Manufacturer Narrative

H3, h6: the device was not returned for evaluation; therefore, a device analysis could not be performed.A review of the production order did not reveal a manufacturing abnormality that could have caused or contributed to the reported incident.However, a review made by the quality engineering team revealed that there was an incorrect segmentation and alignment performed for the case.The femur had a certain areas that were under segmented and the medial proximal reference was too aggressive.The engineering team was made aware of the situation and trained per the departments work instructions.The clinical/medical investigation concluded that, based on the engineering evaluation, the root cause was determined that there was an incorrect segmentation, incorrect alignment and the medial proximal reference that were too aggressive that led to the reported adverse event.According to the report, the procedure was resumed, after a non-significant delay, with a manual instrument and downsizing of implant.The impact to the patient beyond that which has already been reported cannot be confirmed nor concluded.Should any additional relevant medical information be provided, this case would be re-assessed.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 revealed that if the patient matched cutting guide or fastpack instrument does not perform as intended, use the standard smith & nephew instrumentation to complete the surgery, this has been identified as a device description.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 do have reason to suspect that the product failed to meet specifications at the time of manufacture.The root cause of this event was determined to be an error during its manufacturing.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.
