the "set meniscus mender ii" were already disassembled between head and shaft when the package was opened.
Although it is unknown if backup device was available, there is no confirmation that reasonably suggests the procedure cancellation, a change in the surgical technique, nor the use of a competitor device occurred.
However, the surgery was not delayed and no patient injuries or other complications were reported.
