H3, h6: the device was not returned for evaluation and the reported event could not be confirmed.The clinical/medical investigation concluded that based on the limited information provided, we are unable to conclude what lead to the fracture that likely lead to the revision.According to the journey ii ifu review, use of the journey femoral component with the engage system could be considered off-label use as the unicompartmental knee system is designed as a system and does not allow the substitution of components from other systems or manufacturers unless specially approved.It cannot be concluded that the revision was associated with a mal-performance of the implant or implant failure.The patient impact beyond the revision cannot be determined.No further clinical assessment is warranted at this time.A review of the production order 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 for the listed device.A review of the instructions for use documents for journey ii in section device description revealed that journey ii uni femoral components are not compatible with engage system.It also states that each unicompartmental knee system is designed as a system and does not allow the substitution of components from other systems or manufacturers unless specially approved by the manufacturer of the components.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.At this time, we have no reason to suspect that the product failed to meet any product specifications at the time of manufacture.Factors that could contribute to the reported event include surgical technique used or 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.

It was reported that, after a ukr had been performed on (b)(6) 2022, an unspecified adverse event occurred that led to the system removal on (b)(6) 2022.A fracture was mentioned, but it was not clarified if this was referring to patient's bone or to a prosthesis component.It is important to note that an engage system was used with journey uni oxinium femoral component.It is unknown what the current health status is.
