Manufacturer Narrative

H3, h6: the device was not returned for evaluation; therefore, a device analysis could not be performed.The clinical/medical investigation stated that the requested clinical documentation has not been provided for evaluation.It has been communicated via e-mail that no further information is available.Therefore, there were no clinical factors found which would have contributed to the reported event.It was reported the surgeon was ultimately satisfied with the procedure.The patient impact beyond that which already has been reported could not be determined.No further clinical assessment can be rendered at this time.A review of the production order did not reveal a manufacturing abnormality that could have caused or contributed to the reported incident.As visionaire devices are custom made devices, a review of the complaint history for this part is not applicable.A review of the instructions for use documents for visionaire¿ patient matched instrumentation with fastpak instruments revealed that if the patient matched cutting block does not perform as intended, use the standard smith & nephew instrumentation to complete the surgery.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.A review made by the quality engineering team revealed that after evaluation, no root cause could be found for the complaint.All parts of the design were within visionaire standards.At this time, we have no reason to suspect that the product failed to meet any specifications at the time of manufacture.Factors that could contribute to the reported event include surgical technique used or user/procedural variance.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.Additional information: e1 (facility name and address) corrected data: b5, d8 (device available for evaluation?), e1 (initial reporter name), g2, h6 (health effect - clinical code and health effect - impact code).
