Additional Manufacturer Narrative
Product complaint # (b)(4).Investigation summary: during a workshop it was not possible to properly fix the trial augments in the trial tibiae.It seems that something is wrong with the treads of the trial.They are somehow cold welded.The product was returned to j&j medtech orthopaedics for evaluation.Visual analysis found that the attune rev t augtrl 15mm sz3lm was returned disengaged from its mating device.However the threaded screw was jammed and slightly cross-threaded.Due to the observed damage, it is reasonable to conclude that there were difficulties during the disassembling process.A functional test was unable to be performed due to the post-manufacturing damage.However taking in consideration the observe condition of the attune rev t augtrl 15mm sz3lm it is evident that some difficulties were encountered during the disassembling process.Potential cause can be traced to unintended forces, such as overtightening, off-axis assembly or prying motions applied during repeated assembly and disassembly with its mating device.Properly handling and attention to the approved use of the device diminishes the risk of failure.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 attune rev t augtrl 15mm sz3lm 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: 1) quantity manufactured: (b)(4).2) date of manufacture: 7/22/2024.3) any anomalies or deviations identified in dhr: none.4) expiry date: n/a.5) ifu reference: ifu-0902-00-836.H11 additional narrative: added: h4.Corrected: h3.
