Product complaint # (b)(4).Investigation summary: the instruments were reported for unknown allegation.The event did not happened during a surgery.Additional information received; part was in 2 pieces no longer able to be used.The product was returned to j&j medtech orthopaedics for evaluation.Visual analysis of the returned device revealed that one of the sides of the attune rp ps trl sz 7 5mm was broken.Fragment was not returned for evaluation.The observed condition of the device was consistent with a random component failure that may have been caused by exposure to unintended forces such as prying motion to disassemble the mating instruments after trialing resulting in material overload and heavy usage.No material or manufacturing defects were observed that would have contributed to the fracture.A functional test was not performed since it was not applicable to the complaint condition.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 rp ps trl sz 7 5mm would have contributed to the complained issue.Based on the investigation findings, the potential cause is traced to unintended use error and 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: a manufacturing records evaluation (mre) was not performed as no lot number was able to be retrieved for this device.If the lot/serial number becomes available, the record will be re-assessed.H11 additional narrative: corrected: h3.
