H3, h6: the device was not returned for evaluation.However, a visual inspection of the image provided revealed that the chart stick specifies that the insert is for the right side.The clinical/medical investigation concluded that based on the limited information provided, human error is the likely contributory factor that led to the implantation right-sided poly in the patient¿s left-knee.Therefore, it could not be concluded that the reported adverse event is related to a mal performance of the implant or implant failure.It is unknown if the instructions for use documents for the knee system was adhered.The impact to the patient beyond the implantation wrong-sided poly, the subsequent revision and expected transient post-op convalescence period cannot be determined.No further clinical assessment is warranted 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.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.A review of the instructions for use documents for knee systems was performed and revealed in the intraoperative section that the correct selection of the implant is extremely important.According to the label specification, the label should say the device is a right insert.The printed labels were reviewed in the production order and confirmed that the labels stated that this was the an insert for the right knee.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 mix up during set up and/or user error.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.
