Additional Manufacturer Narrative
Product complaint # (b)(4).Investigation summary: opened up tray and shim was already broken.We did not use it during the case.The product was returned to j&j medtech orthopaedics for evaluation.Visual inspection revealed one portion broken from the attune shim sz9 6mm, near its middle surface.Broken fragments were not returned for evaluation.Additionally, deep scratches were observed on the device surface.Potential cause can be attributed to unintended use error by use of excessive force in applied while trialing; or by other tools and hard edges coming in contact with the device.Properly handling and attention to the approved use of the device diminishes the risk of failure.A dimensional inspection was unable to be performed due to the post-manufacturing damage.A functional test was unable to be performed due to the post-manufacturing damage.The overall complaint was confirmed as the observed condition of the attune shim sz9 6mm 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.
