Manufacturer Narrative

H3, h6: the device was not returned for evaluation but the pictures were reviewed, and they confirm that the screw was backing out.The clinical/medical investigation concluded that, based on the two provided electronic copies of x-ray images, it cannot be confirmed that the screw was fully seated initially as no immediate post-op imaging was provided for comparison.The hk-surgical technique does address seating the screw with the hex driver followed by the torque wrench.The patient impact beyond the reported concern of the patient and the screw migration cannot be determined.No further medical assessment can be rendered at this time.A review of the manufacturing records did not reveal a manufacturing abnormality that could have caused or contributed to the reported incident.A review of complaint history for the part number over the past 12 months and for the batch number based on historical data of the device did not reveal similar events for the listed device.A review of the instructions for use documents for knee systems revealed that looseness of components have been identified as a possible adverse effect.A review of the risk management file revealed this failure mode was previously identified.The anticipated risk level is still adequate.A historical review concluded that there are no prior actions related to this product and event.At this time, we have no reason to suspect that the product failed to meet any product specifications at the time of manufacture.Factors and/or some potential probable causes that could contribute to the reported event have been identified as abnormal motion over time, bone degeneration, fit/sizing issue, lack of ingrowth, improper fixation, improper implant positioning or trauma.The contribution of the device to the reported event could be corroborated as the screw was backing out from its correct position.Based on this investigation, the need for corrective action is not indicated.Should the device or additional information be received, the complaint will be reopened.No further investigation is warranted for this complaint; however, we will continue to monitor for future complaints and investigate as necessary.We consider this investigation closed.
