Manufacturer Narrative

H10: additional information in d9.H3, h6.The associated device was returned and evaluated.The visual inspection revealed some type of white substances inside the packaging and on the device.A review of the production order 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 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.According with inspection procedure, the visual inspection includes the verification of parts are clean and free of debris and contamination.Also, material specification shall control the quality and manufacture of the alloy wrought bar.A review made by the quality engineering team revealed that the potential factor that could contribute to the reported event is that the inner tray may had a fracture that was missed during final inspections.As the part was shipped out of smith and nephew controls, the fracture grew and eventually broke causing a sharp edge on the inner tray.This caused laceration of the plastic bag.The "white powder residue" that was found in the part was the remnants of the plastic bag as it was being lacerated.A meeting with packaging/operations was conducted to spread awareness of inspecting the inner tray for any small fractures.At this time, we do have reason to suspect that the product failed to meet specifications at the time of manufacture.Based on this investigation, the need for corrective action is not indicated.Should 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.H11: corrected information in h6 (medical device problem code).
