This report is being submitted pursuant to the provisions of 21 cfr, part 803.This report may be based on information which has not been investigated or verified prior to the required reporting date.This report does not reflect a conclusion by depuy synthes, or its employees that the report constitutes an admission that the product, depuy synthes, or its employees caused or contributed to the potential event described in this report.If information is obtained that was not available for the initial report, a follow-up report will be filed as appropriate.H11 additional narrative: the product was returned to depuy synthes for evaluation.Visual inspection of the returned device found that the implant still attached to the inserter was returned for evaluation.The anchor was broken at the distal end.The overall device had foreign matter, presumably biological residue.No other anomaly could be observed.The overall complaint was confirmed as the observed condition of the gryphon t br anchor w/oc would have contributed to the complained device issue.Based on the investigation findings, the potential cause can be associated with off axis insertion and levering during insertion.As per instructions for use, axial misalignment or levering with the anchor upon insertion may result in anchor fracture.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 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.
