(b)(4).Device investigation: the reported device was confirmed to be a 3.0 rio® robotic arm - mics, p/n 209999, lot rob311.Device history review: review of the device history records indicate 1 devices were manufactured and accepted into final stock on 12/10/14.No non-conformances were identified during inspection.Device evaluation and results: per fse the 3.0 rio® robotic arm - mics, p/n 209999, lot rob311 with a mics handpiece began to shake and pulse during a posterior chamfer cut.The pulsing motion would resulted in an angle inconsistency error.The fse attempted trouble shooting and repositioning the arm during a case but ultimately the physician choose to convert the case to manual instrumentation resulting in about a 15-20 minute delay.Per fse the vibration issue was duplicated and addressed by "making adjustments to j5 while monitoring the transmission and friction results of j5 and all other joints".The physician sampled the 3.0 rio® robotic arm - mics, p/n 209999, lot rob311 after the adjustments and deemed the results acceptable.System is ready for continued surgical use.Complaint history review: a review of complaints in (b)(6) related to p/n 209999, lot number rob311 shows no additional complaints related to the failure in this investigation.Conclusions: the failure was confirmed by the fse and repaired on site.System is ready for use.Corrective action/preventive action: none at this time.
