It was reported that during a wrist arthroscopy, after positioning the spider 2 arm across awake patient, the arm was released and instead of locking in place when the foot was removed from the foot pedal, the arm dropped.It did not land on the patient as it was caught by a health care professional.After checking the device, it was found that the arm was locking, but it was taking an extended period of time to do so and appeared to be doing it one joint of the device at a time.The procedure was completed using the same device and a surgical delay less than 30 min was reported.No further complications were reported.
