It was reported during a tibial resection the sawblade was floating 4mm off the cut medial surface of the tibia.The checkpoint on the tibia said okay.When the saw was in the tibial cut plane, the surgeon placed the pointer on the sawblade and it said 4.5mm anterior.When placing the pointer on the bone it said the previous cut was 0mm, indicating the arrays did not move.The surgeon recalibrated the sawblade and it then moved to the correct cut plane and the procedure was completed with no delays or impacts to the patient.

This product was reported in error.Depuy is not the manufacturer or supplier of this product.No patient death, serious injury or evidence of reportable product malfunction occurred.Depuy considers the investigation closed at this time.Should any additional information be received to change the outcome of the performed investigation, the complaint will be re-opened.The pec "functional : unintended array motion' was not identified in the complaint event -"the arrays did not move" clearly notes that there was not unintended array movement.The pec "functional : unintended array motion' was not identified in the complaint event -"the arrays did not move" clearly notes that there was not unintended array movement.Both products appear to have been used without complications (no exchanges of products reported)--these are non product issues with respect to these two devices.
