It was reported that, after a ukr was performed on (b)(6) 2021, the engage porous tibial tray sz 3-lt med did not grow into the patient's bone.A revision surgery was performed on (b)(6) 2022 to treat this adverse event were all the devices were explanted.No further details available at this moment.
 
Additional Manufacturer Narrative
H3, h6: the device was not returned for evaluation.However, the clinical/medical investigation concluded that, the photos of the explanted femoral and tibial uni-components do not appear to have complete bony ingrowth, which would be congruent with the complaint details and that although the revision was reportedly due to the components ¿did not grow into the patient's bone¿, no definitive contributing clinical factors can be concluded to have caused the lack of bony ingrowth based on the provided electronic x-ray copies and explant photos.The patient impact beyond the reported revision due to lack of bony ingrowth along with an anticipated transient rehabilitation phase could not be determined.No further medical assessment can 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 engage partial knee system revealed that the surgeon should caution the patients to control their level of activity and avoid excessive loads on the replaced joint, and make them aware of the precautions to be taken with regards to exercise, treatments and limitations on activities.Also, periodic follow-up and x-rays are recommended to make comparisons with the immediate postoperative condition to identify possible early failure of the arthroplasty.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 a similar event was identified due to a spike in the complaints where a revision surgery was performed, and determined that the primary root cause is: insufficient surgeon and medical education training program.Furthermore, there were limited resources available to engage to complete a more detailed surgeon training program.The following actions will be performed: build robust sales training and medical education program for engage products, deliver training to active surgeon users and hold quarterly surgeon training events.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.A factor that could contribute to the reported event include patient condition.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.
 
Additional Manufacturer Narrative
Section h3, h6: the device was not returned for evaluation.The photograph was reviewed but did not reveal any defects.However, the clinical/medical investigation concluded that, the photos of the explanted femoral and tibial uni-components do not appear to have complete bony ingrowth, which would be congruent with the complaint details and that although the revision was reportedly due to the components ¿did not grow into the patient's bone¿, no definitive contributing clinical factors can be concluded to have caused the lack of bony ingrowth based on the provided electronic x-ray copies and explant photos.The patient impact beyond the reported revision due to lack of bony ingrowth along with an anticipated transient rehabilitation phase could not be determined.No further medical assessment can be rendered at this time.A review of the production records 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 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 engage partial knee system revealed that the surgeon should caution the patients to control their level of activity and avoid excessive loads on the replaced joint, and make them aware of the precautions to be taken with regards to exercise, treatments and limitations on activities.Also, periodic follow-up and x-rays are recommended to make comparisons with the immediate postoperative condition to identify possible early failure of the arthroplasty.There is not enough data available to conclude that the overall clinical benefit outweighs the potential risk profile when compared to the state of the art.The existing data identifies a potential signal that the performance is an outlier vs the state of the art with respect to the risk for revision.In addition, a historical review concluded that no previous escalated actions for this type of issue were identified.However, as a correction action a voluntary market removal will be performed for the engage cementless partial knee system due recent complaint data that indicates that the revision rate may be trending higher than corresponding similar devices in global joint replacement registries.At this time, we have no reason to suspect that the product failed to meet any product specifications at the time of manufacture.A factor that could contribute to the reported event include patient condition.Based on this investigation, the need for corrective action may be indicated.
