    Description of Event or Problem · 1

    THIS IS THE FIRST REPORT OF TWO CONCERNING THE SAME PT SURGERY, THIS REPORT CONCERNS A MALIBU SCREW DRIVER 8.0+ LOT #W144302B. IT WAS REPORTED DURING A L4-ILLIUM POSTERIOR FUSION, THE SURGEON HAD ISSUES WITH TWO 8.0 MALIBU DRIVERS ((B)(4)). WHILE THE SURGEON INSERTED THE ILIAC SCREWS, IT WAS UNCLEAR AS TO WHETHER THE DRIVER TIPS SHEARED OFF, OR THE TIPS STRIPPED, BUT ONE OF THOSE FAILURE MODES CAUSED BOTH DRIVERS TO NO LONGER FUNCTION CORRECTLY. THE SURGEON REMOVED THE FIRST DRIVER AFTER IT FAILED AND USED THE SECOND DRIVER WHICH ALSO FAILED. THE SYSTEM ONLY CONTAINS TWO DRIVERS AND THERE WAS NOT ANOTHER CLEAN, STERILIZED DRIVER AVAILABLE FOR THE CASE. THIS RESULTED IN A TOTAL DELAY OF APPROX 5 MINUTES AND CAUSED THE SURGEON TO HAVE TO LEAVE THE SCREW HEAD A LITTLE MORE PROUD (<=1MM) THAN HE WOULD NORMALLY PREFER. THERE WAS NO REPORTED INJURY OR ADVERSE CONSEQUENCES TO THE PT.
