Manufacturer Narrative

Section h3, h6: given the nature of the alleged incident, the devices could not be returned for evaluation; therefore, a device analysis could not be performed.The clinical/medical investigation stated that the complaint form documented that no parts were explanted but the operative reports and radiological imaging were not available.Disease progression is a known occurrence and cannot be ruled out as a contributing factor to the reported event.Although it has been advocated that resurfacing the patella during primary total knee arthroplasty should be considered as a routine adjunct to total knee arthroplasty, it is not indicative of a component malperformance.The patient impact beyond the onset of anterior knee pain with subsequent adjunct patellar resurfacing cannot be determined; however, no components were revised/explanted.A review of the production orders for the femoral component and tibial baseplate did not reveal a manufacturing abnormality that could have caused or contributed to the reported incident.As the provided insert's part and batch number information did not match into the system, a device history record review could not be performed.A review of complaint history for the part number of the femoral component and tibial baseplate over the past 12 months and for their batch numbers based on historical data of the devices did not reveal similar events for the listed devices.A review of complaint history of the insert for the previous 12 months did not reveal similar events for the listed device.As previously mentioned, the provided batch number of the insert is not valid within the system, however the review was performed and did not reveal similar events.A review of the instructions for use documents for knee systems provides complete guidelines of indications, contraindications, warnings and precautions and possible adverse effects that may occur preoperative, during surgery or post operative.A review of the risk management files 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 these products and event.At this time, we have no evidence to conclude that the products failed to meet any specifications at the time of manufacture.Factors that could contribute to the reported event include traumatic injury, joint tightness, patient condition or disease progression.Based on this investigation, the need for corrective action is not indicated.Should 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.
