Event or Problem Description

|
It was reported the university of kansas performed a seeg.After getting a post operation scan, the accuracy was noted to be significantly off.Registration was reported to be acceptable.When checking the post operation merge, it was noted that the frame pins were in a different location, suggesting the patients head slipped in the pins.The trajectories were significantly off at the entry and target points.No negative impact to the patient was reported.No additional information at this time.

This follow-up report is being submitted to relay additional information.Reported event was confirmed by review of software logs.The associated software logs were and analyzed by a subject matter expert.Based on the logs and the electrode measurement analysis performed, the reported electrode placement inaccuracy is confirmed.All electrodes ranged between 3-8mm off their planned entry points and around 3-10mm off their planned target points.The analysis concluded the following: manual bone fiducial registration was performed with the pointer and accurate results were achieved.The registration verification was completed with multiple validation points that exceeded the device specification limit.The logs show the software notified the user that a significant error has been detected on this point for the three verification points that were above the threshold.All the trajectories appear to have been shifted above their respective planned trajectories, towards the top of the patient¿s head.¿ the patient head holder frame pin locations between the pre-op and post-op images were analyzed, and indeed, the back right and left frame pin placements appear to have been shifted.In the sagittal and coronal views, the pre-op pin position is shown to be lower on the patient¿s head compared to the post-op pin placement.Therefore, it is likely a movement between the patient¿s head and head holder frame occurred at some point in between taking the pre-op and post-op images.The cause for this movement cannot be determined with the information available.There were no software anomalies identified which would have caused or contributed to the reported event.Section 4.6.3 accuracy verification procedure of the dbz-041b-us brain application user manual recommends that if too high of an error is detected on a point during the verification process, the user should visually check the point and redo registration, if necessary.In this case, the user chose to validate the high errors and proceed with the case, which is not advised.Additionally, section 2.4.2 accuracy verification procedure of the dbz-041b-us brain application user manual provides adequate instructions on performing verification to obtain optimal system performance.Regarding the target point deviation, the insertion of electrodes is under the surgeon¿s control and can be impacted by factors which are independent from the robot, such as material stiffness, patient¿s anatomy, implantation method, etc.Based on the investigation, the root cause cannot be established with the information available.If any further information is found which would change or alter any conclusions or information, a supplemental will be filed accordingly.Zimmer biomet will continue to monitor for trends.
