  • 원인
    Medtronic has become aware of instances where spine clamps have been damaged when forced open beyond their intended limits during use and will subsequently not open once attached to a patient’s spinous process. when the spine clamp is forced open beyond its intended limits, a component (captive washer) may break off. the washer could then be inadvertently left behind in a patient’s body if the breakage occurs during the procedure. if the washer is missing from the device, the spine clamp cannot be re-opened after placement on the spinous process.Medtronic has received six reports where unintended removal of spinous process occurred when attempting to detach the spine clamp. the unintended removal of spinous process can lead to damage of adjacent vertebra and cause premature degradation.
  • 조치
    Medtronic is providing an interim workaround for users via the Customer Letter. A new version of the clamps with a design mitigation will be distributed as a permanent correction once available.
