Date of event is an unknown date in 2020.Reporter is a synthes employee.The instrument(s) was not returned and instead the investigation will be done based on the supplied image(s).The image(s) was reviewed, and the complaint condition could be confirmed as the image shows some discoloration in the sterilization package which is likely from the phenolic handle.This is consistent with repeated reprocessing cycles over the part¿s lifetime and normal wear.As the instrument(s) was not returned, an as received condition, dimensional inspection, material, or drawing reviews are not applicable.A definitive assignable root cause could not be determined based on the provided information.During the investigation, no product design issues or discrepancies were observed (based on the images) that may have contributed to the complaint condition.Additional monitoring for any potential safety signals will be conducted through complaint trending and other post market safety surveillance activities.Based on the investigation findings, it has been determined that no corrective and/or preventative action is proposed.Device was used for treatment, not diagnosis.If information is obtained that was not available for the initial medwatch, a follow-up medwatch will be filed as appropriate.
