The initial adverse event report was submitted to fda on 12/23/2016.Once the skull clamp in question was received, it was evaluated.The device history record was reviewed and no discrepancies were noted.A mechanical evaluation of the skull clamp was performed and the device was found to be operating within specifications.We were unable to verify the complaint.The fact that the three surgeons verified that all points on the hfd were tight and secure and there was no adverse effect to the patient supports a conclusion that there was no device malfunction.
