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, the patient required an insert revision approximately 2 years post implantation due to laxity.Reportedly, the patella was also resurfaced during this procedure, as it was not performed during the primary tka, and does not represent a mal-performance of any tka component.Responses to the clinical documentation/information requests were not provided.Based on the limited information, the root cause of the reported laxity and subsequent insert revision could not be determined.Patient impact beyond the reported laxity and revision could not be fully assessed.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 review of the manufacturing records did not reveal a manufacturing abnormality that could have caused or contributed to the reported incident.A review of complaint history did not reveal additional complaints for the listed batch.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.Factors and/or some potential probable causes that could contribute to the reported event have been identified as abnormal motion over time, bone degeneration, fit/sizing issue, lack of ingrowth, lifetime of device, and/or traumatic injury.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.
