H3, h6: the device was not returned for evaluation and the reported event could not be confirmed.The clinical/medical investigation concluded that, per case details, approximately 2 years post tka, the patient required an insert revision/exchange (from 10mm to 9mm) with a radical open synovectomy due to recurrent limited range of motion secondary to ¿significant scar tissue¿.Reportedly, the patient had a significant history with a prior mua and arthroscopic synovectomy prior to a bowel cancer diagnosis.As of the date of this medical investigation, the requested clinical documentation has not been provided.Without the requested information, the reported event could not be fully assessed.However, it was reported that the patient had "significant scar tissue".The patient impact beyond that which was reported cannot be determined.Reportedly, ¿there is not any indication that the condition persists after the last procedure¿.No further medical investigation could be rendered at this time.If information is later provided to the medical investigation team, the clinical/medical task may be reassessed.A review of the manufacturing records did not reveal a manufacturing abnormality that could have caused or contributed to the reported incident.A review of complaint history for the part number over the past 12 months and for the batch number based on historical data of the device did not reveal similar events.A review of the risk management file revealed this failure mode was previously identified.The anticipated risk level is still adequate.The instructions for use documents revealed this failure mode was previously identified.An historical review concluded that there are no prior actions related to this product and event.At this time, we have no reason to suspect that the product failed to meet any product specifications at the time of manufacture.Possible causes could include but are not limited to alignment, fit/size of device used or patient condition.The contribution of the device to the reported event could not be corroborated.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 is warranted for this complaint; however, we will continue to monitor for future complaints and investigate as necessary.We consider this investigation closed.
