Event Description
|
Integrum (b)(4) was informed on 07/08/2021 that the patient had fallen and broken his prosthetic foot (not manufactured by integrum).During the incident, the release function of the axor ii was not initiated (the unit did not release in bending or rotation).After the incident, there is sound in the axor ii unit, primarily when walking on an inclined surface, like there is a "slam" in it after the fall.The date of the incident is unknown.The unit was sent to integrum for technical investigation and repair.During investigation, the clicking sound could not be replicated, however the top body was found to be worn and the bending punch to be damaged.During service, top body and bending punch were replaced.Integrum has recommended to inspect the other prosthetic components that could be damaged and cause clicking after the fall.Further, integrum has requested additional information from the patient regarding the fall, to be able to understand if the axor ii should have released or not (i.E.If there was a malfunction or not).

Integrum ab was informed on (b)(6) 2021 that the patient had fallen and broken his prosthetic foot (not manufactured by integrum).During the incident, the release function of the axor ii was not initiated (the unit did not release in bending or rotation).After the incident, there is sound in the axor ii unit, primarily when walking on an inclined surface, like there is a "slam" in it after the fall.The unit was sent to integrum for technical investigation and repair.During investigation, the clicking sound could not be replicated, however the top body was found to be worn and the bending punch to be damaged.During service, top body and bending punch were replaced.Integrum has recommended to inspect the other prosthetic components that could be damaged and cause clicking after the fall.Further, integrum has requested additional information from the patient regarding the fall, to be able to understand if the axor ii should have released or not (i.E.If there was a malfunction or not).08/16/2021: integrum received additional information from the patient regarding the fall.According to the patient, the foot had come off from the prosthesis (not manufactured by integrum) which caused the patient to fall down forward with an extended knee.The axor ii is intended to release when a bending moment of more than 70 nm is applied in the walking direction.Since during the fall the knee was in the extended position, the axor ii was not subjected to any bending forces.Therefore there was no reason for the unit to release, and the unit is therefore considered to function as intended.
