Additional Manufacturer Narrative
Product complaint # (b)(4).Investigation summary: according to the information received, ¿the robot had difficulty getting into plane and there may have been array movement during the procedure.The caller received the information second hand so he didnt have any details.They are requesting log files to be reviewed; they have uploaded them to the velys cloud." the velys array set knee was not returned to depuy synthes.However, product development investigation carried out by the systems team on the involved velys base station (pi-17631518480369427) could confirm the reported issue.The investigation found that there was significant array movement during landmark acquisition steps, leg alignment steps, and place camera step before any femur or tibia cuts, but array movement would not have caused the issue reported based on the leg positioning.The most probable root cause of the issue is sub-optimal leg position relative to the device array.Additionally, it is recommended that the user follow the guidance on (ifu 090260022sw19 rev a page 154 intraoperative use: positioning.An evaluation of the manufacturing record could not be performed as the required lot number was not provided to complete the evaluation.As part of our company quality system process, all devices are manufactured, inspected, and distributed to approved specifications.Additional complaint information monitoring for potential safety signals will be conducted through complaint trending as part of the post-market surveillance.If additional information is made available, the investigation will be updated as applicable.Device history lot: the device lot number is unknown, therefore a device history review could not be performed.If the lot/serial number becomes available, the record will be re-assessed.
