    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. IF THE INFORMATION IS UNKNOWN, NOT AVAILABLE OR DOES NOT APPLY, THE SECTION/FIELD OF THE FORM IS LEFT BLANK. H10 ADDITIONAL NARRATIVE: REVIEW OF THE DEVICE HISTORY RECORD(S) SHOWED THAT THERE WERE NO ISSUES DURING THE MANUFACTURE OF THIS PRODUCT, AND ANY SUB-COMPONENTS, WHICH WOULD CONTRIBUTE TO THIS COMPLAINT CONDITION. PART # 03.110.007; SYNTHES LOT # H891253; SUPPLIER LOT # H891253; RELEASE TO WAREHOUSE DATE: 25 SEP 2020; SUPPLIER: (B)(4). NO NCRS WERE GENERATED DURING PRODUCTION. THE PRODUCT WAS RETURNED TO DEPUY SYNTHES FOR EVALUATION. THE DEPUY SYNTHES TEAM CONDUCTED A VISUAL INSPECTION OF THE RETURNED DEVICE. VISUAL ANALYSIS OF THE RETURNED SAMPLE REVEALED THAT THE TIP OF THE SDDRIVE SCREWDRIVER T8 WAS OBSERVED STRIPPED, WORN AND SLIGHTLY TWISTED. THE OBSERVED CONDITION WAS CONSISTENT AS AN END OF LIFE INDICATOR FOR THE DEVICE. IT IS REASONABLE TO CONCLUDE THAT THE REPORTED ASSEMBLING ISSUES ARE MOST LIKELY DUE TO THIS CONDITION. NO OTHER ISSUES WERE IDENTIFIED. THE DEVICE EXHIBITS DAMAGE CONSISTENT WITH REPEATED USE. THE LIFECYCLE REQUIREMENTS OF THE DEVICE ARE EVENT RELATED AND DEPEND ON THE USE AND INSPECTION OF THE DEVICE IN CLINICAL PRACTICE. AS THE DEVICE CAN BE DAMAGED ON THE FIRST OR 100TH USE, THE DEVICE MUST BE PROPERLY INSPECTED PRIOR TO EACH SURGICAL USE. REFER TO THE DEVICE/COUNTRY SPECIFIC IFU FOR INFORMATION RELATED TO END OF LIFE, REPROCESSING INSTRUCTIONS, AND INSPECTION PROCEDURES. AS PART OF DEPUY SYNTHES QUALITY PROCESS, ALL DEVICES ARE MANUFACTURED, INSPECTED, AND RELEASED TO APPROVED SPECIFICATIONS. THE OVERALL COMPLAINT WAS CONFIRMED AS THE OBSERVED CONDITIONS OF SDDRIVE SCREWDRIVER T8 WOULD HAVE CONTRIBUTED TO THE COMPLAINED ISSUE. THERE IS NO INDICATION THAT A DESIGN OR MANUFACTURING ISSUE HAS CAUSED THE COMPLAINT CONDITION. IT WAS DETERMINED THAT THE REUSABLE INSTRUMENT WAS WORN FROM REPEATED USE AND SERVICING. BASED ON THE 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. IF INFORMATION IS OBTAINED THAT WAS NOT AVAILABLE FOR THIS MEDWATCH, A FOLLOW-UP MEDWATCH WILL BE FILED AS APPROPRIATE.
