The lantern navigation unit was returned for investigation, along with the lantern reference sensor, balance tibial paddle, balance femoral paddle, and torque driver.The navigation logs were downloaded and the reported numbers of 7mm extension and 18mm flexion were confirmed.The returned parts were tested individually and as a system.They passed all testing, including accuracy testing.The complaint is not confirmed and there is no indication that the returned devices contributed to system inaccuracy.The root cause was also unable to be determined.A possible root cause is the user misinterpreted the summary angles displayed.
