Additional Manufacturer Narrative
Product complaint#: (b)(4).Investigation summary: according to the information provided: "reclaim torque assembly stripped and failed to properly torque final bolt implant.Surgeon manually torqued bolt".The product was returned to depuy synthes for evaluation.Visual inspection of the returned device found the head of the bolt adaptor deformed, scratched and with delaminated patterns.Device had also signs of usage on its overall surface and no other anomaly was noted.The observed conditions of the device can be consistent with exposure to unintended forces such as assembling the adaptor square connection in misaligned position; activating the device before it was fully seated/assembled; or by excessive leverage/torque during the process.Properly handling and attention to the approved use of the device diminishes the risk of failure.As per reclaim¿ revision hip system surgical technique (103808717), page 24, the following precautions need to be followed: 1) "ensure that the distal end of the torque wrench assembly engages the head of the bolt.To tighten the bolt, turn the t-handle of the torque wrench assembly clockwise until the t-handle clicks.This ensures that the appropriate torque has been applied, and the locking bolt assembly has been fully seated"; 2) "when attaching the t-handle, it needs to meet the level of the red line in order to securely lock in place"; and 3) "t-handle must be firmly inserted onto the torque wrench body attachment until it is securely engaged".A dimensional inspection was not performed since it was not applicable to the complaint condition.A functional test was unable to be performed due to the post-manufacturing damage.The overall complaint was confirmed as the observed condition of the reclaim pronged stem stblzr 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: e1 (facility name), h3.The expiration date (12/31/2039) in the initial medwatch was reported in error.The device involved was an instrument and does not have an expiration date.
