Product complaint # (b)(4).Investigation summary: according to the information received, it was reported that the anteversion osteotome is blunt and damaged.The product damage documented in this pc has been identified during loan kit inspection, by the loan kit technician.The product was returned to depuy synthes for evaluation.The depuy synthes team conducted a visual inspection of the returned device.Visual analysis of the returned sample revealed that the device 200231000, anteversion osteotome sm was found with scratches and worn condition near the edges of the tip; additionally, rounding of cutting edges were identified.It is not unreasonable that the condition identified in visual analysis would contribute to a dull condition.Therefore, we are able to confirm dullness with damage observed, as this kind of evidence indicates repeated use of the device.The wear condition was identified as an end-of-life indicator, damage consistent with repeated use and servicing over 10 years.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.The overall complaint was confirmed as the observed condition of the anteversion osteotome sm 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.
