Manufacturer Narrative

H3, h6: given the nature of the alleged incident, the devices could not be returned for evaluation; therefore, a device analysis could not be performed.The clinical/medical investigation concluded that a review of the documents provided case report forms did not give any insight into the root cause of the reported capsulitis on the right hip that occurred two years following implantation.The requested operative report and radiographic images were not provided for review.Per the provided adverse event form the patient "recovered" following the follow-up procedure.Based on the limited information provided a thorough medical assessment could not be performed.A review of the production orders for the listed devices did not reveal a manufacturing abnormality that could have caused or contributed to the reported incident.A review of complaint history for the part numbers over the past 12 months and for the batch numbers based on historical data of the devices did not reveal similar events for the listed devices.A review of the instructions for use documents for total hip systems revealed in the warnings and precautions that the patient should be advised to report any pain and unusual incidences.A review of the risk management files 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 these products and event.At this time, we have no reason to suspect that the products failed to meet any specifications at the time of manufacture.Factors that could contribute to the reported event include traumatic injury, joint tightness 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.
