Manufacturer Narrative
|
The device, used in treatment, was returned for evaluation.A visual inspection of the returned redapt distal reamer 240mm size 16 and redapt trial body sz 16 confirms the devices are stuck together.The devices can¿t be separated.The redapt trial body sz 16 was manufactured in 2017.The lot number on the redapt trial body sz 16 cannot be seen because the devices are stuck together.These devices show significant signs of wear and usage.A review of complaint history on the listed part revealed no prior complaint for the listed batch with the same failure mode.A review of the manufacturing records did not reveal a manufacturing abnormality that could have caused or contributed to the reported incident.This device is a reusable instrument that can be exposed to numerous surgeries; damage from repeated use can occur.Expected wear/tear is likely the probable cause of the reported event.We recommend that all reusable instruments be routinely inspected for wear and damage and replaced as necessary.At this time, we have no reason to suspect that the product failed to meet any product specifications at the time of manufacture.Based on this investigation, the need for corrective action is not indicated.Should additional information be received, the complaints will be reopened.No further investigation is warranted for these complaints; however we will continue to monitor for future complaints and investigate as necessary.
