    DEVICE REPORT FROM SYNTHES (B)(4) REPORTS AN EVENT IN (B)(6) AS FOLLOWS: DURING A T-PAL SURGERY ON (B)(6) 2013, THE T-PAL TRIAL IMPLANT TURNED BEFORE THE KNOB ON THE APPLICATOR WAS OPENED. WHEN THE SURGEON CONTROLLED THE KNOB IT WAS TURNED TO OPEN. THE PLACEMENT OF THE TRIAL IMPLANT WAS CORRECT. THEY USED A DIFFERENT APPLICATOR FOR THE IMPLANT AND THIS WORKED WITHOUT ANY PROBLEMS. WHEN TURNING THE KNOB IT FEELS A LITTLE SLOW ON THE THREADS, AND TAKES MORE POWER TO TIGHTEN. THIS IS REPORT 3 OF 3 FOR COMPLAINT (B)(4).
