Product complaint # (b)(4).Investigation summary: post on size 11 corail broach is damaged.Unable to seat neck trial.The device associated with this report was returned to depuy synthes for evaluation.Visual analysis of the returned device found that the broach corail amt 11 was heavily stripped from the connection post, assembling problems are most probably caused due to this condition.No other issues were observed.The observed condition of the device can be attributed to a combination of heavy usage and due to the taper not being seated all the way into the mating device before usage.The overall complaint was confirmed as the observed condition of the broach corail amt 11 would contribute to the complained device issue.Based on the investigation findings, the potential cause is traced to unintended use error.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.
