The devices were not returned for evaluation; therefore, devices analysis could not be performed.The clinical/medical investigation concluded that, approximately four months post total knee arthroplasty, the patient had a first stage revision surgery in which the implants were removed and an antibiotic cement spacer was implanted due to sepsis.As of the date of this medical investigation, the requested clinical documentation has not been provided for evaluation.Therefore, there were no clinical factors found which would have contributed to the reported sepsis.The patient impact beyond the that which has already been reported cannot be determined with the limited information.However, it was reported the patient¿s current health status is healthy and the second stage revision is scheduled for september 5, 2023.A review of the production orders 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 femoral component.A review of complaint history revealed a similar event for the insert and the tibial baseplate over the previous 12 months, but no similar events for the batch based on the historical data.A review of complaint history revealed similar events for the patella over the previous 12 months, but no similar events for the batch based on the historical data.A review of the instructions for use documents for knee systems revealed acute post-surgical wound infection and local infection or previous intra-articular infections, this has been identified as possible adverse effects and contraindications for total knee replacement.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.A review of the sterilization records revealed the batches were sterilized within normal parameters.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 loss of sterility during procedure, post-operative healing issue, injury, patient condition and/or medical history.Based on this investigation, the need for corrective action is not indicated.Should the devices or 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.
