Additional Manufacturer Narrative
Product complaint#(b)(4).Investigation summary: the surgeon had difficulty with the impaction of a fixed attune ps insert.He had to sterilise two inserts before he could finally put his insert in correctly.Pose failure and clicking problem with the device.The product was returned to j&j medtech orthopaedics for evaluation.Visual analysis of the returned device revealed that the attune ps fb insrt sz 6 5mm displays scratches and deformations on the surface and locking tab most likely caused by the implantation attempts.The observed damage can be consistent with a component failure caused by excessive forces applied over material, like assembling the device in an off-axis position during surgical process.Properly handling and attention to the approved use of the device diminishes the risk of failure.As per attune¿ knee system intuition ¿ surgical technique rev.K, on pages 79-80, the next steps need to be followed for a proper implantation of the attune ps fb insrt with the fixed bearing tibial base: "angle the tibial insert posteriorly and slide the posterior tabs into the posterior undercuts of the tibial base.The fixed bearing tibial insert is impacted into place on the tibial base, using the fixed bearing insert impactor.Position the impactor at approximately 60 degrees on the insert so that the notch rests on the anterior edge of the center of the insert.Use a mallet to strike the fixed bearing insert impactor".A dimensional inspection was not performed since it was not applicable to the complaint condition.A functional test was not performed since the mating device was not returned, however, based on the observed condition, it is reasonable to conclude that this condition would likely impede the device from securely attach to its mating device.The overall complaint was confirmed as the observed condition of the attune ps fb insrt sz 6 5mm would have contributed to the complained device issue.Based on the investigation findings, 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: a search of the j&j medtech orthopaedics nonconformance (nc) quality system found no nc¿s associated with this product/lot combination.
