Event or Problem Description
|
|
Navinetics became aware of a case where the patient was scheduled for awake bilateral dbs lead implantation (stage i) using the navinetics stereotactic system for navigation and instrument delivery, with the ipg/battery implantation (stage ii) to occur five days later.The navinetics skull anchor key was attached to the patient's skull using the tools provided with the system.The physician reported the skull anchor key was secure and the procedure continued.After the leads were placed, an intraoperative x-ray using the provided reticles was taken and the leads appeared on target.The surgical team reported feeling confident the implantation was sufficient (as indicated by adequate intraoperative physiological response from the patient) and therefore the surgical wounds could be closed.A post implant ct scan was taken; the ct fiducial box was noted to be securely attached to the key.The post implant ct scan showed that both dbs leads were >2mm above target but roughly along their trajectory.Due to satisfactory intraoperative physiological response from the patient, the lead placement error was initially attributed to the lead anchoring mechanism and deemed acceptable.The patient was sent to recovery and no adverse effects were observed.After the procedure, it was noted that the screws securing the skull anchor key were easy to remove.Subsequent review of the preoperative and post implant ct scans indicated two of the four screws securing the skull anchor key were no longer seated in the skull at the time of the post implant ct scan.It was reported that the surgical staff later determined the lead placement should be adjusted at the patient's stage ii procedure.At the stage ii procedure, the cranial wounds were reopened and the leads were adjusted appropriately (without the use of stereotactic equipment), the wounds were closed.An additional ct scan confirmed adequate lead adjustment.The patient is reported to be doing well and experiencing no adverse effects from the additional adjustment.The reported malfunction is >2mm performance error, and movement of the skull anchor key screws.While no adverse events were observed in this case, unintended screw movement and potential target inaccuracy exceeding 2mm could pose the risk of serious injury to the patient if the event were to recur.At the time of this report the cause of the malfunction is undetermined.Submission of this report does not constitute an admission of the product, medical personnel, user facility, or manufacturer caused or contributed to this event.
