Correction: d4.Primary udi: (b)(4).D9.Yes, returned to manufacturer 02/24/2025.H3.Yes.H6.Type of investigation: 10, 3331, 4112.Investigation findings: 3253.Investigation conclusions: 4301.Additional information: d4.Lot #: ap02839.H4.11/01/2024.Device evaluation: the explant was received in a partially open state.No physical damage to implant components was observed aside from minor wear on surfaces intended to slide past each other during implantation and expansion.Some foreign matter (possibly graft material left over from cleaning) was lodged within the internal cage components preventing it from fully expanding or collapsing.After removing the foreign material, the implant was easily able to be actuated open and closed with very little torque applied to the drive screw via a t15 driver.The spacer collapsed after being implanted and expanded then migrated from the disk space in which it was placed.The root cause is likely not enough frictional drag between internal drive screw threads and the external center post threads.Review of device history records showed no manufacturing or processing related irregularities.Labeling review: warnings/cautions/precautions: potential risks identified with the use of these fusion devices, which may require additional surgery, include device component failure, loss of fixation, pseudarthrosis (i.E., non-union), fracture of the vertebra, neurological injury, and/or vascular or visceral injury possible adverse effects: initial or delayed loosening, bending, dislocation, and/or breakage of device components.Postoperative management the surgeon should instruct the patient regarding the amount and time frame after surgery of any weight bearing activity.The increased risk of bending, dislocation, and/or breakage of the implanted devices, as well as an undesired surgical result are consequences of any type of early or excessive weight bearing, vibratory motion, falls, jolts, or other movements preventing proper healing and/or fusion development.Implanted devices should be revised or removed if bent, dislocated, or broken.Immobilization should be considered in order to prevent bending, dislocation, or breakage of the implanted device in case of delayed, malunion, or nonunion of bone.Immobilization should continue until a complete bone fusion mass has developed and been confirmed.
