    Additional Manufacturer Narrative · 1

    A MEDTRONIC REPRESENTATIVE VISITED THE SITE TO EXAMINE THE MEDTRONIC IMAGING SYSTEM, RESULTING IN THE DECISION TO RETRIEVE LOG FILES AND RETURN THEM TO THE MANUFACTURER FOR ANALYSIS SINCE THE ORIGINAL ISSUE COULD NOT BE REPLICATED IN SITU. AFTER OFFLOADING THE FILES, THE REPRESENTATIVE PERFORMED AN IMAGING SYSTEM CHECK-OUT AND TESTED AREAS PASSED. SYSTEM PERFORMED AS INTENDED. THE SOFTWARE INVESTIGATION FOUND THAT THE REPORTED EVENT WAS RELATED TO A SOFTWARE ISSUE. THIS ISSUE WAS DOCUMENTED IN A MEDTRONIC NAVIGATION SOFTWARE ANOMALY TRACKING DATABASE. THIS EVENT WAS IDENTIFIED DURING A RETROSPECTIVE REVIEW AS DISCUSSED WITH THE FDA (B)(4) DISTRICT OFFICE ON APRIL 7, 2016 VIA MEDTRONIC NAVIGATION, INC. RESPONSE TO 3/17/2016 (B)(4). THIS REVIEW WAS PERFORMED AS A RESULT OF RECENT CHANGES/IMPROVEMENTS TO THE MEDTRONIC NAVIGATION, INC. MEDICAL DEVICE REPORT (MDR) REVIEW PROCESS AND IS FOR NON-ADVERSE EVENT REPORTABLE MALFUNCTIONS WITHIN THE LAST TWO YEARS WHERE THE USE OF THE O-ARM IMAGING SYSTEM WAS ABORTED. THIS PROCESS CHANGE RESULTED IN AN OVERALL INCREASE IN THE NUMBER OF MDRS FILED BY MEDTRONIC NAVIGATION, INC., SINCE APRIL 2016. IT SHOULD BE NOTED THAT THIS INCREASE IS NOT THE RESULT OF THE DISCOVERY OF NEW PRODUCT PROBLEMS, BUT RATHER THE RESULT OF A BROADER INTERPRETATION AND APPLICATION OF THE REGULATIONS WITHIN OUR PROCESSES.
