It was reported that verse key inserter tightener and verse x25 inserter/tightener were involved in an event.The reported failures included a broken prong at the end of the verse key inserter tightener and worn tips on the verse x25 inserter/tightener, resulting in inability to load correctly and assemble mating devices.The event occurred intraoperatively, causing minimal delay to surgery, but there were no adverse incidents or patient consequences.Additional instruments were used to complete the procedure.
