Event or Problem Description
On 09-jan-2026, a facility representative reported via (b)(4) that the 0826-000 impactor pad became cold-welded to the 1268-100 130-degree radiolucent targeting arm, and upon removal, the metal fitting inside the targeting arm came out with the impactor pad, rendering both unusable.The damage that was incurred perhaps added 5 minutes onto the case and additional anesthesia, but no direct harm was done to the patient.
