The affected complaint devices, used in treatment, were not returned for evaluation and the reported events could not be confirmed.The clinical/medical investigation concluded that smith and nephew has not received patient specific documentation, the explanted device, and/or adequate materials to fully evaluate the root cause of the complaint.Patient impact beyond that which was reported (insert revision) could not be determined.If additional clinically relevant materials are later received, then the case may be re-opened for further evaluation.At this time, we have no reason to suspect that the products failed to meet any product specifications at the time of manufacture.A complaint history review found related failures for the listed device; 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.Without sufficiently relevant information about alleged faults or malfunctions, no probable causes can be delineated at this time.Based on this investigation, the need for corrective action is not indicated.Without the return of the actual products involved, our investigation could not proceed.Should the devices 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.
