    Description of Event or Problem · 1

    WHEN IMPLANTING A POLARUS 3 HUMERAL NAIL, THE SURGEON EXPERIENCED THE FOLLOWING ISSUES WITH THE INSTRUMENTATION FOR THE PRODUCT. THIS CAUSED A 2 HOUR DELAY IN SURGERY TIME. THE SHORT DRILL IS TOO LONG. (P/N 80-1592). THE T15 DRIVER TIP DOES NOT HOLD THE SCREWS SECURELY, ALLOWING THEM TO POP OFF DURING CRUCIAL IMPLANTATION (P/N 80-1618). THERE IS NO SOFT TISSUE PROTECTOR FOR THE DISTAL DRILL GUIDE. (P/N 80-1587).
