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 investigation concluded that, per complaint details, approximately 1.5 years post tha, the patient underwent a revision due to recurrent dislocations post relocations (reductions) x 2.Reportedly, the stem was well fixed; however, ¿the surgeon felt like the cup was malposition¿.It was communicated that the requested op notes and x-rays were not available for inclusion in the medical investigation.Based on the information provided, the reported malpositioned cup could not be ruled out as a potential contributing factor to the reported events, although the definitive root cause could not be concluded.The patient impact beyond the reported dislocations, reduction, and head/liner/shell revision could not be determined.No further medical assessment could be rendered 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 for any necessary corrective actions.A review of the risk management file and instructions for use documents revealed this failure mode was previously identified.At this time, we have no reason to suspect that the product failed to meet any product specifications at the time of manufacture.Possible causes could include but not limited to traumatic injury, patient anatomy, abnormal loading of limb, fit/ sizing issue or poor insertion technique.Based on this investigation, the need for corrective action is not indicated.Without the return of the actual product involved, 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.
