Additional Manufacturer Narrative
Product complaint # (b)(4).Investigation summary: when i clean this instrument the instruments release a lot of ¿blue paint¿ (see picture below).The product was not returned to depuy synthes, however photo was provided for review.See attachment (image001).The photo investigation found that the anodized coating is compromised due to the image showing q-tips with blue ink.The anodized color is tightly bound to the aluminum surface and does not easily bleed or transfer under normal conditions of use.The color itself is integrally bonded to the oxide layer, ensuring that it remains stable and does not seep or bleed onto other surfaces.However, it's important to note that extreme conditions, such as exposure to harsh chemicals, high temperatures, or abrasive cleaning methods, can potentially affect the integrity of the anodized color finish.Additionally, improper handling or surface damage may compromise the anodized surface, potentially affecting its color stability.To maintain the longevity and appearance of an anodized finish, it is recommended to follow the ifu (ifu-0902-00-721 ) for cleaning and care to minimize the risk of color bleeding or any unintended color changes during maintenance.Potential cause is traced to maintenance.As the device was not returned, an as-received condition could not be assessed, and a dimensional inspection and document/specification review were not completed.The overall complaint was confirmed.As the observed condition of the [18/150 stem ext trl bow ] would contribute to the complained device issue.  based on the investigation findings, 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 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.

Product complaint # (b)(4).Investigation summary: according to the information received, ¿when i clean this instrument the instruments release a lot of ¿blue paint¿ (see picture below)¿.The products and photos (image001) were returned to depuy synthes for evaluation.The complaint unit was forwarded to the depuy material science lab in warsaw for further investigation.Further details of the device's analysis were attached on "material evaluation e2024-000878 (b)(4).Visual analysis of the returned sample revealed that 18/150 stem ext trl bow exhibits varying degrees of fading of the blue anodizing and white chalky appearance on the surface.The observed white chalky appearance is consistent with corrosion of the aluminum alloy.These observations suggest the stem was exposed to a corrosive environment outside of what is permitted by the instructions for use (ifu-0902-00-721).The stem was likely exposed to basic or acidic solutions where ph is either high or very low, respectively, or to an electrolytic solution with high chloride concentrations.The overall complaint was confirmed as the observed condition of the stem ext trl bow would contribute to the complained device issue.Based on the investigation findings, the potential cause is traced to maintenance, 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.H10 additional narrative: corrected: h3.
