This report is being submitted in pursuant to the provisions of 21 cfr, part 803.This report may be based on information which has not been able to investigate or verify prior to the required reporting date.This report does not reflect a conclusion by depuy mitek or its employees that the report constitutes an admission that the device, depuy mitek, or its employees caused or contributed to the potential event described in this report.If information is obtained that was not available for the initial medwatch, a follow-up medwatch will be filed as appropriate.H11 additional narrative: the product was returned to j&j medtech orthopaedics for evaluation.Visual inspection of the returned device found the overall device surface with signs of usage.Additionally, one portion of the electrical cord was found cut open.No other anomalies were noted.A functional test was performed for the device using the fms vue pump and handpiece.As the pump was activated and the pedals pressed, all functions were activated as intended and no signs of intermittence or failure were noted on the test.However, given the damaged observed on the electrical cord, it is reasonable to confirm the reported event as the damage could have led to a device system failure.The overall complaint was confirmed as the observed condition of the foot pedal(fms vue/nextra) would have contributed to the complained device issue.¿ based on the findings, the investigation could not draw any conclusions and no potential cause about the reported event can be established due to the insufficient evidence provided.However, for the cord damage, potential cause can be traced to improper handling, maintenance or care or the device.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 review- a manufacturing record evaluation was performed for the finished device, and no non-conformances nor manufacturing irregularities were identified.
