Additional Manufacturer Narrative
Product complaint #(b)(4).Investigation summary: metaglene holder and internal rod not holding onto metaglene positioning plates.The product was returned to j&j medtech orthopaedics for evaluation.Visual analysis of the returned device revealed that the metaglene holder hex tip is cross threaded, the observed condition is consistent with repeated use and servicing over the years.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 functional test was not performed since the mating device was not returned, however, based on the observed condition of the tip, it is reasonable to conclude that this condition would likely impede the device from securely attach or holding its mating device.Therefore, the reported allegation can be confirmed.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 metaglene holder would have contributed to the complained 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.
