The device was returned to orthalign for evaluation.The investigation has been completed by an orthalign engineer.The reutrned instruments, rs, and nav unit passes functional testing without issue.The complaint event was found during reivew of the navigational log.The complaint is confirmend.The root cause can not be determined.It is suspected that the microblock was not sufficiently pinned, allowing the microblock to shift after completion of the femoral maneuver, during removal of the rs/nav units.Orthalign risk documentation addresss the risk ofnot securing the microblock to the femur as a potential user error.Due to its remote nature and low risk profile, no futher actions or mitigation is required.
