  • MalfunctionNov 15, 2022Device-Device Incompatibility; Device-Device Incompatibility

    DR USED A LPS DISTAL FEMORAL REPLACEMENT FOR A REVISION OF A PERI PROSTHETIC FRACTURE (NOT A J&J PRODUCT) ON THE (B)(6) 2022. HE USED A LPS DISTAL FEMUR WITH SLEEVE ADAPTOR AND UNIVERSAL STEM AND SLEEVE FOR THE FEMORAL IMPLANT COMBINATION. I HAVE BEEN INFORMED THAT THERE WERE CHALLENGES SEPARATING THE 10MM SLEEVE ADAPTOR FROM THE LPS DISTAL FEMORAL TRIAL DURING KIT DECONTAMINATION, AND THAT THE AFFECTED INSTRUMENTS WERE SENT BACK TO THE WA WAREHOUSE FOR COMPLETE SEPARATION FOLLOWING THE HOSPITALS DECONTAMINATION PROCEDURE. I AM NOW BEING TOLD BY THE WA WAREHOUSE THAT THE 10MM ADAPTOR BOLT IS MISSING, AND THAT IT WAS NEVER RETURNED FROM THE HOSPITAL WHICH CONTRADICTS THE COMPLAINT OF THE ADAPTOR BOLT BEING STUCK IN THE TRIAL FEMUR. THERE HAS BEEN A COMPLETE SEARCH OF THE HOSPITAL SSD AND THE "MISSING" ADAPTOR CAN NOT BE LOCATED THERE. THE WA WAREHOUSE RECEIVABLES TEAM NEED TO DO A FULL SEARCH OF THE RETURNS AREA OR PC INSTRUMENT HOLD AREA FOR THESE PRODUCTS FOR FURTHER FOLLOW UP.
