Additional Manufacturer Narrative
A review of the device history record associated with cfd-23202 lot # 360045 did not identify any anomalies within the manufacturing process which would contribute to this type of failure.This device was manufactured on 05-13-2021, placed into finished goods on 06-21-2021 with an original ship date of 06-21-2021 to the customer.Microaire received the complaint product on 01-21-2022 and within the complaint incident report (cir) the customer indicated that the surgery was delayed/extended by 1 hour.Visual evaluation of the product identified a break at the platform/post interface.The compression flanges are still intact on the post which confirms that the device broke prior to full insertion within the surgical site.Excessive loading/flexure on the platform can create a bending moment that results in fractures/breakage in the platform of the device.This can be a result of interaction with tissue or other surfaces.
