Additional Manufacturer Narrative
Product complaint (b)(4).Investigation summary it was reported that fb articulation surface and shim got stuck and broke the plastic piece that connects them.Sales rep was returning the broken instruments today and will send office tracking.The product was returned to j&j medtech orthopaedics for evaluation.Visual inspection of the returned device found that was broken chipped near to the metal insert.In addition, a broken post and a spring was stuck inside of the metal insert.These fragments correspond to the mating device attune fb cr artic surf sz6 (254500526).Therefore, the unable to disassemble condition can be confirmed.The thermal properties of the metal bushing and radel trial body are different resulting in the material to expand and contract at different rates.This puts a significant amount of stress on interfacing materials.Radel, being highly brittle, will succumb to these thermal stresses in the form of stress cracking.This cracking can be accelerated by high frequency autoclave cycles and/or the use of harsh chemicals, however, it is recognized these outside contributing factors act as a catalyst to the propagation of the cracks which ultimately can lead to catastrophic failure of the shims.Due to crack propagation being recognized as an inherent risk of the shims after repeated use, the potential cause is traced to end of life.The lifecycle requirements of the device are event related and depend on the use and inspection of the device in clinical practice.As the device can be damaged on the first or 100th use, the device must be properly inspected prior to each surgical use.Refer to the device/country specific ifu for information related to end of life, reprocessing instructions, and inspection procedures.A dimensional inspection was unable to be performed due to the post-manufacturing damage.A functional test was unable to be performed due to the post-manufacturing damage.The overall complaint was confirmed as the observed condition of the attune shim sz5 7mm would have contributed to the complained issue.Based on the investigation findings, the potential cause is traced to end of life, and it has been determined that no corrective and/or preventative action is required.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 records evaluation (mre) was not performed.H11 additional narrative: corrected: h3.
