Product complaint # : (b)(4).Investigation summary: according to the information received, "it was reported that the insert was broken.This event did not happen in surgery." the product was returned to j&j medtech orthopaedics for evaluation.Visual analysis of the returned device found that the pfcsigm ins trl stabl12.5mmsz2 had severely scratches on the entire surface, consistent with extensive and repeated use.This type of damage is consistent with other tools and hard edges coming in contact with the device.However, taking in consideration the aspect of the device, the potential cause can be attributed to end of life.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.Additionally, a portion of the rim was broken.The broken fragment was not returned for evaluation.The broken condition of the device was consistent with a component failure that was caused by exposure to unintended forces like usage of excessive force in a prying motion while trialing.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 pfcsigm ins trl stabl12.5mmsz2 would have contribute to the complained device issue.Based on the investigation findings, it has been determined that no corrective and/or preventative action is required.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 worn condition.Corrected: h3.
