Additional Manufacturer Narrative

Product complaint (b)(4).Investigation summary: it was reported that screw mechanism broke.The event did not happen in surgery.The device associated with this report was returned to depuy synthes for evaluation.Visual analysis of the returned device found that pin trl lnr neut 580dx36id was broken from the screw section, additionally the snap ring was missing.Furthermore the device has signs of scratches at the surface making the visibility of the lot difficult.The observed condition of the device was consistent with a component failure that was caused by exposure to unintended forces, like usage of forceps, tweezers, sharp tools, etc.While trialing.Properly handling and attention to the approved use of the device diminishes the risk of failure.The overall complaint was confirmed as the observed condition of the pin trl lnr neut 580dx36id would 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 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, lot number etch is not visible on the device, due to the scratches appearance of the sample.Therefore a device history review could not be performed.
