Additional Manufacturer Narrative
Product complaint # (b)(4).Investigation summary: plastic material is too soft, debris in joint.The product was returned to j&j medtech orthopaedics for evaluation.Visual analysis of the returned device found that the std glenosphere trial d42mm has several scratches around the edge of the inner segment.Additionally, the device was delaminated and was shedding some particulates, confirming the reported allegation.The observed condition is consistent with using alternative methods for extraction (such as prying or gripping the trial with pliers or clamps to extract) which are not recommended forms of extraction in the surgical technique.No material or manufacturing defects were observed that would have contributed to the material becoming damaged more easily.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 std glenosphere trial d42mm would have contributed to the complained device issue.Based on the investigation findings, the potential cause is traced to unintended use error, and 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.Would have contributed to the complained device issue.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.
