Event or Problem Description
|
|
Information was received from a healthcare professional via manufacturer representative regarding a cage used in acdf therapy for hernia.It was reported that the cage screw hole was broken.It was suspected that the cage was inserted in the wrong direction, and the cage was inserted into a place where it could not be inserted.The cage came loose from the inserter, and its screw hole got broken because the cage was inserted in that state.A new cage was opened and inserted by adding distraction between the vertebrae (there were no problems with the same inserter).It was reported that there was user error.No fragments of the implant seem to be left visibly in the patient.There was a delay of less than 60 mins.Patient symptoms are unknown.No further complications were reported/anticipated.
