    Narratives

    Additional Manufacturer Narrative · 1

    NO PATIENT INFORMATION PROVIDED AS NO PATIENT WAS INVOLVED IN THIS CONCERN. A MEDTRONIC REPRESENTATIVE REPORTED THAT INITIALIZING THE COLLIMATOR FAILED. NO PATIENT WAS PRESENT DURING THE TIME OF THE REPORTED INCIDENT. AN ONSITE INSPECTION WAS SCHEDULED FOR A LATER DATE. DURING THE ONSITE INSPECTION, IT WAS SUSPECTED THAT THE LEAD COLUMN FILTER WAS STUCK. THE MEDTRONIC REPRESENTATIVE LOOSENED THE BOLT SO THAT THE LEAD COLUMN COULD INITIALIZE. A SUCCESSFUL SYSTEM CHECKOUT WAS PERFORMED WHICH VERIFIED THAT THE ISSUE HAD BEEN RESOLVED. THIS EVENT WAS IDENTIFIED DURING A RETROSPECTIVE REVIEW AS DISCUSSED WITH THE FDA NEW ENGLAND DISTRICT OFFICE ON APRIL 7, 2016 VIA MEDTRONIC NAVIGATION, INC. RESPONSE TO (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 REPORTED MALFUNCTION WAS NOT PREVIOUSLY ASSOCIATED WITH SERIOUS INJURIES. SIMILAR MALFUNCTIONS THAT HAD RESULTED IN SIGNIFICANT DELAYS OF SURGERY OR REQUIRED ADDITIONAL INTERVENTION HAD BEEN REPORTED AS MDR SERIOUS INJURIES. BASED ON THIS 483 OBSERVATION, THE REPORTING DETERMINATION HAS BEEN REVISED TO CONSIDER THESE MALFUNCTION EVENTS REPORTABLE. 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.
