Product complaint # (b)(4).Investigation summary according to the information received, ¿the size 56 36 lipped liner trial internal metal piece has come loose." the product was not returned to medtech orthopaedics, however photos were provided for review.The investigation was not able to confirm the reported event as the complaint condition was not represented clearly in the provided photo.However, the trial liner broke at the insertion hole of the metal insert.The provided evidence was not sufficient to confirm the reported event of loose.Functionality issues cannot be evaluated through a photo investigation.However, the observed condition of the broken device is consistent with a component failure that was caused by exposure to unintended forces like overtightening the device while assemblance; or by assembling the device in a misaligned position.Properly handling and attention to the approved use of the device diminishes the risk of failure.Therefore, the investigation could not draw any conclusions about the reported event due to the insufficient evidence provided.Since the device was not returned, a dimensional inspection cannot be performed.The overall complaint was not confirmed as the photographs provided are not representative of the reported complaint condition.Based on the investigation findings, potential cause can be attributed to unintended use error and 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 complaint condition.As part of 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.
