Additional Manufacturer Narrative
Product complaint # (b)(4).Investigation summary : instrument stuck inside of another instrument.The device associated with this report was returned to depuy synthes for evaluation.Visual analysis of the device found the 28 +0 femoral head trials, rep still inside of the pinnacle mb head trial 47_28.The device had deep scratches on the overall surface.The 28 +0 femoral head trials, rep rotated without resistance inside the matting device.The insertion tool was not returned for evaluation.According with the surgical technique the returned devices are matting devices.The observed condition of the device can be attributed to failure to follow instructions, this type of damage is consistent with the device being in contact with other tools like; forceps, tweezers or other tools with an edge, as well as the appearance suggest heavy usage.Properly handling and attention to the approved use of the device diminishes the risk of failure.According to the surgical technique, place the correct articul/eze head trial onto the pinnacle dual mobility head trial insertion tool by applying a force to the trial directly in line with the tool until the articul/eze trial is seated and securely in place.Insert the assembled pinnacle dual mobility head trial insertion tool into the pinnacle dual mobility head trial by holding the mobile bearing head trial in one hand and placing the articul/eze trial in the opening of the mobile bearing head trial.Apply pressure at an angle to minimize the force necessary to assemble.More force is required when attempting to insert the head trial into the mobile bearing head trial using a direct in line technique.Remove the pinnacle dual mobility head trial insertion tool, ensuring the articul/eze trial remains captured within the mobile bearing head trial by pulling the mobile bearing trial construct and the head trial insertion tool in opposite directions.Verify that the articul/eze trial can move freely within the mobile bearing head trial.To disassemble, place the mobile bearing trial assembly onto the shaft of the dual mobility head trial insertion tool.Lever out the articul/eze head trial from the mobile bearing trial at an angle similar to what you used to assemble it.Based on the above an incorrect disassembling technique is suspected as the potential root cause for the reported condition.A functional test was unable to be performed due to returned device condition.A dimensional inspection was not performed due to returned device condition.The overall complaint was unconfirmed as the observed condition of the 28 +0 femoral head trials, rep would not have contributed to the complained issue.Based on the investigation findings, the potential cause is traced to failure to follow instructions, 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 : a device history record (dhr) review or manufacturing records evaluation (mre) was not possible because the date code provided is not a finished goods lot number.
