It was reported that, the femoral head trial 12/14 40 +0 came back in office set with large gash taken out of it.No case reported; therefore, there was no patient involvement.
 
Additional Manufacturer Narrative
Results of investigation: the device, intended for use in treatment, was returned for evaluation.A visual inspection was performed and confirmed femoral head trial is worn and damaged with a gash, rendering the device inoperable.At this time, we have no reason to suspect that the product failed to meet any product specifications at the time of manufacture.A complaint history review found related failures; this failure mode will be monitored for future complaints for any necessary corrective actions.The device is a reusable instrument that can be exposed to numerous surgeries and cleaning cycles.As plastics are vulnerable and crack may have initiated during use and possible causes could be due to the heating and cooling associated with autoclaving or prolonged use.We recommend that all reusable instruments be routinely inspected for wear and damage and replaced as necessary.Based on this investigation, the need for corrective action is not indicated.Without the return of the actual product involved, our investigation could not proceed.Should the device or additional information be received, the complaint will be reopened.No further investigation warranted for this complaint; however we will continue to monitor for future complaints and investigate as necessary.We consider this investigation closed.
