The device was not returned for evaluation.The pictures provided were reviewed and could not confirm the instability.The clinical/medical investigation concluded that, per complaint details, a revision was performed approximately 15 months post implantation due to instability.Reportedly, the 9mm left cr insert was exchanged for a 12mm left deep dished insert.As of the date of this medical investigation, the requested clinical documentation has not been received.Without the requested clinical documentation, possible contributing clinical factors could not be definitively concluded.The patient impact beyond the reported instability and subsequent revision cannot be determined.No further medical assessment could be rendered 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 knee systems revealed that use extreme care in patient handling is needed and postoperative patient care and directions and warnings to patients by physicians are extremely important.Protected weight bearing with external support is recommended for a period of time to allow healing.Normal daily activity may be resumed at the physician¿s direction.Patients should be directed to seek medical opinion before entering potentially adverse environments that could affect the performance of the implant, this has been identified as postoperative warnings and precautions.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 joint laxity 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.
