    THE INCIDENT REPORTED UNDER MDR 3005977257-2016-00003, STATED THAT A FOLLOW UP X-RAY ON A L5-S1 FUSION SURGERY PATIENT SHOWED THAT THE Ø5-7MM SET SCREW (01-80101, LOT# BE08) HAD BACKED OUT OF THE RIGHT INFERIOR (S1) PEDICLE SCREW TULIP (PART#: 02-80081-02 LOT# 8603), A SUB-COMPONENT OF THE PEDICLE SCREW ASSEMBLY (PART#: 01-80169-45R LOT#: 273M). THE SET SCREW WAS FREE FLOATING IN THE SOFT TISSUE. AS A SECOND NOTE THE P-LIFT CAGE USED IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE PEDICLE HAD MIGRATED POSTERIORLY. THIS IS THE FIRST OF 2 OCCURRENCES INVOLVING A SET SCREW BACKING OUT OF A PEDICLE SCREW ASSEMBLY IN THE SAME PATIENT, THE OTHER OCCURRENCE WAS REPORTED UNDER MDR #: 3005977257-2016-00004. BASED ON THE KNOWN FACTORS OF THE SURGICAL EVENT, THE SURGERY WAS PERFORMED IN COMPLIANCE WITH SPINEFRONTIER'S SURGICAL TECHNIQUES AND IFU. THE PEDICLE SCREW ASSEMBLY PART # 01-80169-45R LOT# 273M, INSPECTION DATA SHOWS THAT ALL PARTS OF THE ASSEMBLY CONFORM TO THE DRAWINGS AND ALL PARTS FROM THE CONSTRUCT PASSED FUNCTIONAL FIT CHECKS. THE RISK MANAGEMENT FILES ASSOCIATED WITH THE DEVICE IDENTIFIES THAT THIS FAILURE MODE HAD BEEN ANALYZED AND WAS RATED ALARP WITH AN OCCASIONAL OCCURRENCE, WHICH IS IN LINE WITH WHAT HAS OCCURRED. SPINEFRONTIER MITIGATED THE RISK AS LOW AS REASONABLY POSSIBLE AND ALL OF THE SUPPORTING MITIGATIONS WERE IN PLACE AND SUFFICIENT. IN CONCLUSION, THIS IS AN EVENT THAT MAY HAPPEN WITH AN OCCASIONAL OCCURRENCE AND DOES NOT WARRANT ANY FURTHER ACTION. THE Ø5-7MM SET SCREW (01-80101, LOT# BE08) THE OTHER COMPONENT WAS REPORTED UNDER MDR #: 3005977257-2016-00005.
