Revision of c-stem due to under sizing the cement mantle.

Manufacturer Narrative

Product complaint # (b)(4).Investigation summary : according to the information received, ¿revision of c-stem due to under sizing the cement mantle¿ the product was not returned to depuy synthes, however photos were provided for review.Review of the photographic evidence shows the c-stem amt sz2 std offset explanted, covered with what appears to be organic material and with a ceramic head still assembled.However no signs of a device nonconformance were observed.Per c-stem® amt triple tapered stabilised hip primary surgical technique (183652-210720 ), "the c-stem amt implant system offers a complete range of femoral templates.When the approximate size template is selected, overlay the outline above an a/p radiograph of the femur with the implant¿s centre line in line with the long axis of the femur.Position the template so that the centre of the central depth marking is level with the proposed neck resection and the cement mantle outline fills the proximal femoral canal.With the template positioned accurately, the centre of rotation of the head should overlay the centre of the femoral head".Additionally, during the insertion of the femoral stem it is mentioned that "in terms of implantation depth, the stem is ¿neutrally¿ seated when the middle marking on the stem is level with the neck resection.The additional lines allow the implant to be raised or lowered; to increase or decrease leg length without adjusting the offset.Raising or lowering the stem with respect to the neck resection will increase or decrease the proximo-medial cement mantle thickness respectively.Remove excess cement with a curette.Maintain the position of the stem until the cement has completely polymerized".No additional information was provided to confirm an under sizing the cement mantle during the implantation of the returned stem.Therefore, no conclusion can be drawn and no further investigation is required.A manufacturing record evaluation was performed for the finished device [157004085 / d18101955] number, and no non-conformances / manufacturing irregularities were identified during manufacturing.Based on the available information, the overall complaint was confirmed since it was reported an improper cement mantle sizing used with the c-stem amt sz2 std offset.Based on the investigation findings, it has been determined that no corrective and/or preventative action is proposed.There is no indication that a design or manufacturing issue has caused the reported complaint condition.As part of depuy synthes quality process, all devices are manufactured, inspected, and released to approved specifications.Additional monitoring for any potential safety signals will be conducted through complaint trending and other post-market safety surveillance activities.Device history lot : a manufacturing record evaluation was performed for the finished device [157004085 / d18101955] number, and no non-conformances / manufacturing irregularities were identified during manufacturing.
