Additional Manufacturer Narrative

Product complaint # (b)(4).Investigation summary : broken bor.The device associated with this report was returned to depuy synthes for evaluation.Visual examination of returned device revealed the tip broken from pin rev dome drill 30mm due to repeated use.Broken fragment was not returned for evaluation.However, no signs of a bent condition were observed on device surface, therefore not confirming this allegation.Broken condition is consistent with multiple uses under extreme eccentric loading resulting in premature bending or failure of the drill bit, however taking in consideration the age of the device (5 years) the potential cause can be attributed to end of life.The lifecycle requirements of the device are event related and depend on the use and inspection of the device in clinical practice.As the device can be damaged on the first or 100th use, the device must be properly inspected prior to each surgical use.Refer to the device/country specific ifu for information related to end of life, reprocessing instructions, and inspection procedures.A dimensional inspection was not performed since it was not applicable to the complaint condition.A functional test was unable to be performed due to the post-manufacturing damage.The overall complaint was confirmed as the observed condition of the pin rev dome drill 30mm would have contributed to the complained issue.Based on the investigation findings, the potential cause is traced to end of life, and it has been determined that no corrective and/or preventative action is required.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.
