Event or Problem Description
|
|
It was reported that the reaming adaptor was broken when it came to the customer.It was noticed during the surgery that this item welds together (gets stuck) with this reamer.This might cause a humerus fracture; luckily this was avoided this time due to a very experienced surgeon.The loan set will be returned later this week and it´s very important that this instrument will be replaced.The reamer might be damaged as well due to the defect instrument so please check that as well.There was a ten-minute surgical delay.

Product complaint # : (b)(4).Investigation summary : no device associated with this report was received for examination, therefore unavailable for a physical evaluation.However a photograph was provided.Upon visual inspection of the photograph, the reaming adaptor was noted a few rusted areas and some scratches.No other anomalies were found.Since the device was not physically returned, a functional allegation cannot be evaluated thru a photograph.Depuy synthes considers the investigation closed at this time.Should additional information be received, the information will be reviewed, and the investigation may be re-opened as necessary.Device history lot : the product investigation found no evidence suspecting an error in the manufacturing or material that would be a contributing factor in the reported allegation(s).A manufacturing records evaluation (mre) was not performed.
