Additional Manufacturer Narrative

H6: the device, used in treatment, was not returned for evaluation.Therefore, product analysis could not be performed at this time.So the reported event could not be confirmed.A medical investigation was conducted and confirms this case reports a revision was performed to exchange the poly insert, due to dissociation with the tibial baseplate.Per email communication, the requested surgical reports and x-rays are not available.Without supporting relevant documentation a thorough medical investigation cannot be performed.Therefore, the patient impact beyond the revision cannot 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 review of complaint history did not reveal additional complaints for the listed batch.A review of the manufacturing records did not reveal a manufacturing abnormality that could have caused or contributed to the reported incident.A review of risk management files and instructions for use found that the reported failure was documented appropriately.Possible causes could include but not limited to traumatic injury, surgical technique or size of device.At this time, we have no reason to suspect that the product failed to meet any product specifications at the time of manufacture.Based on this investigation, the need for corrective action is not indicated.Without the actual product involved and/or device information, our investigation cannot proceed.If the device or new information is received in the future, this complaint can be re-opened.No further actions are being taken at this time.We consider this investigation closed.
