Medtronic received information regarding a navigation system being used during a sacroiliac and thoracolumbar procedure.It was reported that the percutaneous (perc) pin they had for a case was too thick to fit in the receiver of the perc pin frame.After the account used excessive force to get the frame on, they managed to get the frame off but discarded the pin after use and kept the frame holder.The site replaced the pin to continue the case.The manufacturer representative arrived on site to and found a perc pin with the same lot number as the reported perc pin; however, the frame holder fit onto the pin without issue.It was reported that the hospital was testing the pin's j-hook before implanting it on the patient until further notice.There was no impact to patient's outcome and there was no surgical delay time.
