Additional information added: d4 (expiration date), h4, h6 (component code, type of investigation, investigation findings, investigation conclusions).Results of investigation: the device was not returned for evaluation and the reported event could not be confirmed.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 the risk management file revealed this failure mode was previously identified.The anticipated risk level is still adequate.A historical review concluded that there are no prior actions related to this product and event.According with inspection drawing, part number, size, implant type, hand, recut type, saw blade thickness and part configuration should be verified, besides dimensions should be measured with caliper to ensure print specifications.An assessment made by a quality engineer was performed and could not confirm a root cause for the stated failure mode.All checks were found to be within visionaire standards.At this time, we have no reason to suspect that the product failed to meet any product specifications at the time of manufacture.Some potential probable causes for this event could include but not limited to surgical technique used, user/procedural variance.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.Corrected data: b5, h3.
