Product complaint # (b)(4).Investigation summary : it was reported that two head trials have scratches on them and need to be replaced.The metal insert in the pinnacle dm liner trial popped out.All pieces were recovered and no time was added to the case.The product was returned to depuy synthes for evaluation.The depuy synthes team conducted a visual inspection of the returned device.Visual analysis of the returned sample revealed that the screw component fell apart form the pinnacle dm liner trial 50_43 due to missing snap ring.The observed condition of the device can be attributed to a combination of heavy use and over-tightening the screw, causing the component to separate from the rest of the device.The overall complaint was confirmed as the observed condition of the pinnacle dm liner trial 50_43 would contribute to the complained device issue.Based on the investigation findings, the potential cause is traced to unintended use error, and it has been determined that no corrective and/or preventative action is proposed.There is no indication that a design or manufacturing issue has caused the reported complaint condition.As part of depuy synthes quality process, all devices are manufactured, inspected, and released to approved specifications.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.
