Pt had reverse total shoulder surgery.Surgery was completed and patient taken to pacu.The instruments for the case were taken to decontamination, where the spd employee washing the instruments noted a piece missing from a pituitary ronguer.Physician responded that he saw the x-ray and the piece of metal; noted shouldn't be a problem now.He plans to re-x-ray at his postop appointment to see if the piece had moved which was determined to be a piece of the pituitary ronguer.The patient was sent home and it appears the small piece left in shoulder should not be a problem but will be monitored on future appointment.Fda safety report id# (b)(4).
