The hospital reported that during the use of the acrobat-i stabilizer (om-10000), they discovered that internal screws had loosened, causing components to fall off and making it impossible to secure them.The issue was resolved by replacing the (om-10000) with a new unit.No harm was caused to the patient, and the surgery proceeded without delay.Per the photo, it shows that the internal parts had become loose.

Tw # (b)(4) updated sections: b4, g3, g6, h2, h3, h6, h11.The device was returned to the factory for evaluation on 02/10/2025, a photograph was provided by the account.A photographic evaluation was conducted.Signs of clinical use and evidence of blood was observed.A metal clip was observed in the photograph.No other visual defects were observed.An investigation was conducted on 02/25/2025.A visual inspection was conducted.Signs of clinical use and evidence of blood was observed.There were no visual defects observed on the intact device.The device was loaded onto a reference retractor with no physical or visual difficulties observed.The device was able to be locked onto the reference retractor.The flexlink arm was able to be adjusted and positioned, and then locked into place by turning the knob clockwise with no physical or visual difficulties, with the locking lever in both the locked and unlocked positions.The metal clip observed in the photograph was not returned for evaluation.Based on the photographic evaluation as well as the evaluation results, the reported failure "break" was not confirmed.A manufacturing engineering evaluation was conducted.Acrobat i stabilizer devices observed to have stop bracket detachment.It was also visually observed that safety crimp location shifting in the slot, where stop bracket should have stayed intact to protect safety crimp residing under the mount and away from the link arm.All three devices were functional in terms of link arm being able to tighten and untighten using the knob.Safety crimp seen here should be placed towards the right and hidden under the housing, and "stop bracket" should be press fitted in this open cavity to secure the safety crimp.Based on the manufacturing engineering evaluation, the reported failure "break" was confirmed.The lot # 3000410868 history record review was completed.There were no ncmrs, rework, or deviations documented for the reported lot number.Based on the dhr/lhr review results, it was determined that there no relation between the batch manufacturing process and the reported failure.
