Correction - h6 (device code).The reported event could be confirmed, since the product was returned for evaluation and matches the alleged failure mode.A review of the device history for the reported lot did not indicate any abnormalities.No corrective actions are required at this time.No indications of material, manufacturing or design related problems were found during the investigation.A review of the labeling did not indicate any abnormalities.A device inspection was performed by gqo team for returned devices and following was observed- both inbone tibial tray and tibial base was determined to be within specification.It appears that the surface damage was caused at the time of surgery/ implantation.It appears that the implant was overexerted during surgery/implantation.The surface damage could have impacted how the tray locks in.Dimensionally, everything was within specification.Based on the available information, the failure is likely to be user related.Failure is most likely caused by application of higher force during impaction that resulted in surface damage of tibial tray and affected its functionality.If more information is provided, the case will be reassessed.
