Additional Manufacturer Narrative
The surgical issue questionnaire was reviewed for potential causes of the reported issue.Based on this review, implanting the device after the expiration date, improperly closing the surgical site, and using incorrect tools have been ruled out.Additionally, the patient having contraindicating conditions and severe force to the implant procedure have been ruled out.However, the patient scratched the incision due to itching, which caused the wound to open up and became infected.A curonix representative conducted a review of sterilization and packaging records for the respective product lot; curonix has confirmed that the product was delivered sterile, validated sterilization parameters were used, and sterile barriers were verified to be intact following packaging.The stimulator is used to treat pain.The cause of the reported issue is due to patient non-compliance as the patient scratched the incision (user error-patient).Rates reviewed at the most recent complaint trending meeting do not indicate a significant increase in surgical issues.Surgical issue rates remain acceptably low; thus, a capa is not required at this time.Surgical issue rates will continue to be tracked and trended.
