A dhr review could not be performed due to the lot number of the device not being available.A system cervical plate implant screw may back out of the intended location if the locking tab of the cervical plate did not effectively retain the implant screw.It may be possible for a system cervical plate locking tab to not effectively retain the implant screw if it were fractured.The screw locking mechanisms on the system cervical plate are intended to retain the implant screws into patient bone after final placement.If the screw locking mechanisms were somehow fractured, it may be possible for the implant screws to back out of the intended position.It could be possible for the screw locking mechanisms of a system cervical plate to fracture if excessive force was present between the implant screw and locking mechanism interface.Excessive force at the interface may be possible if the implant screw was angled outside of recommendation or not fully seated within the system cervical plate.The root cause of this complaint cannot be reliably determined.There have been five other complaints of similar nature for this device in the past 12 months.The manufacturer will continue to monitor this product family for complaints from the field.
