IT WAS REPORTED THAT THE ABS-1000-S DELIVERY SYSTEM DID NOT INCLUDE THE FOAM TIP APPLICATORS. SURGEON USED COTTON APPLICATORS THAT LEFT RESIDUE IN THE JOINT AND DID NOT PROPERLY DRY THE SURFACE FOR PROPER CONTACT. THE COTTON APPLICATORS ALSO BROKE IN THE JOINT BECAUSE THEY WERE FLIMSY, AND NOT WHAT THE SURGEON EXPECTED TO USE. THE PROCEDURE WAS COMPLETED.
