    Description of Event or Problem · 1

    REFLECTIVE STERILE SPHERES FAILED TO TRACK DURING A PROCEDURE. ANOTHER SET OF STERILE SPHERES WERE USED TO COMPLETE THE PROCEDURE. THIS ISSUE WAS COMMUNICATED BY MEDTRONIC NAVIGATION. SPHERES WERE NOT RETURNED AS THE DEVICE WAS USED IN A PROCEDURE AND CONSIDERED A BIOHAZARD. DECONTAMINATION OF SPHERE WOULD RENDER INVESTIGATION IMPOSSIBLE. SITE/USER DID NOT TAKE PICTURES OF SPHERE. THEREFORE, NO INVESTIGATION OR ANALYSIS COULD BE PERFORMED. CONTRACT MFR IS STILL EVALUATING DHR BASED ON LOT NUMBER FOR ANY QUALITY ISSUES. NO SERIOUS IMPLICATIONS TO THIS ISSUE WERE MENTIONED BY THE COMPLAINANT. NO PT WAS HARMED AND NO SERIOUS INJURY OCCURRED.
