MAUDE report 24600279 ↗MalfunctionMay 7, 2024Connection Problem; Connection Problem
IT WAS REPORTED THAT DURING CORI ASSISTED TKA SURGERY, THE CORI KNEE TENSIONER FAILED TO RECORD DATA WHEN TENSIONING THE JOINT. AT THE START OF THE CASE WHEN SETTING UP THE TENSIONER, THE TENSIONER CABLE WAS CONNECTED TO THE CORI, HOWEVER THE RE-USABLE COMPONENT HAD NOT BEEN CONNECTED TO THE CARTRIDGE BY THE NURSE YET. AFTER THE NURSE CONNECTED THE CARTRIDGE TO THE TENSIONER, A RECOLLECT ERROR CAME UP WHEN TRYING TO SET UP THE TENSIONER. THE TENSIONER WAS THEN DISCONNECTED FROM THE CORI UNIT AND FROM THE RE-USABLE COMPONENT AND RE-CONNECTED TO COLLECT THE STEP UP AGAIN, ANOTHER RE-CONNECT ERROR CAME UP. THE TENSIONER WAS UNPLUGGED AND REPLUGGED AGAIN AND ANOTHER ATTEMPT WAS MADE, THIS TIME THE SETUP COLLECTED AS NORMAL. HOWEVER, WHEN IT CAME TO USE THE TENSIONER IN THE JOINT, DR. PARKER REPORTED THE HE WAS SQUEEZING THE TENSIONER HOWEVER NOTHING WAS BEING COLLECTED ON THE SCREEN. THE DEVICE WAS UNPLUGGED AND REPLUGGED, THIS DID NOT SOLVE THE ISSUE.
