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. A PRODUCT INVESTIGATION WAS CONDUCTED. VISUAL INSPECTION OF THE COMPLAINED SCREWS SHOWS THAT ALL OF THEM ARE ABSOLUTELY INTACT. NO PRODUCT FAILURE CAN BE IDENTIFIED. THE SCREWS RECEIVED ARE NOT BROKEN AS COMPLAINED. THE RECEIVED CONDITION OF THE COMPLAINED DEVICES DO NOT AGREE WITH THE COMPLAINT DESCRIPTION. THEREFORE, THIS COMPLAINT IS NOT CONFIRMED. DUE TO THE FACT AS NO PRODUCT PROBLEM COULD BE IDENTIFIED AND THE COMPLAINT CANNOT BE REPLICATED, NO FURTHER INVESTIGATIONS ARE REQUIRED. NO PRODUCT FAULT COULD BE IDENTIFIED. BASED ON THE INVESTIGATION FINDINGS, IT HAS BEEN DETERMINED THAT NO CORRECTIVE AND/OR PREVENTATIVE ACTION IS PROPOSED. DEVICE WAS USED FOR TREATMENT, NOT DIAGNOSIS. IF INFORMATION IS OBTAINED THAT WAS NOT AVAILABLE FOR THE INITIAL MEDWATCH, A FOLLOW-UP MEDWATCH WILL BE FILED AS APPROPRIATE.
