Additional Manufacturer Narrative
Based on further investigation and review of the new information received the reportability decision was revised to non-reportable, as the reported malfunction have not caused or contributed to death or serious injury.The review of the risk documentation and the reported information regarding this event do not suggest a recurrence of this event would result in a death or serious injury.The surgery was completed successfully without any patient or end user impact.Investigation results have revealed that the root cause was attributed to an isolated manufacturing error.A nonconformance was initiated to further address the issue.The current operative technique was reviewed and states: "the surgeon can choose to revert back to the traditional inbone® foot holder surgical technique if there are any concerns with the planned resection, therefore such procedure can still be completed without the use of the patient specific guides.Product surveillance will continue to monitor complaints of this type for adverse trends.
