Additional Manufacturer Narrative
Product complaint # (b)(4).Investigation summary - it was reported that corrosion and metal shavings noticed on/near alignment holes.The product was returned to j&j medtech orthopaedics for evaluation.Visual inspection revealed the silhouette resection guide's pin holes delaminated at its edges.Additionally, the overall device surface had signs of usage and corrosion patterns could be observed around the product information etches of the device.The observed condition of the device was consistent with a random component failure that may have been caused by exposure to unintended forces such as assembling the pin into the hole in an misaligned position.Properly handling and¿attention to the approved use of the device diminishes the risk of failure.Furthermore, for the corrosion observed, potential cause can be traced to an end of life problem, as the passive layer of the metal has been worn down from repeated use (due to normal use damage and servicing) allowing for the metallic surface underneath to become susceptible to corrosion/oxidation.The lifecycle requirements of the device are event related and depend on the use and inspection of the device in clinical practice.As the device can be damaged on the first or 100th use, the device must be properly inspected prior to each surgical use.Refer to the device/country specific ifu for information related to end of life, reprocessing instructions, and inspection procedures.A dimensional inspection was not performed since it was not applicable to the complaint condition.A functional test was not performed since it was not applicable to the complaint condition.The overall complaint was confirmed as the observed condition of the silhouette resection guide 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.H11 additional narrative: corrected: h3.
