Product complaint # (b)(4).Investigation summary : attune cementless cr size 3 left femoral component porocoat coating faulty.The porocoat coating had visible cracking on the anterior chamfer region.Surgeon noticed the defect and it was not implanted.The devices associated with this report were returned to depuy synthes for evaluation.The depuy synthes team forwarded the device to the manufacture site which conducted a visual inspection of the returned device.The investigation performed by the manufacture site confirmed there was "separation", defined as, lines on the porous surface where consecutive beads have not been sintered together, giving the appearance of "cracks" in the porocoat surface of the femoral component.A dimensional inspection was not performed since it was not applicable to the complaint condition.The overall complaint was confirmed as the observed condition of the attune fem por cr lt sz 3 would contribute to the complained device issue.Based on the assessment of the current complaint unit condition against the required manufacturing specifications, the complaint unit failed the inspection criteria.Root cause was traced to human error at the manufacture site during application of porous coating.Therefore, the manufacturing issue has been addressed in the depuy synthes quality system to further investigate the confirmed nonconformance.Additional monitoring for any potential safety signals will be conducted through complaint trending and other post-market safety surveillance activities.Device history lot : an nr was created to address current complaint condition.
