    ON FEBRUARY 25, 2021 OSTEOMED WAS NOTIFIED THAT, DURING AN IMPLANT OF A 1.6MM, 3 X 8 HOLES, "Y" PLATE (PART 333-1603/LOT 1145750) TWO (2) OF THE FOUR (4) SCREWS USED DID NOT LOCK IN THE PLATE. THESE 2 SCREWS WERE IDENTIFIED AS 1.6MM X 14MM FULL THREADED SCREW, LOCKING (PART 330-1614/LOT 1141838) AND 1.6MM X 16MM FULL THREADED SCREW, LOCKING (PART 330-1616 /LOT 1130797). THE IMPLANT AND EXPLANT OCCUR ON (B)(6) 2021, DURING THE SAME SURGERY. ON MARCH 02, 2021, OSTEOMED WAS NOTIFIED THAT, THE SURGERY WAS PROLONGED FOR ONE HOUR AND THE PATIENT HAD NO CONSEQUENCES OR IMPACT. PER THE REPORTER: "DURING THE PROCEDURE, THE SPECIALIST ASKS ME FOR A HPS 1.6 AV BLOCK Y PLATE WITH 11 HOLES (REF. 333-1603, BATCH 1145750) FROM SET 0056. THE SPECIALIST ASKED ME TO CUT IT AND I LEFT IT WITH 4 HOLES IN THE BRANCH. AFTER, PLACING THE PLATE ON THE BONE THE SPECIALIST FIXES IT WITH A STANDARD CRUCIFORM 1.6X10MM HPS SCREW (REF. 331-1610, BATCH. 1148546) AND A 1.6X8MM AV HPS LOCKED SCREW (REF. 330-1608, LOT. 1141744), ON THE BRANCH. THEN, HE ASK ME FOR A DRILL TO DRILL THE PROXIMAL HOLE OF THE Y-PLATE. THE SPECIALIST MEASURES AND ASKS ME FOR A 1.6X14MM AV. HPS LOCKED SCREW, (REF. 330-1614, BATCH 1141838). DURING PLACEMENT, WHEN THE DOCTOR IS BLOCKING THE SCREW, IT CONTINUES THROUGH THE HOLE IN THE PLATE AND REACHES THE BONE. THE SPECIALIST REMOVES THE SCREW AND THE PLATE AND ASKS ME TO VERIFY THE IMPLANT SINCE THE SCREW SHOULD LOCK IN THE PLATE. I PERFORM THE INSPECTION OF THE PLATE AND THE LOCKING. THE SPECIALIST DECIDES TO REPOSITION THE SCREW ON THE PLATE, PERFORMS DISTAL FIXATION AND REQUESTS A 1.6X16MM AV HPS LOCKED SCREW (REF. 330-1616, LOT. 1130797) FOR THE FIXATION IN THE HOLE ALREADY MENTIONED. DURING THE LOCKING OF THE SCREW IT CONTINUES TO THE BONE, AGAIN. THE DOCTOR REMOVES THE IMPLANTED PLATE AND SCREWS AND PERFORMS REDUCTION OF THE FRACTURE WITH NAILS. THE DOCTOR ASKS ME TO REPORT THIS EVENT SINCE IT IS NOT NORMAL FOR THIS TO HAPPEN WITH THE IMPLANT." THE FOLLOWING IMPLANTS (PLATE AND SCREWS) WERE INVOLVED WITH THIS INCIDENT: 333-1603, LOT 1145750, 330-1614, LOT 1141838, 330-1616, LOT. 1130797.
