Product complaint # (b)(4).Investigation summary: it was reported that the emphasys 48/36 liner is worn won't properly thread.Did not happen in surgery.The product was returned to j&j medtech orthopaedics for evaluation.Visual analysis of the returned device revealed that the emsys trl lnr n 48x36 had scratches on the surface.Additionally the screw was found cross-threaded from the driving recess.Scratches are consistent with other tools and hard edges coming in contact with the device.Screw condition is likely resulting from overtightening, an off-axis assembly or prying motions applied while device is assembled.Proper handling and adherence to the approved use of the device can diminish the risk of failure.A functional test was unable to be performed due to the post-manufacturing damage.However, based on the observed condition of the screw, it is reasonable to conclude that this condition would likely impede the device from securely attach or holding its mating device.Therefore, the reported allegation can be confirmed.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 emsys trl lnr n 48x36 would have contributed to the complained 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: 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.H11 additional narrative: added: d9, h4.Corrected: h3.
