Manufacturer Narrative

H3, h6: the device was not returned for evaluation and the reported event could not be confirmed.The clinical/medical investigation concluded that, although arthrofibrosis is a known potential occurrence post-surgery which may require manipulation under anesthesia, the clinical root cause of the reported left knee pain with subsequent manipulation under anesthesia cannot be confirmed, and it cannot be concluded that the issue was caused by a mal performance of the device based on the clinical report forms provided.Patient impact beyond the reported pain, along with interventions to "improve range of motion" including the manipulation under anesthesia, meds, physical therapy, and rest could not be determined; however, the outcome was reportedly ¿recovered/resolved¿ the same day as the manipulation under anesthesia procedure.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 improper fixation, and/or migration of the components could cause possible adverse effects.Also, the warnings and precautions section establish that the implant can become damaged as a result of strenuous activity or trauma.The patient should be warned of surgical risks, and made aware of possible adverse effects.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 that could contribute to the reported event include traumatic injury, joint tightness, patient reaction or postoperative care.The contribution of the device to the reported event could not be corroborated.Based on this investigation, the need for corrective action is not indicated.Without the return of the actual product involved, our investigation could not proceed.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.
