Reported event: an event regarding pain involving a triathlon insert was reported.The event was not confirmed.Method & results: product evaluation and results: material analysis, visual, functional and dimensional inspections could not be performed as the device remained implanted.Clinician review: a review of the provided medical information by a clinical consultant indicated: adverse event identified: severe blistering and skin break down lateral and inferior to the knee incision.Hazards: none clearly related to implant or the mako device.Conclusion of assessment: the patient had severe blistering and ultimately a grade 3 type of skin injury.It was felt by the clinical teams that this was from swelling much like fracture blistering.There was no actual support for that claim.The sources of cause of the blistering was unclear.The skin injury healed over a 1 month period with help from the wound care team.There was no evidence that the robot had any relation to the skin issues.The patient was apparently linking claims against the davinci device to the mako.Product history review: review of the device history records indicate devices were manufactured and accepted into final stock with no relevant reported discrepancies.Complaint history review: there have been no other similar events for the lot referenced.Conclusions: it was reported that the patient experience pain.The exact cause of the event could not be determined because insufficient information was provided.No further investigation for this event is possible at this time.If additional information become available to indicate further evaluation is warranted, this record will be reopened.
