Event or Problem Description
|
|
It was reported that on (b)(6) 2019, the surgeon had a 2 level prodisc-l and was having trouble getting the polyethylene inlays to go into the implanted endplates during an unknown procedure.The surgeon thought the angle of the access might be putting pressure on the inserter causing the problems.However, the surgeon tried a couple of different poly inlays and changed out the endplates trying to find a resolution.After several attempts the surgeon put the implants together on the back table and inserted it as one piece.After the case, surgeon played with the inserter and a demo implant and couldn't find anything apparently wrong with the instrumentation.It was unknown if there was surgical delay.Surgical procedure outcome and patient outcome were unknown.Concomitant device reported: unknown inserter (part# unknown, lot# unknown, quantity 1).This report is for one (1) polyethylene inlay w/tantalum marker/large-10mm-sterile.This is report 4 of 7 for complaint (b)(4).
