Additional Manufacturer Narrative
Product complaint#: (b)(4).Investigation summary: according to the information provided, ¿tip broke off on both.One of the tips we managed to save.¿ the product was returned to depuy synthes for evaluation.Visual analysis of the returned device revealed that the tip of the cor/tri ant stem insert shaft is broken.Fragment was not returned for evaluation.The fracture is consistent with cyclic bending loading of the inserter tip that exceeded the fatigue strength of the material.Previous investigations based on failure analysis through complaint data, identified that exposure to high-cycle impact loading, particularly when combined with slightly off-center and/or irregular impact patterns, can induce cyclic bending stresses on the inserter tip.These conditions may significantly accelerate the propagation of fatigue cracks, ultimately leading to the mechanical failure of the impactor tip.Properly handling and¿attention to the approved use of the device diminishes the risk of failure.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 cor/tri ant stem insert shaft 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 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.Corrected: h3.
