Event Description
|
It was reported that, before a cori-assisted surgery, the error communication failure showed on the screen.Even though the real intelligence robotic drill connection was reset and the machine was restarted, the issue persisted.As this happened during set-up, there was no patient involvement.Surgery was then performed with a back-up drill instead.

Section h3, h6: the real intelligence robotic drill, part number rob10013, serial number (b)(6), intended for treatment was not returned for evaluation.A relationship between the reported event and the device could not be established.A complaint history review for similar reported/confirmed complaints has identified prior events.A review of manufacturing records indicate the device met all specifications upon release into distribution.The failure mode and associated risk have been anticipated within the risk file and the documented risk level is still within the product risk profile.Although the reported problem was not confirmed through a visual or functional evaluation, factors contributing to the reported symptom may have been associated with internal exposure motor connectivity issues.Based on the investigation, the need for a corrective action is not recommended or required at this time.Should any additional information be received the complaint will be reopened.The failure mode will continue to be closely monitored through complaint investigation and trended through post market surveillance activities.

H7: if remedial action initiated, check type and h9: if action reported to fda under 21 usc 360i(f), list correction/removal reporting number section h3, h6: the real intelligence robotic drill, part number rob10013, serial number sn(b)(6), intended for treatment was not returned for evaluation.A relationship between the reported event and the device could not be established.A complaint history review for similar reported/confirmed complaints has identified prior events.A review of manufacturing records indicate the device met all specifications upon release into distribution.We have no reason to suspect that the product failed to meet any product specifications at the time of manufacture.A historical review concluded that the lot, serial number or part number reported in this event is related to a corrective/preventive action already implemented.The failure mode and associated risk have been anticipated within the risk file and the documented risk level is still within the product risk profile.Although the reported problem was not confirmed through a visual or functional evaluation, factors that may have contributed to the reported symptom may be associated with an intermittent failure of the drill exposure motor due to the thermo-mechanical stress induced within the motor at the encoder and electrical noise on the console error status inputs to the drill exposure motor encoder.Continuous improvements have been made to the cori robotic drill and manufacturing processes to reduce drill disconnection error messages.These improvements consisted of: 1.A hardware update to the cori console to reduce noise on the internal electronics.2.An update to the cori system¿s software and firmware to improve the user experience when error messages are displayed, and 3.A hardware update to the cori drill to reduce mechanical stress on drill exposure the motor.The first two improvements are fully deployed.The third improvement is being deployed for new orders and as drills are returned for routine servicing.Also, smith+nephew is voluntarily performing a recall/field notification for the cori real intelligence robotic drill.Should any additional information be received the complaint will be reopened.The failure mode will continue to be closely monitored through complaint investigation and trended through post market surveillance activities.H6: component code, type of investigation, investigation findings and investigation conclusions.
