Manufacturer Narrative

H6: health effect - clinical code and d11: concomitant medical products and therapy dates.Section h3, h6:it was reported that a left hip revision surgery was performed due to chronic pain along with total hip resurfacing system failure.As of today, the implanted devices, all of which were used in treatment have not been returned for evaluation.Without a definitive batch number, a complete review of the historical complaints data cannot be performed for the cup.A review of the historical complaints data for the devices concerned was performed using batch numbers, part numbers and the reported failure modes to evaluate patterns of repeated failures or defects.Similar complaints have been identified for the head, and this failure will continue to be monitored.As no device batch numbers was provided for the cup, so the manufacturing record review could not be performed for it.If more information is received, this investigation will be reopened.In the absence of the actual devices, the production records was reviewed for the head involved in this incident.This device met manufacturing specifications upon release for distribution.The review of the product ifu found adequate warnings and precautions in relation to the alleged failure modes.A risk management review was performed.The alleged failure modes and associated risks have been anticipated within the risk file and the anticipated risk level is still adequate.No further actions are required at this time.A review of historic escalation actions related to the products and similar complaint events was performed.Following the review, no prior applicable escalation actions were identified.The available medical documents were reviewed.The clinical root cause of the reported chronic pain cannot be definitively concluded; however, the significant anterior under coverage and/or retroversion of the acetabular component cannot be ruled out as possible contributing factors.It cannot be concluded the chronic pain and subsequent revision were associated with a mal performance of the implant or implant failure.The patient impact beyond the reported revision cannot be determined with the limited information provided.Based on the information provided, further investigation of the reported complaint cannot be carried out and remains inconclusive.A definitive root cause cannot be determined.Specific factors known to contribute to the alleged fault are excessive physical activity levels, unreasonable stress on replacement system, excessive patient weight, trauma to the joint replacement.Should the devices or additional information be received, the complaint will be reopened.Based on this investigation, the need for corrective and preventative actions is not indicated.
