Additional Manufacturer Narrative
Product complaint (b)(4).Investigation summary : instrument is missing the locking screw to keep it from sliding.The product was returned to j&j medtech orthopaedics for evaluation.Visual analysis of the returned device revealed that the c-stem neck resection caliper had the locking screw missing.Additionally, the device shows signs of extensive and repeated use.The observed condition may occur during the cleaning/sterilization process, particularly when the components are assembled or disassembled.As these procedures are often repeated, there is an increased risk of components going missing.However, without concrete evidence or further information, it is not possible to determine a root cause.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 c-stem neck resection caliper would have contributed to the complained 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 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.
