Product available to stryker, returned to manufacturer on; device evaluated by mfg.An event regarding disassembly issue involving a scorpio baseplate was reported.The event was confirmed.A visual inspection was conducted and found there to be minor scratches on the top of the thread plug.There were chips along the edge of the thread plug in various areas.The underside of the baseplate and keel appear to be in good condition.There is light staining on top of the baseplate.This may have occurred during the cleaning and decontamination process.A functional analysis was conducted.A seekonic torque analyzer ma-000630 was utilized along with a 3/8 hex adaptor.The outcome of the torque measurement was 135 inch pound which is out of specification.The drawing 77-4003-at notes the thread plug torque should be within 25 ¿ 50 inch pound.No medical records were received for review with a clinical consultant.Review of the product history records indicates devices were manufactured and accepted into final stock with no reported discrepancies.There have been no other events for this lot.The event of disassembly issue was confirmed but the root cause was not determined.The torque wrench (ma-11462) used to assemble the thread plug to the baseplate was found to be within calibration at the time of assembly.A functional test was conducted for this device and the thread plug was unable to be removed.At this time we cannot determine why the thread plug was unable to be removed from the tibial baseplate.During the surgical procedure they tried to remove the thread plug but were unsuccessful and another device was available.We cannot determine if the correct direction used to try to disassemble the thread plug was followed.
