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
As reported: "mics handpiece failed causing cuts to be inaccurate after passing verification.This caused surgeon to cement the knee instead of pressfit." update 12/november/2019: as reported by the mps "when dr.Was trailing the femur component the cuts did not match up with the femur trial.Confirmed correct size.The patient had unusually hard bone so we decided to put the robot back in to go over all the cuts again to rule out blade skiving.When the surgeon put the green probe to the saw blade it was reading about 2.8mm off.I examined the vizi discs and saw attachment and found everything in order.I then tightened the robot base array and instructed the scrub tech to re-register the robot.We where able to pass building the box but verification failed two times in a row.There was no plastic under the mics that i could see.I instructed the surgeon that the robot is down and the only fix would be to get a new mics.He did not want to wait that long so he decided to clean the cuts as best he could with a manual saw and cement the components in.The original plan was to press fit.As the surgeon was working i placed the robot behind the operating table and tried to trouble shoot the mics registration myself.I had the same results as the scrub tech did.Upon disassembling the mics i found that an internal screw where the attachments go into had sheered off.The entire front of the mics also felt a bit loose.I documented this with a picture.A full investigation has been requested and session files and anonymous patient plan will be uploaded to the share drive per protocol.My assessment is that during the distal femur cut and/or the posterior chamfer cuts the mics broke without us knowing causing the cuts to be off." a surgical delay of over 30 minutes was reported.
