Event or Problem Description
On (b)(6) 2024, it was reported by a sales representative via (b)(4) that an ar-2260 distal biceps repair implant system had sutures that would not slide into the button.The rep believes they may have been caught on the button.There were no adverse effects on the patient or delay in the case and no photos taken.The case was completed by opening another ar-2260 kit and used its button.This was discovered during a distal bicep repair procedure on (b)(6) 2024, with no reported patient harm.
Additional Manufacturer Narrative
Additional information: g3, h3, h6.Based on the information provided, which may include the device (if available and returned), pictures, videos, event description, and any additional information from the field, arthrex was able to conclude a most likely cause.The most likely cause for the reported failure can be attributed to misaligned insertion, prying/leveraging the button and thus causing the sutures to get caught on it.
