• MalfunctionFeb 12, 2026Device-Device Incompatibility; Material Deformation

  IT WAS REPORTED THAT DURING A CONDUIT TLIF DEGENERATIVE CASE PERFORMED ON (B)(6) 2026 THE TIP OF THE INSERTION INSTRUMENT BENT DURING INSERTION OF THE CONDUIT TLIF CAGE, MAKING REMOVAL FROM THE IMPLANT DIFFICULT. THE INSTRUMENT WAS DAMAGED AND COULD NOT BE USED IN FUTURE SURGERIES. THE BACKUP INNER SHAFT WAS ALSO BENT, AND THE TIP OF THE OUTER SHAFT WAS DAMAGED DURING THE PROCEDURE. THERE WAS NO CONSEQUENCE TO THE PATIENT, NO DELAY IN SURGERY, AND THE PROCEDURE WAS COMPLETED SUCCESSFULLY WITH THE AFFECTED INSTRUMENT.

  MAUDE report 23907753 ↗
• MalfunctionNov 17, 2025Device-Device Incompatibility; Device-Device Incompatibility

  IT WAS REPORTED THAT THIS WAS AN INTERBODY FUSION (L5/S) FOR LUMBAR DEGENERATIVE DISEASE ON (B)(6) 2025. IN THE SURGERY, DUE TO THE SEVERE DEGENERATION, IT WAS CONFIRMED THAT THE ANGLE FORMED BY THE CRANIOCAUDAL ENDPLATES WAS MISALIGNED WITH THE ANGLE AT WHICH THE INSERTERS IN QUESTION COULD BE INSERTED. THE SURGEON ATTEMPTED TO ROTATE THE IMPLANT, BUT THE MISALIGNMENT MADE IT DIFFICULT. THE SURGEON FINALLY MANAGED TO ROTATE THE IMPLANT BY HAMMERING IT AND PLACED IN THE PROPER POSITION. WHEN THE INSERTER WAS REMOVED FROM THE IMPLANT, ITS TIP WAS DEFORMED. THIS WAS THOUGHT TO BE DUE TO THE TIP DEFORMING TO ACCOMMODATE THE DIFFERENCE IN ANGLE. BECAUSE THE TIP OF THE INNER SHAFT HAD BECOME DEFORMED, IT COULD NO LONGER BE REMOVED FROM THE OUTER SHAFT. THE OPERATION WAS COMPLETED WITHOUT ANY PROBLEMS, AS THE IMPLANT DID NOT BECOME STUCK OR REQUIRE REPLACEMENT. THE SURGERY WAS COMPLETED SUCCESSFULLY WITHIN 30 MINUTES SURGICAL DELAY. THE OUTER SHAFT WAS NOT DAMAGED. HOWEVER, THE INNER SHAFT, WHICH CAN NORMALLY BE PULLED APART, COULD NO LONGER BE REMOVED. NO FURTHER INFORMATION IS AVAILABLE.

• MalfunctionJul 10, 2025Material Deformation; Material Deformation

  IT WAS REPORTED THAT THIS WAS AN UNKNOWN SURGERY PERFORMED ON (B)(6) 2025. IN THE SURGERY, WHEN THE SURGEON ATTEMPTED TO ATTACH THE CONDUIT CURVED CAGE IMPLANT TO THE INSERTER, THE INSERTER WAS NOT TURN AND THE CONDUIT CURVED CAGE IMPLANT COULD NOT BE ATTACHED. THEREFORE, THE SALES REP EXPLAINED THE INSTALLATION PROCEDURE TO THE SURGEON AGAIN, BUT THE SURGEON STILL HAD DIFFICULTY WITH INSTALLATION. HOWEVER, THE SURGEON WAS ABLE TO ATTACH IT, AND THE SALES REP ALSO CHECKED THE CONDITION AND CONFIRMED WITH THE SURGEON THAT THERE WERE NO VISIBLE PROBLEMS AND THAT THERE WAS NO WOBBLING. AFTER PLACING THE IMPLANT, THE SURGEON TRIED TO REMOVE THE INSERTER BUT IT WOULD NOT COME OFF. THE SURGEON HAD EXPERIENCE WITH THE CONDUIT CURVED AND WAS FAMILIAR WITH ITS USE. THE SALES REP ALSO EXPLAINED HOW TO REMOVE IT, BUT THE SURGEON WAS UNABLE TO DO SO SUCCESSFULLY. HOWEVER, AFTER APPLYING MORE FORCE, THE INSERTER WAS ABLE TO BE REMOVED. AFTER SURGERY, IT WAS CONFIRMED THAT THE TIP OF THE INSERTER WAS BENT. THE SURGERY WAS COMPLETED SUCCESSFULLY WITHOUT ANY SURGICAL DELAY. NO FURTHER INFORMATION IS AVAILABLE.

• InjuryMay 20, 2024Device-Device Incompatibility; Device-Device Incompatibility

  IT WAS REPORTED THAT THE PATIENT UNDERWENT A SPINAL FUSION SURGERY ON (B)(6) 2024 FOR A SINGLE-SEGMENTAL MIS TLIF TREATMENT. THE PRE-PREPARED INTERVERTEBRAL DISC SPACE L4-L5 WAS PREPARED WITH AN INTERVERTEBRAL DISC KNIFE TO A HEIGHT OF 11MM. THE INSTRUMENT TECHNICIAN THEN CORRECTLY ASSEMBLED THE CONDUIT IMPLANT HOLDER AND CONNECTED IT TO A CONDUIT TLIF CAGE 9MM/10X28/8°. IT WAS ENSURED THAT THE ROTARY KNOB OF THE IMPLANT HOLDER WAS TURNED CLOCKWISE AS TIGHTLY AS POSSIBLE. THE DOCTOR PLACED THE IMPLANT AT THE ENTRANCE TO THE INTERVERTEBRAL DISC SPACE AND HIT THE IMPLANT KNOB OF THE IMPLANT HOLDER WITH THE HAMMER. THE CONDUIT TLIF CAGE ONLY PENETRATED THE INTERVERTEBRAL DISC SPACE WITH THE "BULLET NOSE" BEFORE THE RIGID CONNECTION BETWEEN THE CAGE AND THE IMPLANT HOLDER BECAME LOOSE AND THE IMPLANT HOLDER SWIVELED 90° INTO THE SPINAL CANAL IN AN UNPLANNED MANNER. DR REMOVED THE IMPLANT HOLDER WITH CAGE WITH A KNOCK-OUT HAMMER AND HAD THE CAGE CONNECTED FROM THE INSTRUMENT ATRINE TO ANOTHER IDENTICAL IMPLANT HOLDER. WITH THIS "NEW" IMPLANT HOLDER, INSERTING THE SAME CONDUIT CAGE WAS POSSIBLE WITHOUT ANY PROBLEMS. WHEN THE CAGE WAS FLIPPED THREE TIMES EARLY, A SENSITIVE ROOT INJURY OCC
