Manufacturer Narrative

H3, h6: the device was not returned for evaluation; therefore, a device analysis could not be performed.The photographs were reviewed, and revealed that the device appears to be deformed.However, with the information available, it can not be confirmed that this deformation was related to the reported pain.The clinical/medical investigation concluded that, a single, poor-quality photo was provided of an explanted patellar component which appears to show some peripheral deformation; however, does not provide insight into the root cause of the event.Without the requested clinical documentation, possible contributing clinical factors could not be definitively concluded.The patient impact beyond the reported pain since their original surgery and revision of the patellar component could not be determined.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 pain or numbness of the affected limb have been identified in possible adverse effects as a result of temporary or permanent nerve damage.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.With the results of this investigation the root cause of this event could not be determined.Factors that could contribute to the reported event include traumatic injury, joint tightness, patient condition or postoperative care.Based on this investigation, the need for corrective action is not indicated.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.
