H3, h6: given the nature of the alleged incident, the device, could not be returned for evaluation.The clinical/medical investigation concluded that, acute blood loss anemia is a known risk of any surgery and is related to the surgical procedure and not the device.Therefore, it cannot be concluded the acute blood loss anemia was related to the implant.The patient impact was noted as recovered/resolved.No further assessment is warranted at this time.A review of the production order did not reveal a manufacturing abnormality that could have caused or contributed to the reported incident.A review of complaint history for the part number over the past 12 months and for the batch number based on historical data of the device did not reveal similar events for the listed device.A review of the instructions for use documents for total hip systems revealed in warnings and precautions that the patient should be advised to report any unusual incidences.Position changes in the components may compromise the durability of the implants.A review of the risk management file revealed this failure mode was previously identified.The anticipated risk level is still adequate.A historical review concluded that there are no prior actions related to this product and event.At this time, we have no reason to suspect that the product failed to meet any specifications at the time of manufacture.Factors that could contribute to the reported event include post-operative healing issue and/or patient condition.Based on this investigation, the need for corrective action is not indicated.Should additional information be received, the complaint will be reopened.No further investigation is warranted for this complaint; however, we will continue to monitor for future complaints and investigate as necessary.We consider this investigation closed.
