Product complaint # (b)(4).Investigation summary: the device associated with this report was returned to depuy synthes for evaluation.Visual examination of the returned tibial insert found at the posterior surface evidence of wear consistent with the implants intended use and did not identify any product issues.Deformations marks along of the posterior grooves that is designed to slide into the locking feature of the mating tibial tray were not visible.The mating tibial tray component was not returned, therefore, a functional test was not able to be performed and the difficulty/inability to assemble mating devices cannot be confirmed.Additional monitoring for any potential safety signals will be conducted through complaint trending and other post-market safety surveillance activities.Device history lot: the product investigation found no evidence suspecting an error in the manufacturing or material that would be a contributing factor in the reported allegation(s).A manufacturing records evaluation (mre) was not performed.
