Product complaint # (b)(4).Investigation summary it was reported that during setup for the case that morning, the circulator had opened a bag of our cement and found it to be busted.I had grabbed a few boxes to replace it, but the powder packaging in all four of them was also busted.It appeared that there was an issue with the seal not closing all the way.They all had the same lot number.We still had five more from that same box with the same lot number that had not been opened, but i assumed they were likely defective as well and did not feel comfortable opening them.There had been no delay to the case or issue with the patient.The product was returned to j&j medtech orthopaedics for evaluation and a photo was provided for review.See attachment 17_sep_2024_11_54_07_15946.Visual analysis of the returned smartset hv bone cement 40g and the photo investigation revealed that the powder of the inner package has leaked from one side.The observed condition has been addressed to the j&j medtech orthopaedics quality system for further investigation.A functional test was not performed since it was not applicable to the complaint condition.A dimensional inspection was not performed since it was not applicable to the complaint condition.The overall complaint was confirmed as the observed condition of the smartset hv bone cement 40g would contribute to the complained device issue.Based on the information currently available, a product issue was identified during the investigation.This product issue will be addressed through j&j medtech orthopaedics quality system.Additional monitoring for any potential safety signals will be conducted through complaint trending and other post-market safety surveillance activities.Device history lot a nr was created to address current complaint condition.
