Additional Manufacturer Narrative
H10: h3, h6: the reported event was analyzed.Although the involvement of all the devices was reported, the relationship with the investigated failure was directly associated to the journey ii bcs xlpe articular insert sz 3-4 right 9mm.Therefore, no investigation is deemed for the other device.The associated device was returned and evaluated.The visual inspection revealed that the post is fractured off, the device has multiple gouges and is discolored.A dimensional evaluation performed on the device revealed that the device has damage that appears to be from attempted use and has the potential to cause an event during attempted mating to the tibial base as described in the complaint.The damage/deformation of several features would not allow for accurate measurement.All measurable critical features that could be measured were within specification.The dimensional inspection of the returned device did not indicate the product was defective at the time of shipment from the manufacturing site.This device is subjected to multiple visual and dimensional inspections during processing, and this type of damage has a high likelihood of detection during these inspections.The clinical/medical investigation stated that the two provided (unlabeled/undated) intraoperative photos confirm a post insert breakage.No additional supporting documentation has been provided.Based on the information provided the clinical root cause of the post insert breakage is as reported, ¿the surgeon stated that the breakage of the insert was due to second fall and dislocation.¿ no additional information was provided.The patient impact is the resulting falls, multiple dislocations and closed reductions and subsequent revision.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, but no similar events for the batch based on the historical data, this failure mode will be monitored for future complaints for any necessary corrective actions.A review of the instructions for use documents for knee systems revealed that the implant can break or become damaged as a result of strenuous activity or trauma.Besides, dislocation and subluxation can result from trauma, improper implant selection, improper implant positioning, improper fixation, and/or migration of the components.Muscle and fibrous tissue laxity can also contribute to these conditions.This has been identified as a warning and precaution and as a possible adverse effect.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.Additionally, per material specification, the quality and manufacture of standard grade polyethylene shall be controlled.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 traumatic injury.Based on this investigation, the need for corrective action is not indicated.Should 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.
