Additional Manufacturer Narrative
H11: after further assessment of the information gathered by the manufacturer, it was identified that this event should be re-evaluated for mdr reporting.The original information stated that during a tka surgery, the handle of one (1) femoral implant impactor broke while using it.It is unknown how the procedure was completed.There was no delay and no injury was reported as a consequence of this issue.However, it was determined that the issue does not meet the criteria to be reportable, since the section of the device that broke was the handle, this section is located external to patient.Moreover, if the device malfunction were to recur, it would not be likely to cause or contribute to a death or serious injury.
