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. H3, H6: A PRODUCT INVESTIGATION WAS CONDUCTED. VISUAL INSPECTION: THE DRIVING CAP/THREADED (PART # 03.010.523, LOT#: 9065883 ) WAS RECEIVED AT US CQ. UPON VISUAL INSPECTION, IT WAS OBSERVED THAT THE DISTAL TIP WAS BROKEN OFF. THE FIRST AND LAST THREADS OF THE DISTAL TIP HAD DEFORMITIES. SCRATCHES ON THE TIP WERE OBSERVED PROXIMAL TO THE BROKEN TIP AND DISTAL TO THE LAST THREAD. THE DEVICE HAD SURFACE SCRATCHES ALONG THE SHAFT AND SEVERAL DENTS ON THE TOP OF THE PROXIMAL HEAD FROM HAMMER BLOWS. THESE COSMETIC ISSUES ARE CONSISTENT WITH NORMAL WEAR. DISCOLORATION WAS OBSERVED ON THE TIP OF THE BROKEN DISTAL TIP. ADDITIONALLY, ETCHING OF PART AND LOT NUMBER WAS FADED. NO OTHER ISSUES WERE IDENTIFIED WITH THE DEVICE. DIMENSIONAL INSPECTION: GROOVE OD AND SHAFT OD WERE MEASURED AND FOUND TO BE CONFORMING PER RELEVANT DRAWING. DOCUMENT/SPECIFICATION REVIEW: THE RELEVANT DRAWINGS WERE REVIEWED. DURING THE INVESTIGATION NO PRODUCT DESIGN ISSUES OR DISCREPANCIES WERE OBSERVED THAT MAY HAVE CONTRIBUTED TO THE COMPLAINT CONDITION. CONCLUSION: THE COMPLAINT CONDITION IS CONFIRMED FOR THE DRIVING CAP/THREADED (PART # 03.010.523) AS THE DISTAL TIP WAS BROKEN. THE FIRST AND LAST THREADS OF THE DISTAL TIP HAD DEFORMITIES. SCRATCHES ON THE TIP WERE OBSERVED PROXIMAL TO THE BROKEN TIP AND DISTAL TO THE LAST THREAD. THE DEVICE HAD SURFACE SCRATCHES ALONG THE SHAFT AND SEVERAL DENTS ON THE TOP OF THE PROXIMAL HEAD FROM HAMMER BLOWS. THESE COSMETIC ISSUES ARE CONSISTENT WITH NORMAL WEAR. DISCOLORATION WAS OBSERVED ON THE TIP OF THE BROKEN DISTAL TIP. ADDITIONALLY, ETCHING OF PART AND LOT NUMBER WAS FADED. WHILE NO DEFINITIVE ROOT CAUSE COULD BE DETERMINED, IT IS POSSIBLE THE DEVICE ENCOUNTERED UNINTENDED FORCES DURING USE (OFF-AXIS OR EXCESSIVE HAMMER BLOWS BASED ON THE NUMEROUS DENTS ON THE PROXIMAL SURFACE). THERE WAS NO INDICATION THAT A DESIGN OR MANUFACTURING ISSUE CONTRIBUTED TO THE COMPLAINT. NO DESIGN ISSUES WERE OBSERVED DURING THE DOCUMENT/SPECIFICATION REVIEW. BASED ON THE INVESTIGATION FINDINGS PRODUCT ISSUE ESCALATION (PIE) HAS BEEN LAUNCHED TO ADDRESS THE IDENTIFIED ISSUE. THE NEED FOR FURTHER CORRECTIVE/PREVENTIVE ACTION WILL BE ASSESSED WITHIN THE PIE. FURTHER INVESTIGATION WILL NOT BE CONDUCTED IN THIS COMPLAINT AS IT WILL BE ADDRESSED WITHIN PIE. ADDITIONAL MONITORING FOR ANY POTENTIAL SAFETY SIGNALS WILL BE CONDUCTED THROUGH COMPLAINT TRENDING AND OTHER POST MARKET SAFETY SURVEILLANCE ACTIVITIES. H3, H4, H6: A DEVICE HISTORY RECORD (DHR) REVIEW WAS CONDUCTED: PART NUMBER: 03.010.523, LOT NUMBER: 9065883, MANUFACTURING SITE: BETTLACH, RELEASE TO WAREHOUSE DATE: 16. DEC. 2014. A MANUFACTURING RECORD EVALUATION WAS PERFORMED FOR THE FINISHED DEVICE LOT NUMBER, AND NO NON-CONFORMANCES WERE IDENTIFIED. 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.
