Event Description
Device report from synthes europe reports an event in (b)(6) as follows: it was reported that on (b)(6) 2018, balloon kyphoplasty was performed.The surgeon placed the access kit and wanted to perform the balloon through the trocar.This was not possible because the balloon did not go through the lumen of the trocar.Surgeon used a different access kit in the vertebral bodies, and this balloon showed an irregular shape.The surgeon stated that he has never before observed this with synflate devices.The lumen is different in both kits.One of the inner trocars does not fit into the outer trocar; therefore, the balloons could not be placed through the outer trocar.Intraoperatively, it turned out that vertebral bodies were osteoporotic.Needles could be introduced into the bone without hammering.Surgery was completed successfully, with a twenty (20) minute delay.Patient outcome is okay.This report is for a access kit 10 gauge-diamond tip/side-opening-sterile.This is report 4 of 4 for (b)(4).
