Additional Manufacturer Narrative
Product complaint # (b)(4).Investigation summary: this angle cup inserter handle has been involved in over 75 hip surgeries.The handle part is completely broken off and requires replacement.The product was returned to depuy synthes for evaluation.Visual analysis of the returned device found that the angled acet insertr was broken from the black radel handle.The broken fragments were not returned for evaluation.No other anomalies were noted.The failure of the radel handle either cracking or breaking is due to impaction forces when the surgeon strikes the handle anvil with a heavy object when positioning the shell.The force is transmitted through the anvil into the radel handle either via the anti-rotation pin or directly into the handle through the anvil.This damage can be consistent due to repeated use.The lifecycle requirements of the device are event related and depend on the use and inspection of the device in clinical practice.As the device can be damaged on the first or 100th use, the device must be properly inspected prior to each surgical use.Refer to the device/country specific ifu for information related to end of life, reprocessing instructions, and inspection procedures.A dimensional inspection was not performed since it was not applicable to the complaint condition.A functional test was not performed since it was not applicable to the complaint condition.The overall complaint was confirmed as the observed condition of the angled acet insertr would have contributed to the complained device issue.Based on the investigation findings, the potential cause is traced to end of life, and it has been determined that no corrective and/or preventative action is required.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.
