    Additional Manufacturer Narrative · 1

    THE COMPLAINT NOTIFICATION ASSOCIATED WITH THIS DEVICE DESCRIBED THAT ONE SCREW IN THE KNEE JOINT IS MISSING. THE USER DID NOT FALL, NO SERIOUS INJURIES WERE SUSTAINED AS A RESULT OF THE FAILURE AND NO MEDICAL TREATMENT WAS REQUIRED. THE EVALUATION OF THIS SPECIFIC DEVICE WAS CONDUCTED AT THE MANUFACTURER'S AFTER SALES SERVICE CENTER ON (B)(6) 2017. AFTER EVALUATION WE FOUND THAT BOTH BOLTS IN THE UPPER POSTERIOR SECTION OF THE KNEE JOINT ARE LOOSE. DUE TO FURTHER USAGE OF THE KNEE JOINT WITH LOOSENED BOLTS THE FRONT LINKAGE AND UPPER PART OF THE KNEE JOINT WERE DAMAGED. AN EXACT REASON FOR THE LOOSENING OF THE BOLT COULD NOT BE DETERMINED. IN THIS SPECIFIC CASE THE FAILURE DID NOT LEAD TO A FALL AND/OR SERIOUS INJURY, BUT IT COULD CAUSE OR CONTRIBUTE TO A SERIOUS INJURY IF IT WERE TO RECUR. THEREFORE, WE REPORT THIS FAILURE ACCORDING TO GUIDANCE FOR INDUSTRY AND FDA STAFF ON "MDR FOR MANUFACTURERS" CHAPTER 2.15.
