Event Description
|
I¿m just with the surgeon at the (b)(6) and he has made a design complaint about the newly launched calcar reamer.This isn¿t specific to this lot number but more a design issue in general.Due to the modular nature of the system,when the handle (d257004500) is screwed onto the end piece (d257004501).The end of the thread protrudes by 1-2mm which means it¿s impossible to get a totally flush cut with the top of the broach.The surgeon feels this has potential for issues with allowing the collar to sit flush with the neck cut for why it¿s designed.This complaint was made today whilst i was in theatre with him.I¿ve attached a picture for your reference.Code: d257004500, lot so2034182 d257004501 lot pg272845, (b)(4).This is a general complaint and doesn¿t involve one particular patient or increased operating time but we would like it registered as a potential design error.
