    THIS REPORT IS BEING SUBMITTED PURSUANT TO THE PROVISIONS OF 21 CFR, PART 803. THIS REPORT MAY BE BASED ON INFORMATION WHICH HAS NOT BEEN INVESTIGATED OR VERIFIED PRIOR TO THE REQUIRED REPORTING DATE. THIS REPORT DOES NOT REFLECT A CONCLUSION BY DEPUY SYNTHES, OR ITS EMPLOYEES THAT THE REPORT CONSTITUTES AN ADMISSION THAT THE PRODUCT, DEPUY SYNTHES, 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 REPORT, A FOLLOW-UP REPORT WILL BE FILED AS APPROPRIATE. H11 ADDITIONAL NARRATIVE: AS OF THIS DATE, THE DEVICE HAS NOT BEEN RETURNED FOR EVALUATION; THEREFORE, THE REPORTED CONDITION CANNOT BE CONFIRMED AND/OR DUPLICATED, AND NO CONCLUSION CAN BE DRAWN AT THIS TIME. ACCORDING TO THE INFORMATION RECEIVED: ¿ANCHOR PULLED OUT. IT WAS REPORTED THAT DURING THE SURGERY, THE ANCHOR WAS PULLED OUT (AS THE PHOTO SHOWS). ANOTHER DEVICE WAS USED TO COMPLETE THE SURGERY. THERE WERE NO ADVERSE CONSEQUENCES TO THE PATIENT. NO ADDITIONAL INFORMATION COULD BE PROVIDED. THE PRODUCT HAS NOT RETURNED TO DEPUY SYNTHES, HOWEVER A PHOTO WAS PROVIDED FOR EVALUATION. VISUAL INSPECTION OF THE RETURNED PHOTO FOUND THE ANCHOR AND SUTURE DETACHED FROM THE INSERTER. THE ANCHOR SHOWS TRACES OF BEING PULLED OUT OF THE BONE. NO OTHER ANOMALIES COULD BE OBSERVED. THE OVERALL COMPLAINT WAS CONFIRMED AS THE OBSERVED CONDITION OF THE GRYPHON P BR DS ANCHOR W/OC WOULD HAVE CONTRIBUTED TO THE COMPLAINED DEVICE ISSUE. BASED ON THE INVESTIGATION FINDINGS, THE POSSIBLE ROOT CAUSE CAN BE ASSOCIATED WITH OFF AXIS INSERTION AND LEVERING DURING INSERTION AND SUB-CONSEQUENTLY LED THE ANCHOR TO BREAK/DAMAGE. AS PER IFU-109363, 1) DEPUY MITEK ANCHORS ARE DESIGNED TO LOCK INTO CORTICAL OR CANCELLOUS BONE. BONE STOCK MUST BE ADEQUATE TO ALLOW PROPER AND SECURE ANCHOR PLACEMENT.

PROPERLY HANDLING AND¿ATTENTION TO THE APPROVED USE OF THE DEVICE DIMINISHES THE RISK OF FAILURE. 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 DEPUY SYNTHES 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. DOCUMENT SPECIFICATION REVIEW: IFU-109363.
