    THIS REPORT IS BEING SUBMITTED IN PURSUANT TO THE PROVISIONS OF 21 CFR, PART 803. THIS REPORT MAY BE BASED ON INFORMATION WHICH HAS NOT BEEN ABLE TO INVESTIGATE OR VERIFY PRIOR TO THE REQUIRED REPORTING DATE. THIS REPORT DOES NOT REFLECT A CONCLUSION BY MITEK OR ITS EMPLOYEES THAT THE REPORT CONSTITUTES AN ADMISSION THAT THE DEVICE, MITEK, OR ITS EMPLOYEES CAUSED OR CONTRIBUTED TO THE POTENTIAL EVENT DESCRIBED IN THIS REPORT. IF INFORMATION IS OBTAINED THAT WAS NOT AVAILABLE FOR THE INITIAL MEDWATCH, A FOLLOW-UP MEDWATCH WILL BE FILED AS APPROPRIATE. INVESTIGATION SUMMARY: THE COMPLAINT DEVICE IS NOT BEING RETURNED, IT WAS IMPLANTED IN THE PATIENT, THEREFORE UNAVAILABLE FOR A PHYSICAL EVALUATION. THE STERILE LOAD INFORMATION WAS REVIEWED TO SEE IF THERE WERE ANY OTHER COMPLAINTS OF PATIENT INFECTION FOR ANY PRODUCTS STERILIZED IN THE SAME LOAD. THERE WERE 24 DIFFERENT LOTS OF PRODUCT CONTAINING (B)(4) DEVICES. A REVIEW OF THE COMPLAINT FILES REVEALED THAT THERE WERE TWO OTHER COMPLAINTS IN WHICH PATIENT INFECTION WAS REPORTED (B)(4) AND (B)(4), HOWEVER, THE LOT NUMBER INVOLVED IN THOSE TWO CASES WAS THE SAME AS REPORTED IN THIS COMPLAINT ((B)(4)). THE TWO OTHER CASES WERE ALSO REPORTED FROM THE SAME HOSPITAL. THE REVIEW OF THE COMPLAINT FILES REVEALED THERE WERE NO OTHER COMPLAINTS IN WHICH PATIENT INFECTION WAS REPORTED FOR A DIFFERENT LOT NUMBER IN THE SAME STERILE LOAD. THE ETO STERILIZATION OF THE DEVICE HAS BEEN DONE ACCORDING TO REQUIREMENTS OF ISO 11135:2014. THE CERTIFICATE OF STERILIZATION INDICATES THAT THE PHYSICAL ACCEPTANCE CRITERIA AND MICROBIOLOGICAL ACCEPTANCE CRITERIA WERE IN COMPLIANCE WITH THE VALIDATED SPECIFICATIONS. A MANUFACTURING RECORD EVALUATION WAS ALSO PERFORMED FOR THE FINISHED DEVICE LOT NUMBER (5L95513), AND NO NON-CONFORMANCE WAS IDENTIFIED. BASED OFF THE RESULTS FROM THE STERILE LOAD REVIEW, STERILIZATION CERTIFICATE AND MANUFACTURING RECORD EVALUATION, IT IS UNLIKELY THAT THE REPORTED PATIENT INFECTION WAS CAUSED BY THIS MITEK PRODUCT. ALTHOUGH IT IS UNLIKELY THAT THE MITEK PRODUCT WAS A SOURCE OF THE PATIENT¿S INFECTION, WITH THE INFORMATION PROVIDED, AND WITHOUT THE COMPLAINT DEVICE TO EVALUATE, WE CANNOT DETERMINE A DEFINITE ROOT CAUSE FOR THE REPORTED EVENT. AT THIS POINT IN TIME, NO CORRECTIVE ACTION IS REQUIRED, AND NO FURTHER ACTION IS WARRANTED. HOWEVER, DEPUY SYNTHES MITEK WILL CONTINUE TO TRACK ANY RELATED COMPLAINTS WITHIN THIS DEVICE FAMILY AS A MEANS OF MONITORING THE EXTENT WITH WHICH THIS COMPLAINT IS OBSERVED IN THE FIELD.
