H3, h6: although the involvement of all the devices was reported, the relationship with the investigated failure was directly associated to the redapt stem.Given the nature of the alleged incident, the device could not be returned for evaluation; therefore, a device analysis could not be performed.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 the warnings and precautions section that congenital deformity, improper implant selection, improper broaching or reaming, osteoporosis, bone defects due to misdirected reaming, trauma, strenuous activity, improper implant alignment or placement, patient non compliance, etc.Can increase risk of femoral or pelvic fractures.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 evidence to conclude that the product failed to meet any specifications at the time of manufacture.Factors that could contribute to the reported event include patient bone quality and/or surgical technique.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.
