Additional Manufacturer Narrative
Product complaint #: (b)(4).Investigation summary: it was reported that old pinnacle graters need to be replaced.Getting complaints from doctors of being very dull as well has sterile processing complaints of rust and warping.These are over 10 years old.It did not happen in surgery.The product was returned to j&j medtech orthopaedics for evaluation.Visual analysis of the device found blunting/rounding of cutting edges.Additionally signs of corrosion were observed around the cutting surface.It is not unreasonable that the condition identified in visual analysis would contribute to a dull condition.Therefore, we are able to confirm dullness with damage observed, as this kind of evidence indicates repeated use of the device.The lifecycle requirements of the device are event related and depend on the use in clinical practice, 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.Where corrosion/oxidation is identified around the cutting surface of the device, alongside damage consistent with normal wear, this suggests that the passive layer of the metal has been worn down from repeated use (due to normal use damage) allowing for the metallic surface underneath to become susceptible to corrosion/oxidation.Therefore, the potential cause of the observed corrosion/oxidation is consistent with the device reaching the end of its useful life.The overall complaint was confirmed as the observed condition of the quickset ace grater head would have contributed to the complained issue.Based on the investigation findings, the potential cause is traced to end of life, and 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 = > 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: corrected: h3.
