    IT WAS REPORTED THAT, ON AN UNKNOWN DATE, THE HANDLE FOR TRIAL IMPLANTS WAS BINDING AND STICKING PREOPERATIVELY AS THE SURGICAL TECHNICIAN WAS ATTEMPTING TO LOAD A PRODISC C TRIAL ONTO THE T-HANDLE. THE T-HANDLE WAS NOT GRASPING OR HOLDING THE PRODISC C TRIAL PROPERLY. THE T-HANDLE WAS REMOVED FROM THE ROOM PRIOR TO THE INITIATION OF THE CASE. TESTING BY CENTINEL SPINE FOUND THAT VARIOUS PRODISC C TRIALS FIT ONTO THE TRIAL HANDLE WHILE OTHERS THEY TESTED DID NOT. THERE WAS NO APPARENT PATTERN IN PART OR LOT NUMBERS. INSPECTION OF THE 4 MILLIMETER CONNECTION SHOWS A SMALL AREA THAT MAY BE DAMAGED, WHICH DECREASED THE COUNTER BORE IDENTIFICATION (ID). TRIALS WITH THE CONNECTOR ON THE UPPER END OF THE TOLERANCE BAND MAY NOT FIT INTO THIS CONNECTION. THERE WAS NO PATIENT INVOLVEMENT AND NO PATIENT HARM. CONCOMITANT DEVICES REPORTED: UNKNOWN PRODISC C TRIAL (PART #: UNKNOWN, LOT: UNKNOWN, QUANTITY: UNKNOWN). THIS IS REPORT 1 OF 1 FOR (B)(4).
