The devices were not returned for evaluation, however infection documents (i.E.Laboratory test results) have been received.Thus, the reported event could be confirmed.The patient was treated at the hospital 2 weeks after his mandible was fractured.Patient was admitted on (b)(6) 2020.In the discharge summary, the patient was diagnosed with left angle fracture and an infected right parasymphysis fracture as well as head injury prior to surgery.Patient was also described as diabetic and alcoholic.During the day of the surgery, (b)(6) 2020, a sample was taken of the reported infection.The microbiology report on (b)(6) 2020 shows that the patient is infected with mrsa.The instructions for use (ifu 90-01939, rev.8) advises against the use of the reported devices for patients with active infections.About six weeks post surgery, the patient came back in and tt was discovered that patient had infection and samples were taken.The results show that the patient was infected with the same organism (mrsa).The infection was found at the parasymphysis region and only one of the fixated plates and the screws were infected and has loosened.The plate was ¿(¿) removed and treated.(¿)¿ a review of the postoperative x-ray has shown that plate 55-08216 was used to fixate fractures of the left mandibular angle and right parasymphysis.In the ifu, straight plates are not recommended for mandibular angle fractures.This case was presented to stryker¿s medical expert, as the use of a straight plate to the mandibular angle for fixation may have influenced the loosening.He has stated; ¿the loosening was caused by the infection.¿ in sum, the procedure to fixate mandible fractures when a patient has an active infection is considered as off-label use.Infection is a known adverse event related to this procedure.It has been documented in the instructions for use associated with this device that this type of adverse event may rather be clinically related than implant related.Based on statistical evaluation there is no indication for an incorrectly working product or any systematic design, material or manufacturing related issue.Therefore, no further corrective and / or preventive actions are deemed necessary at this time.Should further information be available, the investigation will be re-evaluated.H3 other text : product was discarded at facility.
