MAUDE Adverse Event Report: INMODE LTD MORPHEUS8; GEI

Model Number AG607401A

Device Problem Adverse Event Without Identified Device or Use Problem (2993)

Patient Problem Peripheral Nervous Injury (4414)

Event Type  Injury  

Manufacturer Narrative

It is likely that the temporary injury to the marginal mandibular nerve was caused during the maneuver of the nerve block administered in the mandibular area near the course of the affected nerve.The actual ability of frf to damage the mandibular nerve are negligible considering the mode of penetration of the needles, the depth of action and the fact that we have never had a similar case, having a history of hundreds of thousands of treatments with m8 investigation conclusions: the administration of a nerve block at the mandibular level would in all likelihood have generated a temporary injury to the marginal mandibular nerve as a neurapraxia.

Event Description

Mandibular nerve palsy on right side post morpheus8 treatment most probably due to the administration of nerve block.
