Additional Manufacturer Narrative
|
|
Additional information: h6.The reported event could be confirmed based on the provided post op scan.During surgery, a 6mm screw was placed in an area with thinner bone (~2.6mm) than intended, penetrating the cranial vault due to incorrect screw hole positioning that deviated from the approved fossa design mock-up.This issue arose from manual placement challenges in the wax department and ambiguity in screw length recommendations.Conclusively, the event is a manufacturing-related issue.
