Manufacturer Narrative

The associated r3 3 hole acetabular shell, r3 20 deg xlpe acetabular liner and cobalt chrome femoral head were not returned for evaluation.A clinical evaluation noted that based on the limited medical information provided and without the return of the explant the root cause of the wearing of the liner could not be concluded but length of time the devices were implanted cannot be ruled out as a factor.The one undated x-ray confirms reported findings and the wearing of the liner.The impact to the patient beyond the revision cannot be concluded.Following the revision it was reported the patient is not experiencing any further issues.After repeated requests, smith and nephew has been unable to obtain device details for the liner and the shell of this complaint.Therefore, a review of device history record and complaint history cannot be completed.Smith and nephew has an outstanding request with the reporter for information.Batch number for the femoral head was provided.A review of the complaint history for the device revealed no prior complaints for the listed failure mode with the same batch number.Without the return of the actual product involved, our investigation of this report is inconclusive.No further investigation is warranted for this complaint; however, smith and nephew will continue to monitor for future complaints and investigate as necessary.Should the device or additional information be received, this complaint will be reopened and reevaluated.We consider this investigation closed.
