Additional Manufacturer Narrative
|
|
Additional information received by the manufacturer has identified that this event should be re-evaluated for mdr reporting: the event was reported because there was no back up device available during the procedure, however per communication with the sales representative, it was confirmed that there was a smith and nephew back up device available to complete the procedure succesfully therefore the reassessment determined that the issue does not meet the threshold for reporting and is a non-reportable event.This report was made based upon information which smith & nephew had not been able to investigate or verify prior to the required reporting date.
