Additional Manufacturer Narrative
On (b)(6) 2017 the (b)(6) performed a clinical evaluation and commented as follows: insert revision in tka 9 months after primary for joint instability.The insert was exchanged to a thicker one.The developmental instability is a rather commonly described possible complication following tka, because soft tissue may stretch and provide insufficient stability.It is therefore common practice to resort to a thicker insert and recreate soft tissue tension.This is not a problem due to any implant defect or malfunction.Batch review performed on 16 october 2017.Lot 146173: 30 items manufactured and released on 17 december 2014.Expiration date: 2019-10-31.No anomalies found related to the problem.To date, (b)(4) items of the same lot have been already sold without any similar reported event.
