Correction: h3.Yes.H6.Investigation findings: 3251.Investigation conclusion: 61.Device evaluation: visual inspection confirms that the arm component has fractured.The distal fractured piece was not returned for investigation.The arm of the inserter is a subcomponent which features an ipsilateral prong that attaches to the interbody spacer for insertion.This type of damage occurs when force is applied during impaction/insertion of the interbody spacer causing the distal arm to detach from the shaft.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, pseudoarthrosis (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.
