Additional Manufacturer Narrative

PRODUCT COMPLAINT # :(B)(4) INVESTIGATION SUMMARY ==> - DATE EVENT (=DATE THE ISSUE TOOK PLACE): (B)(6) 2024 - PROCEDURE: TOTAL HIP - DESCRIPTION OF ISSUE: SCREW IN THE INSTRUMENT HAS BROKEN OFF DURING USE - WHEN DID THE EVEN OCCUR (PRE-OP/INTRA-OP/POST-OP)? INTRA-OP - WAS THERE ANY PATIENT CONSEQUENCE? NO - WHAT ACTION WAS TAKEN TO RESOLVE THE ISSUE? NONE - HOW LONG WAS THE PROCEDURE PROLONGED AS A RESULT OF THE DIFFICULTIES ENCOUNTERED WITH THE DEVICE (MINUTES)? DOES NOT APPLY THE PRODUCT RETURNED TO MEDTECH ORTHOPAEDICS FOR EVALUATION. THE MEDTECH ORTHOPAEDICS TEAM CONDUCTED A VISUAL INSPECTION OF THE RETURNED DEVICE. VISUAL ANALYSIS OF THE RETURNED THIN OSTEOTOME HANDLE REVEALED THAT THE THREADED PORTION OF THE KNOB WAS BROKEN. THE BROKEN FRAGMENTS WERE RETURNED FOR EVALUATION. THE OBSERVED CONDITION OF THE DEVICE WAS CONSISTENT WITH A RANDOM COMPONENT FAILURE THAT MAY HAVE BEEN CAUSED BY EXPOSURE TO UNINTENDED FORCES SUCH AS HEAVY USAGE OR EXCESSIVE TORQUE. PROPERLY HANDLING AND ATTENTION TO THE APPROVED USE OF THE DEVICE DIMINISHES THE RISK OF FAILURE. A FUNCTIONAL TEST WAS NOT PERFORMED SINCE IT WAS NOT APPLICABLE TO THE COMPLAINT CONDITION. A DIMENSIONAL INSPECTION WAS NOT PERFORMED SINCE IT WAS NOT APPLICABLE TO THE COMPLAINT CONDITION. THE OVERALL COMPLAINT WAS CONFIRMED AS THE OBSERVED CONDITION OF THE THIN OSTEOTOME HANDLE WOULD HAVE CONTRIBUTED TO THE COMPLAINED ISSUE. BASED ON THE INVESTIGATION FINDINGS, THE POTENTIAL CAUSE IS TRACED TO UNINTENDED USE ERROR, AND IT HAS BEEN DETERMINED THAT NO CORRECTIVE AND/OR PREVENTATIVE ACTION IS REQUIRED. THERE IS NO INDICATION THAT A DESIGN OR MANUFACTURING ISSUE HAS CAUSED THE REPORTED COMPLAINT CONDITION. AS PART OF J&J MEDTECH ORTHOPAEDICS QUALITY PROCESS, ALL DEVICES ARE MANUFACTURED, INSPECTED, AND RELEASED TO APPROVED SPECIFICATIONS. ADDITIONAL MONITORING FOR ANY POTENTIAL SAFETY SIGNALS WILL BE CONDUCTED THROUGH COMPLAINT TRENDING AND OTHER POST-MARKET SAFETY SURVEILLANCE ACTIVITIES. DEVICE HISTORY LOT ==> THE PRODUCT INVESTIGATION FOUND NO EVIDENCE SUSPECTING AN ERROR IN THE MANUFACTURING OR MATERIAL THAT WOULD BE A CONTRIBUTING FACTOR IN THE REPORTED ALLEGATION(S). A MANUFACTURING RECORDS EVALUATION (MRE) WAS NOT PERFORMED. CORRECTED: H3.
