Event or Problem Description
It was reported that during an unknown surgery on (b)(6) 2019, a holding sleeve with locking device was jammed, and it would not release to grasp the screw head.The mechanism had a spring and bearings inside.The spring was supposed to collapse the jaws of the holding sleeve over the screw head.The holding sleeve was stuck in the open position.The sales rep managed to free the sleeve after the case and was able to make it work but it subsequently jammed again.The surgeon figured out another solution in which a vicryl suture was tied to the screw when it was inserted through the fat and skin through a small incision.This method was used as a fail-safe retrieval of the screw in case something goes wrong during insertion.There was a surgical delay of 10 minutes.The procedure was completed with no adverse consequences.Concomitant device reported: unknown screw (part# unknown, lot# unknown, quantity unknown).This is report 1 for 1 (b)(4).
