  IT WAS REPORTED THAT AN INCIDENT OCCURRED DURING A GRAFT HARVESTING PROCEDURE VIA THE RIA2 SYSTEM. THE APPROACH PROCEDURE WAS PROPERLY FOLLOWED, WITH THE RIA INSERTED ALMOST IN THE AXIS OF THE FEMORAL SHAFT. THE PROBLEM OCCURRED DURING THE FIRST DRILLING WITH THE SMALLEST DIAMETER 10MM DRILL HEAD. THE DIAMETER OF THE BARREL WAS AT LEAST 10.5MM SO THERE WAS NO PROBLEM ACCESSING THE RIA. IT IS DURING THE REMOVAL OF THIS HEAD THE FINS BROKE INSIDE THE PATIENT, A SHORT DISTANCES FROM THE FEMORAL NECK, REQUIRING THE SURGEON TO USE LAPAROSCOPIC FORCEPS TO RECOVER THE PIECES. THE SURGERY WAS DELAYED BY ABOUT HALF AN HOUR. IT WAS ALSO NOTICED SHRINKAGE OF THE OUTER PLASTIC AT THE END OF THE RIA REQUIRING TO USE A SECOND RIA2. THE REST OF THE PROCEDURE WAS CONSISTENT WITH USAGE AND RECOVERED 60CC OF QUALITY GRAFT.

  DURING SURGERY THE RIA SYSTEM HOSE PRESENTS FAILURES SINCE THE TIP WHERE THE HOSE CONNECTS TO THE RAMER BREAKS CAUSING IT TO STOP WORKING PROPERLY, WHICH IS WHY IT IS NECESSARY TO UNCLOG ANOTHER RIA SYSTEM. IN ADDITION TO THIS, THE DOCTOR REPORTS THAT THE RIA HEADS WERE ADVANCING WITH GREAT DIFFICULTY THROUGH THE MEDULLARY CANAL, WHICH MAKES IT DIFFICULT TO TAKE THE GRAFT, IT SHOULD BE CLARIFIED THAT THE SYSTEM WAS MOUNTED CORRECTLY AND IT WAS CHECKED THAT EVERYTHING WAS WELL CONNECTED IN ADDITION TO DOING THE PREVIOUS STEPS OF THE TECHNIQUE BEFORE INTRODUCING THE RIA INTO THE MEDULLARY CANAL, AT THE END OF THE SURGERY THE DOCTOR INFORMS THAT ONLY ONE RIA KIT CAN BE CHARGED, ARGUING THAT THE ONE THAT PRESENTED THE NOVELTY IS A PRODUCT FAILURE AND THAT FOR THIS REASON THE DESIRED AMOUNT OF GRAFT COULD NOT BE EXTRACTED AND DOES NOT AUTHORIZE THE INCLUSION OF THE RIA SYSTEM KIT WITHIN THE EXPENSE, IN ADDITION TO THIS, THE HEAD OF THE STERILIZATION CENTER INDICATES THAT IT IS NOT THE FIRST TIME THAT THERE HAVE BEEN PROBLEMS WITH THIS SYSTEM.
