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 evaluation concluded that per complaint details, the patient required a second revision approximately 8 years post first-revision ((b)(6) 2013) due to another dislocation.Responses to the requests for medical documentation were not provided; therefore, the root cause of the reported event could not be definitively concluded.The patient impact beyond the reported dislocation and subsequent revision could not be further assessed.No further medical assessment could be rendered at this time.Should additional 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.At this time, we have no reason to suspect that the product failed to meet any product specifications at the time of manufacture.A review of the risk management file and instructions for use documents revealed this failure mode and potential harm was previously identified.Possible causes could include but not limited to traumatic injury, patient anatomy or abnormal loading of limb.Based on this investigation, the need for corrective action is not indicated.Without the return of the actual product involved or product information, 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.
