Additional Manufacturer Narrative

Product complaint # (b)(4).Investigation summary: it was reported that the handle no longer attaches to reamers properly, trial liner has become cracked.Surgical delay was unknown.The product was returned to j&j medtech orthopaedics for evaluation.Visual analysis of the returned device revealed that the pin trl lnr neut 520dx36id is broken from the edge.Fragments were not returned for evaluation.Additionally, the threaded insert and the snap ring were not returned for evaluation.It is worth mentioning that the product information (lot number) of the device was within the missing component.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, heavy usage during the assembly and disassembly process or unintended impaction forces.Properly handling and attention to the approved use of the device diminishes the risk of failure.The observed conditions of the threaded insert and ring could be consistent with a component failure that was caused by over-tightening the threaded insert during used, and subsequently and unintentionally disassembling the snap ring from it.However a definitive root cause cannot be established.A functional test was not performed since it was not applicable to the complaint condition.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 pin trl lnr neut 520dx36id would contribute 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: a manufacturing records evaluation (mre) was not performed as no lot number was retrieved for this device due to the condition (missing components) of the returned device.H11 additional narrative: corrected: h3.
