Product complaint # (b)(4).Investigation summary: during a revision case the below femoral im adaptor would not connect to any of the stem stabilisers.The product was returned to j&j medtech orthopaedics for evaluation.Visual inspection revealed the threads nicked of the attune rev femoral im adaptor.Additionally, device exhibited signs of usage.The observed condition of the device is consistent with a component failure that was caused by exposure to unintended forces like applying excessive force while assembling the device with its mating component; or by assembling the device in a misaligned position.Properly handling and attention to the approved use of the device diminishes the risk of failure.Please refer to the attune® revision knee system fixed bearing surgical technique rev.1 (page 81 and 82) for the proper handling of this device.A dimensional inspection was not performed since it was not applicable to the complaint condition.Even though the conditions in which the reported failure cannot be replicated and the mating component was not returned for evaluation, reported condition can be confirmed as the damage observed on the threads could have contributed to a difficulty on the assemblance/connection between the device and its mating component.Therefore, potential cause can be traced to a component failure, as condition can happen as a consequence of the observed damage.The overall complaint was confirmed as the observed condition of the attune rev femoral im adaptor 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 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.
