Additional Manufacturer Narrative
H3, h6: the device, used in treatment, was not returned for evaluation and the reported event could not be confirmed.The clinical/medical evaluation concluded that per the complaint details, a revision surgery was performed approximately 12 years post implantation s/p a "fall" and was non-weight bearing.Reportedly, the cup was noted to be loosened intraoperatively.It was communicated that the requested medical documentation has not been consented for release.S+n has not received the device and/or adequate documentation to fully evaluate the root cause of the reported events; however, the reported fall could not be ruled out as a possible contributing factor.The patient impact beyond the reported non-weight-bearing and revision could not be determined.No further medical assessment is warranted at this time.Should clinically relevant documentation/information become available, the clinical/medical task may be re-evaluated.A complaint history review found related failures; this failure mode will be monitored for future complaints and assessed for any necessary corrective actions.At this time, we have no reason to suspect that the product failed to meet any product specifications at the time of manufacture.A review of the risk management file and instructions for use documents revealed this failure mode and potential harm was previously identified.Factors and/or some potential probable causes that could contribute to the reported event have been identified as but not limited to abnormal motion over time, bone degeneration, design of device, fit/sizing, lack of ingrowth, lifetime of device, and traumatic injury.Based on this investigation, the need for corrective action is not indicated.Without the return of the actual product involved or product information, our investigation could not proceed.Should the device 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.
