The complaint device has not been returned, despite requesting it several times, therefore unavailable for a physical evaluation.This device is a legacy fms device; therefore a lot review is not needed.Further, a review into the depuy synthes mitek complaints system revealed no other complaints for this lot of devices that were released to distribution.We cannot discern a root cause for the reported failure mode.At this point in time, no corrective action is required and no further action is warranted.This file will remain receptive to any potential forthcoming information received that is pertinent and germane to this issue.However, depuy synthes mitek will continue to track any related complaints within this device family as a means of monitoring the extent with which this complaint is observed in the field.
