Manufacturer Narrative

It was reported that the patient presented a dislocation of the thr, feeling a slipping sensation in certain positions.The affected complaint device, used in treatment, was not returned for evaluation.Therefore a product analysis could not be performed.Our investigation including a review of the manufacturing records for the listed batch did not reveal any deviation from the standard manufacturing processes.A review of the complaint history for the listed part revealed no prior complaints for the listed failure mode.At this time, we have no reason to suspect that the product failed to meet any product specifications at the time of manufacture.A review of risk management files and the instructions for use found that the reported failure was documented appropriately.A medical analysis noted that upon presentation for the mua/revision tha the hip couldn¿t dislocate until bringing in x-ray and leveraging against contralateral thigh, as the ¿thigh habitus was impinging and acting as a fulcrum to lever hip out¿.The revision was concluded with the hood of liner positioned laterally for extra coverage per product complaint form.Responses to clinical documentation/information requests were not provided; therefore, the root cause of the dislocation and subsequent revision could not be definitively concluded.However, the reported body habitus and ¿certain positions¿ could not be ruled out as potential contributing factors.Based on this investigation, the need for corrective action is not indicated.No further investigation is warranted for this complaint; however smith and nephew will continue to monitor for future complaints and investigate as necessary.Should additional information be received, the complaint will be reopened.
