Manufacturer Narrative

As part of the normal complaint follow-up, an evaluation of the event has been initiated by mako surgical.A supplemental report will be submitted when additional information becomes available.

Event Description

During a bilateral mpka 3.0 case the burr guard became defective.While starting to burr the posterior aspect of the femur; a circular piece of the epoxy lining from the burr guard came out into the patient.When examining the burr guard it looked to be slightly smoking from what we anticipated as heat/ the epoxy getting worked out.I explained to the doctor what this was and where it was coming from along with our options.I also stressed while using this same assembly the importance of thoroughly flushing out the knee.We finished the case with the burr guard and original assembly.For the right knee, a new burr guard and rotary attachment were opened and the same burr was used.There were no issues with this burr guard or assembly on the right leg.Clinically the only difference noted between sides and the issue was when burring the posterior aspect of the lt leg there were slight patches of red from the proximal burr hitting the femur as we burred the most posterior aspect of the femur.The right side we flexed up more and this red was not noticed.Was there any harm to the patient or user: potential for burr guard epoxy remanence being left behind.Case type: pka 3.0.
