Internal complaint reference: (b)(4).Additional information: d9: is this device available for evaluation? h6: medical device problem code, type of investigation and investigation findings.H11: the associated device was returned and evaluated.The visual inspection finds the high flex insert significantly worn and discolored.One edge is deformed with significant material loss.A review of the production order did not reveal a manufacturing abnormality that could have caused or contributed to the reported incident.A review of complaint history for the part number over the past 12 months and for the batch number based on historical data of the device did not reveal similar events for the listed device.A review of the instructions for use documents for knee systems reveal in possible adverse effects that wear of the polyethylene articulating surfaces of knee replacement components has been reported following total knee replacement.Higher rates of wear may be initiated by particles of cement, metal, or other debris which can cause abrasion of the articulating surfaces.Higher rates of wear may shorten the useful life of the prosthesis, and lead to early revision surgery to replace the worn prosthetic components.A review of the risk management file revealed this failure mode was previously identified.The anticipated risk level is still adequate.A historical review concluded that there are no prior actions related to this product and event.At this time, we have no evidence to conclude that the product failed to meet any specifications at the time of manufacture.Factors that could contribute to the reported event include friction or joint tightness.Based on this investigation, the need for corrective action is not indicated.Should additional information be received, the complaint will be reopened.No further investigation is warranted for this complaint; however, we will continue to monitor for future complaints and investigate as necessary.We consider this investigation closed.
