Product complaint # (b)(4).Investigation summary: it was reported that upon inspection the following broken parts were found.Pinn straight cup impactor - broken strike plate duraloc str cup impactor - bad threads x2 lcs/sig rev fem slve trl 31m - bad rubber ring inside pin bantam cup impactor adapt - bad rubber ring pinn esc liner extractor tip - broken tip modular head ball remover - broken attachment s-rom*stem/sleve separtor - bent tip pinn gb offset cup impactor - metal handle - broken handle weld emphasys trl lnr elv 50x36 - chipped emphasys trl lnr n 48x36 - chipped actis retaining stem inserter - bad threads pinn gb straight grater hndl - broken attachment quickset ace grater handle - broken attachment srom knee cut guide handles - bad threads srom box osteotome - gouged.The product was returned to j&j medtech orthopaedics for evaluation.Visual analysis of the returned device revealed that the s-rom*stem/sleve separtor wedg had the tip deformed.Potential cause can be attributed to unintended use error by combination of heavy use and excessive force in a prying motion resulting in overload of the material.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 s-rom*stem/sleve separtor wedg would have contributed 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 j&j medtech orthopaedics 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: the product investigation found no evidence suspecting an error in the manufacturing or material that would be a contributing factor in the reported allegation(s).A manufacturing records evaluation (mre) was not performed.H11 additional narrative: corrected: h3.
