    Description of Event or Problem · 0

    DEVICE REPORT FROM SYNTHES REPORTS AN EVENT IN JAPAN AS FOLLOWS: IT WAS REPORTED THAT THE PATIENT UNDERWENT A PERCUTANEOUS VERTEBROPLASTY (T12) FOR A SPINAL FRACTURE ON (B)(6) 2022. AFTER INJECTION OF THE CEMENT, ALTHOUGH THE SURGEON WAITED FOR CONFIRMATION OF THE CEMENT HARDENING AND REMOVED THE CEMENT NEEDLE AND THE WORKING SLEEVE, THE CEMENT CAME WITH IT AND WAS PULLED INTO THE PEDICLE. THERE WAS NO PROBLEM. THE SURGEON COMMENTED THAT THE CEMENT MAY HAVE COME WITH IT BECAUSE THE CEMENT NEEDLE AND THE WORKING SLEEVE WERE PULLED OUT BEFORE CHECKING FOR COMPLETE CEMENT HARDENING. THE SURGERY WAS COMPLETED SUCCESSFULLY WITHOUT ANY DELAY. THE PATIENT STATUS WAS REPORTED TO BE STABLE. NO FURTHER INFORMATION IS AVAILABLE. THIS REPORT INVOLVES ONE VERTECEM V+ CEMENT KIT. THIS IS REPORT 1 OF 1 FOR (B)(4).
