Additional Manufacturer Narrative
The surgical issue questionnaire was reviewed for potential causes of the reported issue.Based on this review, implanting the device off-label, not performing an x-ray immediately after the procedure to confirm device placement, inadequate fixation, the patient having recently gone through an mri, implanting the device after the expiration date, not prepping the surface of the skin with an antiseptic solution, using incorrect tools, and not prescribing antibiotics pre-operatively have been ruled out.Other potential causes of the reported issue include severe force applied to the implant and excessive twisting or stretching.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 unknown.The investigation findings do not lead to a clear conclusion about the cause of the reported issue.Therefore, conclusion has been selected as unable to determine root cause.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.
