It was reported that during an unspecified surgery, the patient had a transient allergic reaction for about 4 min after versabond was injected.The associated device, used in treatment, was not returned for evaluation.Thus the product analysis could not be performed.A review of manufacturing records did not reveal any deviation from the standard manufacturing processes.At this time, we have no reason to suspect that the product failed to meet any product specifications at the time of manufacture.A review of the complaint history for the listed part revealed no prior complaints for the listed failure mode with the same batch number.A relationship, if any, between the device and the reported incident could not be corroborated.No medical documents were received for investigation.Therefore no medical assessment can be performed at this time.The instructions for use and risk management files were reviewed and the ifu identifies the reported issue in the warnings section.Some potential causes could include but are not limited to patient reaction or patient allergy.It was reported that the event was resolved with medication.Based on this investigation, the need for corrective action is not indicated.No further investigation is warranted for this complaint; however, smith and nephew will continue to monitor for future complaints and investigate as necessary.Should additional information be received, this complaint will be reopened and reevaluated.
