Event or Problem Description
|
|
On 06/04/2025, a sales representative reported via email an issue involving an ar-2923ps peek pushlock sl anchor.The anchor had been loaded with two tails of # 2 fiberwire, which were passed around the labrum.After a pilot hole was drilled using the ar-1926ds drill and guide, both instruments were removed, and the anchor was inserted through a gemini cannula in the anteroinferior portal.As the pushlock was advanced into the joint, tension was applied to approximate the labral tissue to the eyelet.While releasing the suture tails, the driver was gently malleted to advance it into the bone socket, at which point the eyelet broke off the tip of the pushlock, rendering the implant unusable.The case was delayed by approximately 5 minutes while troubleshooting the anchor and additional devices before switching to fibertak anchors to complete the procedure.This was discovered during a procedure on (b)(6) 2025.
