Additional Manufacturer Narrative

|
Method: labelling review, risk assessment.Result: the customer reported event was confirmed via x-ray by doctor and correspondence.No lot # was provided and cage was discarded, so a manufacturing record review could not be performed.Conclusion: the root cause of the reported event is likely due to lack of enough tightness during supplemental fixation system installation.
