There is a a potential failure mode associated with the use of the mallet, wherein the poly tip of the mallet may become loose and/or come off during use. If the potential failure mode occurs, particles generated in the poly thread potentially could enter the surgical field or a delay in surgery could occur if the tip disengages during the use of the mallet.

Reports of wound fluid and /or blood that were not evacuated from beneath the wound dressing and the pump blockage alarm did not activate has been associated with inadequate Soft Port sealing at the wound site or improper positioning of the Soft Port orifice over the wound contact dressing drape. Inadequate sealing can result in air leaks and contribute to inefficient fluid evacuation from the wo
One batch of the Reflection(TM) Polyethylene Acetabular Liners may be out of tolerance causing the liner not to fully seat into the shell.
The Tyvek(TM) lid on one, or both, of the two trays that form a double barrier around the insert may not have been adequately sealed.
