The device was not returned for evaluation; therefore, a device analysis could not be performed.A review of the production order did not reveal a manufacturing abnormality that could have caused or contributed to the reported incident.A review of complaint history for the part number over the past 12 months and for the batch number based on historical data of the device did not reveal similar events for the listed device.A review of instructions for use for knee systems revealed in warnings and precautions that the surgeon should be familiar with the technique and an adequate inventory of implant sizes should be available at the time of surgery.Additionally, revealed that the correct selection of the implant is extremely important.Failure to use the optimum size component may result in loosening, bending, cracking, or fracture of the component and/or bone.A review of the risk management file revealed this failure mode was previously identified.The anticipated risk level is still adequate.A historical review concluded that there are no prior actions related to this product and event.Factors that could contribute to the reported event include surgical technique used or user/procedural variance.At this time, we have no evidence to conclude that the product failed to meet any specifications at the time of manufacture.Based on this investigation, the need for corrective action is not indicated.Should the device or additional information be received, the complaint will be reopened.No further investigation is warranted for this complaint; however, we will continue to monitor for future complaints and investigate as necessary.We consider this investigation closed.
