Event Description
|
Device report from synthes reports an event in (b)(6) as follows: it was reported via email from the healthcare practitioner (hcp) that, on march 16,2021 he had a problem with the 3 drill sleeve that could hardly be turned into the angular stable threaded holes of the 130° hip plate 5.0, neither at the proximal end for the femoral neck screws nor distally for the shaft screws.This was particularly problematic proximally after placement of the femoral neck wires.It could be a thread mismatch here or the threads of the drill sleeves are no longer good.In addition, the drill sleeves are difficult to handle and screw in with wet fingers (if you have found the correct direction), also the key grips poorly.Procedure was completed successfully.This report is for one (1) unk - plates.This is report 4 of 7 for complaint (b)(4).
