Additional Manufacturer Narrative
|
|
A review of the device history record was conducted and found no ncmr's, deviations, or anomalies.Complaint trending showed that the rate of complaints remains within acceptable limits.A review of the risk assessment found that the risks associated with the complaint are identified and mitigated to a level where the benefits outweigh the risks.A device evaluation could not be completed as there was no indication the hospital released the implant.The complaint investigation did not identify a cause for the implant migration which led to the removal surgery.Based on the surgeon's comments, there was no malfunction of the device and the patient's symptoms of radiculopathy and kyphosis were likely caused by the implant's posterior migration following the initial implantation surgery.There was no indication from the post-operative x-rays after the initial implantation surgery that the implant placement was incorrect or there was any anomalies with the patient's bony anatomy which may have contributed to the migration.This submission is 1 of 1 devices involved in this event.
