Manufacturer Narrative

Product complaint # (b)(4).Investigation summary : on (b)(6) 2021, the patient had a revision left total hip to address mechanical complication of left hip prosthesis.The indications for surgery included, symptoms consistent with metallosis and excessive wear.During the procedure, the surgeon observed gross black tissue staining and a pseudotumor.The surgeon noted that the polyethylene shell completely broken free of the liner and the head was articulating with the cup.There was a large amount of titanium wear debris in the shell.The depuy acetabular cup was retained and the surgeon elected to use a bur to roughen the undersurface of the cup.The surgeon then roughened up the back of the new cup and cemented the competitor cup into the retained depuy cup.The stem, head, and acetabular liner were removed.Competitor components were implanted during this procedure.Doi:(b)(6) 2012 dor: (b)(6) 2021 (left hip).The product was not returned to depuy synthes, however radiological images were provided for review.The radiological images were reviewed, however they do not represent the reported complaint condition.The images show the competitors components that were implanted during the revision.Due to the radiopacity of the radiological images it is not possible to identify if there are two cups implanted on the left side of the hip.As per the acetabular cup's instruction for use (ifu-0902-00-701 rev.T), implants and trials components from different manufacturers or implant systems should never be used together.Additionally, single use devices manufactured by depuy have not been designed to undergo or withstand any form of alteration, such as disassembly, cleaning or re-sterilization, after a single patient use.Do not alter or modify implants in any way.No additional information was provided to confirm if the acetabular cup was altered to be assemble with a competitors cup.Therefore, no conclusion can be drawn and no further investigation is required since the implant was not returned for evaluation.A manufacturing record evaluation was performed for the finished device [121731052 / 120770b] number, and no non-conformances / manufacturing irregularities related to the malfunction were identified during manufacturing.Based on the available information, the reported off label allegation was confirmed since it was reported that the inner surface of the pinn 100 w/gription 52mm was altered.Based on the investigation findings, it has been determined that no corrective and/or preventative action is proposed.There is no indication that a design or manufacturing issue has caused the reported complaint condition.As part of depuy synthes quality process, all devices are manufactured, inspected, and released to approved specifications.Additional monitoring for any potential safety signals will be conducted through complaint trending and other post-market safety surveillance activities.Device history lot : a manufacturing record evaluation was performed for the finished device [121731052 / 120770b] number, and no non-conformances / manufacturing irregularities related to the malfunction were identified during manufacturing.
