Defect in the mechanical assembly of the needle holder contained in the navigation kit. One of the 2 jaws of the needle holder does not provide gripping functionality; if the defect is not detected before use, it can cause poor needle guidance and a lack of precision during navigation causing an inaccurate needle position which could cause damage to organs or vasculature adjacent to the trajectory
The firm has received reports concerning the patient fiducial disk separating from the body and users attempting to re-assemble the device. The use of a re-assembled patient fiducial could lead to inability to navigate or inaccuracies such as improper needle trajectory.
The firm has become aware that the sensor cover, a component of the single-use navigation kit may contain microbial contamination. A source of microbial contamination has been identified in a raw product used to manufacture the tip of the cover.This could result in direct exposure of the intra-cardiovascular, intra-lymphatic or neurological system to a level of endotoxin sufficient to produce a pyrogenic response.
