Event or Problem Description
As reported, during surgical use, the femoral trial was loaded onto the femoral insert.As the surgeon began to impact the trial into place, the claw clamp side piece broke off of the insert.The broken piece was obtained on the sterile field.The surgeon had to use the secondary impactor to then insert the implant later on in the procedure.No pieces fell into the patient.All pieces were set to the side of the back table.Patient was last known to be in stable condition following the event.The device will be returned.
Additional Manufacturer Narrative
(h3) the broken device reported was likely the result of the surgeon impacting the femoral impactor head directly in the medial/lateral direction, which imposed high loads to the threaded shaft and led to crack initiation, propagation, and ultimate fracture of the threaded shaft.The most probable root cause associated with the reported event of "broken / non-functional" is associated with the use of the device in terms of nonconforming to that device's intended use, specifications, procedure and process or service instructions and information provided by the device manufacturers.
