Additional Manufacturer Narrative

|
The knee was manufactured in april 2016 and had been in the field for over 7 years when the injury occurred.The user reported that the device did not provide flexion resistance from 0-5°.The likely reason for the user experiencing the resistance issue is the age of the actuator, which was installed on 2021-01-04 and was therefore almost 3 years old.It is likely that there was play in the unit which resulted in the user not feeling any resistance in the first few degrees of flexion.The problem is related to wear and tear during use and there is no evidence of other problems or manufacturing defects.
