Information was received from a healthcare provider via a manufacturer representative regarding a patient with pre-operative diagnosis of vertebral compression fracture.It was reported that intra-op, luer-lock connection of the bone fillers are not frictional.There was no strong connection to the adapter.Hence there was cement leakage between the bone fillers and the adapter.Surgeons can not get enough cement to fill the cavity of the vertebra.The whole of the luer-lock connection of the bone fillers are too big in a diameter.Surgeon and nurse pressed the fillers to the adapter and get some cement, use of the adapter was discontinued and syringe was used to get more cement.There were no patient complications associated with the event.Surgery was completed successfully.There was a delay of 3 minutes in overall procedure time.No leakage in the patient.Bone fillers always in contact with the patient.We pressed the bone fillers with 4 hands to the adapter.
