(b)(4).As the product has not been received, the investigation was limited to the information provided; a review of device history records and complaint history.We have not been provided with x-rays or any supporting documentation which could provide additional information.A review of the manufacturing history records confirms no abnormalities or deviations reported.A review of the complaint database over the last 3 years has found 8 similar complaints reported with the item 159576(including initiating complaint).Without the opportunity to examine the complaint product, root cause cannot be determined due to insufficient information.Risk assessment: - this event resulted in revision surgery approximately 11 years and 6 months following implantation.-this gives a severity score of 3.-the severity score is in line with the risk file.Occurrence assessment: -date: 01 jan 2017 to 28 feb 2021 (most up to date sales data): 27,342 items sold.-number of similar complaints identified: 8 -occurrence ratio: 8: 27,342 = 1: 3,418 -this gives an occurrence score of 3.As the hazard for the identified complaints has not been determined, it is not reasonable to assign all events to the same line in the risk file, therefore, the calculated occurrence rate and occurrence score can not be used for comparison with the risk file, and no issue with the occurrence rate/score has been identified.The severity of the reported event is in line with the risk file, and no issues with the calculated occurrence for all similar events in the last 3 years has been identified.No corrective or preventive actions are deemed necessary at this time.If any additional information becomes available, then the complaint will be reopened and investigated thoroughly.
