Additional Manufacturer Narrative
Product complaint # (b)(4).Investigation summary: tibial implant did not sit correctly.Knee was unstable.The product was returned to j&j medtech orthopaedics for evaluation.Visual analysis of the returned device revealed that the locking mechanism tab of the attune ps fb insrt sz 7 5mm was bent.Additionally, displays marks on the surface which are typical for an insert that has attempted to be placed on the tibial tray.Furthermore, both posterior grooves that are designed to slide into the locking feature of the mating tibial tray were found slightly delaminated.A manufacturing record evaluation was performed for the finished device product code: 151640705, lot number: d25013529, and no non-conformances or manufacturing irregularities were identified.Evidence indicates that the device had been properly measured and inspected at the manufacturer through a 100% inspection process.All relevant dimensional checks and specifications were found to be within acceptable limits at the time of release.Consequently, there is no indication of any manufacturing error that could have contributed to the reported issue.As per attune¿ revision knee system fixed bearing surgical technique rev.D, on page 213, the next steps need to be follow for a proper implantation of the attune ps/cr insert with the revision fixed bearing tibial base: "angle the tibial insert posteriorly and slide the posterior tabs into the posterior undercuts of the tibial base.The fixed bearing tibial insert is impacted into place on the tibial base, using the fixed bearing insert impactor.Position the impactor at approximately 60 degrees on the insert so that the notch rests on the anterior edge of the center of the insert.Use a mallet to strike the fixed bearing insert impactor".The mating tibial tray component was not returned.Therefore, a functional test was not able to be performed.However, due to the visual damage observed, the difficulty/inability to assemble mating devices can be confirmed.The overall complaint was confirmed as the observed condition of the attune ps fb insrt sz 7 5mm 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 record evaluation was performed for the finished device product code: 151640705, lot number: d25013529, and no non-conformances or manufacturing irregularities were identified.H11.Additional narrative: corrected: h3.
