    Additional Manufacturer Narrative · 1

    A SITE REPRESENTATIVE REPORTED THAT, WHILE IN A SPINAL FUSION PROCEDURE, THE 3D SPIN STOPPED MIDWAY. THEY BACKED OUT, RE-SHOT THE AP AND LATERAL SHOTS AND WERE ABLE TO SUCCESSFULLY COMPLETE THE 3D SPIN. THERE WAS A REPORTED DELAY TO THE PROCEDURE OF LESS THAN 1 HOUR DUE TO THIS ISSUE. THERE WAS NO IMPACT ON PATIENT OUTCOME. ONSITE INVESTIGATION WAS PREFORMED, AND THE FIELD SYSTEMS ENGINEER WAS UNABLE TO REPLICATE THE ISSUE AS SYSTEM FUNCTIONED AS EXPECTED AND WITHOUT PROBLEMS. A FULL IMAGING SYSTEM CHECK-OUT WAS COMPLETED AND ALL TESTS PASSED. FULL SYSTEM FUNCTIONALITY WAS CONFIRMED AND THE SYSTEM WAS RETURNED TO SERVICE. THIS EVENT WAS IDENTIFIED DURING A RETROSPECTIVE REVIEW AS DISCUSSED WITH THE (B)(6) DISTRICT OFFICE ON APRIL 7, 2016 VIA MEDTRONIC NAVIGATION, INC. RESPONSE TO 3/17/2016 FDA-483 (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.
