Manufacturer Narrative

Product complaint (b)(4).Investigation summary on opening the sterile packaging the employee found the implant in two parts instead of one.The product was not fully assembled and this is a problem as the screw could fallout on opening and be contaminated and the implant would not be usable.This is a greater problem if there is only one as we mostly only have one in a loan kit and in a hospital.The product was not returned to depuy synthes, however photos were provided for review.See attachment (b)(4).Implant no fully assembled in packaging.The photo investigation revealed that the glbl unite ant body 142 sz 10 was observed disassembled because the screw is separated, whereas, according to specifications, the screw should be assembled with the body of the implant.As the device was not returned, an as-received condition could not be assessed, and a dimensional inspection and document/specification review were not completed.The overall complaint was confirmed as the observed condition of the glbl unite ant body 142 sz 10 would contribute to the complained device issue.Additional monitoring for any potential safety signals will be conducted through complaint trending and other post-market safety surveillance activities.Device history lot a nr ((b)(4).) has been initiated to address the current complaint issue.
