Investigation results: the device, intended for use in treatment was returned for evaluation.Visual inspection of the returned device confirms that the device is broken and has signs of wear and tear from use.The device was manufactured in 2012.A review of the manufacturing records did not reveal any manufacturing or material abnormalities that could have caused or contributed to the reported incident.A complaint history review found related failures; this failure mode will be monitored for future complaints for any necessary corrective actions.According to clinical/medical investigation, this complaint from the united states reports that a trial insert broke upon removal.This happened outside the patient.There was no delay to the procedure.The procedure could be finished using a smith & nephew back up device.No injuries or harm to the patient was reported at this time.Smith and nephew has not received adequate materials (operative reports) to fully evaluate the complaint, but if additional clinically relevant materials are later received, then the case may be re-opened for further evaluation.At this time, we have no reason to suspect that the product failed to meet any product specifications at the time of manufacture.The device is a reusable device that can be exposed to numerous surgeries and cleaning cycles.Probable causes that could contribute to the reported event, as reusable instruments are susceptible to damage from prolonged use and through misuse or rough handling.To avoid compromised performance or damage, it is recommended the device be inspected prior to and after each use and cleaning.We recommend that all re-usable instruments be routinely inspected for wear/damage and replaced as necessary.A review of risk management files and the instructions for use found that the reported failure was documented appropriately.Based on this investigation, the need for corrective action is not indicated.Should additional information be received, the complaint will be reopened.No further actions are being taken at this time.We consider this investigation closed.
