(b)(4) - final report.Additional information, including post primary and pre revision x-rays, operative notes, patient age and activity level, patient medical history, a recent update on the patient and the reference and lots of the devices has been requested in order to progress with the investigation of this event.Partial information was provdided.The appropriate device details were provided, and the relevant device manufacturing records have been identified and reviewed.All parts associated with these records were manufactured, packaged, and sterilised to the correct specifications at the time of manufacture.The patient medical records were provided.It confirmed the patient statement to the reporter about the revision.Infections are generally linked to patient characteristics, length of surgical procedure, length of hospital stay, and factors related to the operative environment (including the number of personnel in the operating room and potential contamination of equipment or instrumentation).All invasive procedures involve contact by a medical device or surgical instrument with a patient's sterile tissue or mucous membranes.A major risk of all such procedures is the introduction of pathogens that can lead to infection.Failure to properly disinfect or sterilize equipment carries not only the risk associated with breach of host barriers but also a risk for person-to-person transmission and transmission of environmental pathogens.The cleaning method, the sterilization method and sterile barrier system used to package cormet devices has a long history of safe and effective use at corin for a wide range of orthopedic devices and has been validated in accordance with the relevant standards.Infection is a known complication with any invasive surgery procedure and the incident rate is followed by performing trending on reported events.Based on the above, no further investigation can be conducted, and the root cause of the reported infection could not be determined.The submission of this report does not constitute and admission that the device, reporting entity, entity's representative or distributor caused or contributed to this event.
