Product complaint # (b)(4).Investigation summary: it was reported that the liner trial has scratches and some normal wear and tear.The trial did not break and there was no time added to surgery.The product was returned to depuy synthes for evaluation.The depuy synthes team conducted a visual inspection of the returned device.Visual inspection of the returned sample revealed that head of the screw of the pin trl lnr neut 540dx36id was observed stripped.Additionally, the snap ring was found stuck in the threaded of the screw.The observed condition of the device can be attributed to an excessive force applied on liner trial when tightening.Over-tightening the threaded insert during use can cause disassembling the snap ring from the screw.Also the device exhibited slightly scratches on the outer and inner surface of the device.This type of damage is consistent with the device being in a unintended contact with other tools during assembling/disassembling the device.Properly handling and attention to the approved use of the device diminished the risk of failure.Therefore, the report allegation can be confirmed.A dimensional inspection was unable to be performed due to post manufacturing damage.A functional test was not performed due to post manufacturing damage.The overall complaint was confirmed as the observed condition of the pin trl lnr neut 540dx36i contribute to the complained device issue.Based on the investigation findings, the potential cause is traced to unintended use error 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 device lot number is unknown, therefore a device history review could not be performed.If the lot/serial number becomes available, the record will be re-assessed.
