H3, h6: the device was not returned for evaluation; therefore, a device analysis could not be performed.The clinical/medical investigation concluded that, of note, no response/clarification or supporting clinical documentation has been provided as of the date of this medical investigation; therefore, no clinical factors have been identified which would have contributed to the reported event.The patient impact beyond the reported use of a 15mm insert cannot be determined as it is unknown if the native joint line was maintained or if it may increase the risks for future knee joint interventions.No further medical assessment can be rendered at this time.Device batch number was not provided, thus, an evaluation of the manufacturing records could not be performed.As visionaire devices are custom made devices, a review of the complaint history for this part is not applicable.A review of the instructions for use documents for visionaire¿ patient matched instrumentation with fastpak instruments revealed in the device description that the surgical technique brochure shall be referred for complete procedural information and, if the patient matched cutting guide or fastpak instrument does not perform as intended, use the standard smith & nephew instrumentation to complete the surgery.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 specifications at the time of manufacture.Factors that could contribute to the reported event include surgical technique used or user/procedural variance.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.
