Additional Manufacturer Narrative
Product complaint # (b)(4).Investigation summary - according with information received, it was reported that the watson extraction device was cross threaded during surgery and now wont work.There was no missing pieces.Nothing more to report.The product was returned to depuy synthes for evaluation.The depuy synthes team conducted a visual inspection of the returned device.Visual analysis of the device found that the stem extractordle was seized between one portion of the se bolt thread and the se nut, it is suspected that the internal threads of the extractordle are damaged.The evaluation of the returned device, as well as previous failure analysis performed of related complaints ((b)(4), (b)(4), (b)(4), (b)(4), (b)(4), (b)(4), (b)(4)), found the failure of the mechanism was attributed to excessive loading applied to the stem extractor nut, which exceeded the local shear strength of the material.This condition resulted in thread deformation, fracture, and galling events.Consequently, these failures caused the seizing of the stem extractor nut and bolt, which could cause fracture of the stem extractor bolt during attempts to untighten the seized assembly.A dimensional inspection was not performed since it was not applicable to the complaint condition.A functional test was performed manually and after multiple attempts revealed that the se bolt is jammed and will not disassemble from the se nut as intended.The overall complaint was confirmed as the observed condition of the stem extractordle would have contributed to the complained device 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 depuy synthes 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.
