    DEPUY ORTHOPAEDICS IS SUBMITTING THIS REPORT PURSUANT TO THE PROVISIONS OF 21 CFR, PART 803. THIS REPORT MAY BE BASED ON INFORMATION WHICH DEPUY ORTHOPAEDICS HAS NOT BEEN ABLE TO INVESTIGATE OR VERIFY PRIOR TO THE REQUIRED REPORTING DATE. THIS REPORT DOES NOT REFLECT A CONCLUSION BY FDA, DEPUY ORTHOPAEDICS OR ITS EMPLOYEES THAT THE REPORT CONSTITUTES AN ADMISSION THAT THE DEVICE, DEPUY ORTHOPAEDICS, 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. ADDITIONAL NARRATIVE: INVESTIGATION SUMMARY THE PRODUCT WAS RETURNED TO J&J MEDTECH ORTHOPAEDICS FOR EVALUATION. VISUAL ANALYSIS OF THE RETURNED DEVICE REVEALED THAT THE TIP OF THE BASEPLATE INSERTER ROD WAS STRIPPED. NO OTHER DAMAGE WAS FOUND. THE OBSERVED CONDITION OF THE DEVICE APPEARS TO BE A RESULT FROM EXPOSURE TO UNINTENDED FORCES, SUCH AS OVERTIGHTENING, OFF-AXIS ASSEMBLY OR PRYING MOTIONS APPLIED DURING REPEATED ASSEMBLY AND DISASSEMBLY WITH ITS MATING DEVICE. A FUNCTIONAL TEST WAS NOT PERFORMED SINCE IT WAS NOT APPLICABLE TO THE COMPLAINT CONDITION. A DIMENSIONAL INSPECTION WAS NOT PERFORMED SINCE IT WAS NOT APPLICABLE TO THE COMPLAINT CONDITION. THE OVERALL COMPLAINT WAS CONFIRMED AS THE OBSERVED CONDITION OF THE BASEPLATE INSERTER ROD WOULD HAVE CONTRIBUTED TO A DEVICE ISSUE. BASED ON THE INVESTIGATION FINDINGS, THE POTENTIAL CAUSE IS TRACED TO UNINTENDED USE ERROR, AND IT HAS BEEN DETERMINED THAT NO CORRECTIVE AND/OR PREVENTATIVE ACTION IS PROPOSED. THERE IS NO INDICATION THAT A DESIGN OR MANUFACTURING ISSUE HAS CAUSED THE REPORTED COMPLAINT CONDITION. AS PART OF J&J MEDTECH ORTHOPAEDICS QUALITY PROCESS, ALL DEVICES ARE MANUFACTURED, INSPECTED, AND RELEASED TO APPROVED SPECIFICATIONS. ADDITIONAL MONITORING FOR ANY POTENTIAL SAFETY SIGNALS WILL BE CONDUCTED THROUGH COMPLAINT TRENDING AND OTHER POST-MARKET SAFETY SURVEILLANCE ACTIVITIES. DEVICE HISTORY THE PRODUCT INVESTIGATION FOUND NO EVIDENCE SUSPECTING AN ERROR IN THE MANUFACTURING OR MATERIAL THAT WOULD BE A CONTRIBUTING FACTOR IN THE REPORTED ALLEGATION(S). A MANUFACTURING RECORDS EVALUATION (MRE) WAS NOT PERFORMED. IF INFORMATION IS OBTAINED THAT WAS NOT AVAILABLE FOR THE INITIAL MEDWATCH, A FOLLOW-UP MEDWATCH WILL BE FILED AS APPROPRIATE.
