Event Description

It was reported that during surgery, the r3 0 degree xlpe acetabular liner 32mm inner diameter x 48mm outer dia did not snap into the cup.A 5 minutes surgical delay occurred due to opening a second implant.The procedure was finished using a smith and nephew back up device without injury to the patient.

Manufacturer Narrative

H3, h6: the device, used in treatment, was returned for evaluation.A visual inspection of the returned device could not confirm the stated failure mode.The liner exhibits deep scratches/deformation on the id and id rim.A review of the 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.At this time, we have no reason to suspect that the product failed to meet any product specifications at the time of manufacture.A dimensional analysis could not be completed due to damage to the liner from attempting to insert it into the shell.Some potential probable causes for this event could include a fit/ sizing issue or poor insertion technique.Based on this investigation, the need for corrective action is not indicated.Should additional information be received, the complaint will be reopened.No further investigation warranted for this complaint; however, we will continue to monitor for future complaints and investigate as necessary.We consider this investigation closed.
