It was reported that, during a visionaire case, when using a vis adpt guide kit jii, the implant conditions were too tight.They did not exactly match the patient's bone; the planned femur width was too large it was at the limit of the acceptable size.The spacer did not fit into the femo-tibial intersection.Therefore, the tibia had to be resected 2mm over plan.The procedure was resumed, after a non-significant delay, with the same device.No other complications were reported.

Additional information: h6 (component code, type of investigation, investigation findings, investigation conclusions).Results of investigation: the device was not returned for evaluation; therefore, a device analysis could not be performed.The clinical/medical investigation concluded that, based on the limited documentation provided, no clinical factors have been identified which would have contributed to the reported event.The patient impact included a larger than anticipated femoral component with subsequent 2mm ¿over plan ¿/ additional tibial resection in order to place insert, along with the reported 20-minute surgical delay.The current patient status is unknown; therefore, further patient impact could not be determined.A review made by the quality engineering team revealed that the segmentation was evaluated and found to be within visionaire standards.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 revealed similar events for the listed device over the previous 12 months.A review of the instructions for use documents for visionaire¿ patient matched instrumentation revealed that if the patient matched cutting block 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.According to inspection drawings, part number, size, implant type, hand, recut type and sawblade thickness shall be verified.Also, part configuration shall be compared to print.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.
