    Additional Manufacturer Narrative · 1

    NO PATIENT INFORMATION PROVIDED AS NO PATIENT WAS INVOLVED IN THIS CONCERN. A MEDTRONIC REPRESENTATIVE REPORTED THAT THE IMAGE ACQUISITION SYSTEM (IAS) COMPUTER WAS NOT RESPONDING. NO PATIENT WAS PRESENT DURING THE TIME OF THE REPORTED INCIDENT. AN ONSITE INSPECTION WAS SCHEDULED FOR A LATER DATE. DURING THE ONSITE INSPECTION, THE MEDTRONIC REPRESENTATIVE REPORTED THAT THE ISSUE WAS DUE TO SHORTED FUSES AND A FAULTY IMAGING SYSTEM COMPUTER. THE FUSES AND COMPUTER WERE REPLACED. THE REPLACED COMPUTER WAS SENT TO THE MANUFACTURER FOR PART ANALYSIS. A SUCCESSFUL SYSTEM CHECKOUT WAS PERFORMED WHICH VERIFIED THAT THE ISSUE HAD BEEN RESOLVED. DURING PART ANALYSIS THERE WAS A CONFIRMED ELECTRICAL FAILURE WITH THE COMPUTER. THIS EVENT WAS IDENTIFIED DURING A RETROSPECTIVE REVIEW AS DISCUSSED WITH THE FDA (B)(4) OFFICE ON APRIL 7, 2016 VIA MEDTRONIC NAVIGATION, INC. RESPONSE TO 3/17/2016 FDA-483 FEI: (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.
