Product complaint # (b)(4).Investigation summary : according to the information received, ¿it was reported that the inserter tip broke off.Pencil tip was bent¿.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 s-rom*impactor stem,rotator has the distal tip broken off, fragment was not returned for evaluation.Additionally, the pin that attaches the clamp neck impactor to the main device was missing.The observed condition of the broken tip was consistent with a random component failure that may have been caused by exposure to unintended forces, such as, heavy usage, constant off-axis impactions and excessive force in a prying motion.A dimensional inspection and functional testing were not performed as it is not applicable to the complaint condition.The overall complaint was confirmed as the observed condition of the s-rom*impactor stem,rotator 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 reported 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 : a manufacturing records evaluation (mre) was not performed as no lot number was retrieved for this device.
