Manufacturer Narrative

It was reported that a revision surgery of the constraint liner was performed due to patient dislocated several times.A new constraint liner of the same size was replaced.The associated liner, used in treatment, was not returned for evaluation.Therefore a product analysis could not be performed.After repeated requests, smith and nephew has been unable to obtain device information.As device details were not made available, device history record and complaint history review cannot be completed.There is no information that would suggest the device failed to meet specifications.A relationship, if any, between the device and the reported incident or adverse event could not be corroborated at this time.No medical documents were received for investigation.Therefore no medical assessment can be performed at this time.Per our risk management file, possible causes of dislocation could include but not limited to traumatic injury, patient anatomy or abnormal loading of limb.Based on this investigation, the need for corrective action is not indicated.Without the return of the actual product involved, our investigation of this report is inconclusive.No further investigation is warranted for this complaint; however we will continue to monitor for future complaints and investigate as necessary.Should additional information be received, the complaint will be reopened.
