Event Description

The customer reported a foreign body in an omega implant box.

Manufacturer Narrative

The reported event could not be confirmed since the original packaging was not returned and since the complete packaging is not visible on the received pictures.The device inspection revealed the following: a steel ball with a diameter of 1.98mm was returned for evaluation.The ball has no markings or any other identifying features on it.The original package and the implant were not returned for evaluation.The received picture also don't show the complete original package, there is just a section of an opened blister pack with the returned ball inside visible.The identification of the catalog- and lot number was made based on a patient label sticker on a implant sheet.A review of the device history for the reported lot did not indicate any abnormalities.No corrective actions are required at this time.A review of the labeling did not indicate any abnormalities.No indications of material, manufacturing or design related problems were found during the investigation.Based on the available information the root cause of this occurrence cannot be defined and without the original package it is not possible to confirm the event.As part of the complaint evaluation the complete manufacturing process of the device was reviewed.In none of the performed process steps is a steel ball with a similar dimension used.Also the areas with balls, that could get in contact with the product, of the involved machines were reviewed.It was found that none of these balls is missing and that these balls do not have the same diameter like the returned one.These findings speak against a contamination with the ball during the manufacturing and packaging process.If more information is provided, the case will be reassessed.
