Event Description
|
During final implant impaction, the cup adaptor became loose from the implant and therefore was not able to be used.The surgeon tried with the ref 01.26.10.0162 long straight multifunction handle, but these also became loose from the cup.He believed that the implant thread was damaged and therefore instrument thread would no longer hold it.Then, he removed the cup with the straight cup impactor (ref 01.26.10.0062) and it remained stuck with the implant.He took another cup (same ref, but lot 175392) that was successfully implanted with the first offset handle (coupled with ref 01.15.10.0261) used by the surgeon.No patient harm.

Visual inspection performed by r&d product manager on 14 june 2018.During the analysis it is evaluated that the handle is screwed and blocked inside the cup.We have unscrewed the handle thanks to our production department.We notice that the terminal of the threaded part of the handle is broken and in addition the balint coating is scratched on the handle and it is present on the cup surface too.It seems that the user screwed the cup not completely and this caused the breakage of the threaded part and the block into the cup.
