Reason
Medtronic powered surgical solutions testing of the sagittal saw rocker arm seal identified a potential for leakage of fluid into the motor during use. There have been no reports from the field of leakage into or out of the sagittal saw. In assessing the risk of this potential failure mode, it was determined that the gravity sterilization cycle included in the IPC user manual may not be adequate to ensure sterility of the saws if fluid ingress occurs beyond the rocker housing seal.
