Depuy synthes is submitting this report pursuant to the provisions of 21 cfr, part 803.This report may be based on information which depuy synthes has not been able to investigate or verify prior to the required reporting date.This report does not reflect a conclusion by fda, depuy synthes or its employees that the report constitutes an admission that the device, depuy synthes, or its employees caused or contributed to the potential event described in this report.The 03.100.038 lot number t983345 curved pelvic osteotome was returned and reported to have fallen apart.Upon visual inspection, this condition is confirmed; the metal shaft has become detached from the phenolic handle.The metal pins which held the shaft in place can now be moved laterally within their bores.This complaint condition was likely caused by over five years of consistent use and possible rough handling during surgery or sterile processing; however, this complaint is not likely a result of any design or manufacturing related deficiency.The broken investigation flow was followed for this investigation.No new malfunctions were observed during the course of this investigation.The device was manufactured in 8/2012 and is five years old.A dimensional check of the bore could not be performed due to the interference from the pin and therefore a dimensional check is not relevant to this investigation.The condition of the returned device does agree with the complaint description.Upon review of the device history record, no hardness issues, material defects, or ncrs relevant to the complaint condition were generated during the production of this device.During the investigation no product design issues or discrepancies were observed that may have contributed to the complaint condition.Based on these investigation findings, it has been determined that no corrective and/or preventative action is proposed.Additional monitoring for any potential safety signals will be conducted through complaint trending and other post market safety surveillance activities.Device was used for treatment, not diagnosis.If information is obtained that was not available for the initial medwatch, a follow-up medwatch will be filed as appropriate.
