Product complaint # (b)(4).Investigation summary: complaint.Background: discovery with cleaning from steril department.Complication: no.Delay surgery: no.The product was not returned to j&j medtech orthopaedics; however, photos were provided for review.The photo investigation revealed that the attune rev tib prep plate sz3 had what appears to be slight cracks on the centered inner orifice.The potential cause of the observed condition could be attributed to several factors, including heavy use of the alignment handle, damage incurred while using the tibial offset guide, or unintended forces such as drilling through the prep tower while off-axis or applying slight prying motions.However, a definitive root cause cannot be determined.As the device was not returned, an as-received condition could not be assessed, and a dimensional inspection and document/specification review were not completed.The overall complaint was confirmed as the observed condition of the attune rev tib prep plate sz3 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: the device lot number is unknown; therefore, a device history review could not be performed.If the lot/serial number becomes available, the record will be re-assessed.
