This report is being submitted in pursuant to the provisions of 21 cfr, part 803.This report may be based on information which has not been able to investigate or verify prior to the required reporting date.This report does not reflect a conclusion by depuy mitek or its employees that the report constitutes an admission that the device, depuy mitek, or its employees caused or contributed to the potential event described in this report.If information is obtained that was not available for the initial medwatch, a follow-up medwatch will be filed as appropriate.Investigation summary: the product was returned to mitek for evaluation.Mitek then conducted visual inspection of device received.The speedtrap was received and evaluated.Visual observations reveals that the suture was not assembly.It was identified that the suture was damage, it had some areas slightly frayed and mechanical marks.The polypropylene cage has no structural anomalies and none of the retraining tabs are broken.A manufacturing record evaluation was performed for the finished device lot number: 9l25682, and no nonconformances were identified.Based on the condition of the device, this complaint can be confirmed and we cannot determine a root cause for this failure mode.The possible root cause could be attributed when trim the graft ends less than 3mm from the distal whip stitch, which could cause that suture construct may slip off the graft.Also, it is possible that may not apply axial tension to the graft while pulling each suture limb.However, it cannot be conclusively affirmed.As per ifu, it is important to orient the delivery device with suture tails distal to the graft end.Do not trim graft ends less than 3mm from the distal whip stitch; the suture construct may slip off the graft.Orient the delivery device with the suture tails distal to the graft end.Pass the graft through all suture loops until the graft end is flush with jaws of the delivery device.Apply axial tension to the graft while pulling each suture limb until all suture loops are tight around the graft.Avoid over tensioning as this may compromise the integrity of the speedtrap suture/graft construct.As part of mitek¿s quality process all devices are manufactured, inspected, and released to approved specifications.At this point in time, no corrective action is required, and no further action is warranted.However, in depuy synthes mitek, additional complaint information monitoring for potential safety signals is conducted through complaint trending as part of post market surveillance.
