Product complaint #(b)(4) investigation summary = > it was reported that the adapter was broke during acetabular reaming due to hard bone.Nothing left in patient and no delays.The product was returned to depuy synthes for evaluation.Visual analysis of the returned device found that the s-rom*adaptor hudson to zimmer was broken from the female connector near the edges.The broken fragments were not returned for evaluation.The possible cause could be attributed to misuse and heavy usage as contributing factors for the ends of the connector cracking and/or breaking off.If used with reamers that have begun to wear on the reamer attachment ends, the worn reamers can rotate within the end of the instrument and facilitate a spreading/tearing of the connector as well.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 s-rom*adaptor hudson to zimmer would have contribute to a device 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.
