Product complaint # : (b)(4).Investigation summary: it was reported that the product was broken and found in spd.The product was returned to depuy synthes for evaluation.Visual inspection revealed the outer surface of pin trl lnr 10deg +4 40id 60od scratched.Additionally, the threaded insert of device was found disassembled and the snap ring was not returned for evaluation.Scratches are consistent with other tools and hard edges coming in contact with the device.The observed condition of the device was consistent with a component failure that was caused by over-tightening the threaded insert during used and intentionally disassembling the snap ring from it for surgical preference or cleaning.Properly handling and attention to the approved use of the device diminishes the risk of failure.Reported allegation can be confirmed as overtightening the device may lead to a breakage condition.A dimensional inspection was unable to be performed due to the post-manufacturing damage.A functional test was not performed since it was not applicable to the complaint condition.The overall complaint was confirmed as the observed condition of the pin trl lnr 10deg +4 40id 60od would contribute to the complained device issue.Based on the investigation findings, 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 device history record (dhr) review or manufacturing records evaluation (mre) was not possible because the date code pg0410 provided is not a valid finished goods lot number.
