Additional Manufacturer Narrative
Product complaint # (b)(4).Investigation summary: it was reported that the hospital staff dropped the bipolar retaining clip on the floor and threw it in the trash.Also the summit reamers have become dull.This did not delay surgery.No other information is available.The product was returned to j&j medtech orthopaedics for evaluation.Visual analysis of the device found blunting/rounding of cutting edges.It is not unreasonable that the condition identified in visual analysis would contribute to a dull condition.Therefore we are able to confirm dullness with damage observed, as this kind of evidence indicates repeated use of the device.The lifecycle requirements of the device are event related and depend on the use in clinical practice, 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 not performed since it was not applicable to the complaint condition.The overall complaint was confirmed as the observed condition of summit lateralizer 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.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: a device history record (dhr) review or manufacturing records evaluation (mre) was not possible because the date code (pg1005) provided is not a valid finished goods lot#.H11 additional narrative: added: g1 (manufacturing site name).Corrected: h3.
