Description of Event or Problem · 1

ONE OF THE SMALL JAWS LOCATED AT THE END OF THE GRASPER FELL OFF DURING SURGERY. IT WAS IMMEDIATELY REMOVED. IT APPEARS AS TO HAVE HAD A SMALL MICROSCOPIC FRACTURE THAT CAUSED THE BREAK. BIOMED AND RISK ASSESSED THE DEVICE. THE HANDLE WORKED APPROPRIATELY BY OPENING AND CLOSING THE JAWS. I DO NOT HAVE THE DEVICE IN OUR LOCK UP SO I AM UNABLE TO DETERMINE IF IT WAS SENT BACK TO THE MANUFACTURER.
