Additional Manufacturer Narrative
This report is being submitted pursuant to the provisions of 21 cfr, part 803 (and/or part 4, as applicable).This report may be based on information which has not been investigated or verified prior to the required reporting date.This report does not reflect a conclusion by depuy synthes, or its employees that the report constitutes an admission that the product, depuy synthes, or its employees caused or contributed to the potential event described in this report.Additional narrative: d4: udi: as the lot number for the device involved in the event was not provided, the full udi is currently not available.Investigation summary the product was returned to medtech orthopaedics for evaluation.Visual analysis of the device found blunting of cutting edges.Additionally, corrosion patterns were found both inside and outside of 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.A dimensional inspection was not performed since it was not applicable to the complaint condition.A functional test was not performed since it was not applicable to the complaint condition.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 a device history record (dhr) review or manufacturing records evaluation (mre) was not possible because the date code a1108 provided is not a valid finished goods lot number.If information is obtained that was not available for the initial medwatch, a follow-up medwatch will be filed as appropriate.
