H3, h6: 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 underwent revision due to pain and ¿lysis¿ approximately 18 ½ years post implantation.It was communicated that the requested medical documentation was not available for inclusion in the medical investigation.The current patient status remains unknown; however, a revision of a prosthetic component nearing two decades in-vivo would not be an unexpected event.Based on the limited information provided, the root cause and patient impact beyond that which was in the complaint could neither be confirmed nor evaluated further.Should clinically relevant documentation/information and/or relevant product evaluation results become available, the clinical/medical task may be re-evaluated.No further medical assessment could be rendered at this time.A complaint history review found related failures; 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.At this time, we have no reason to suspect that the product failed to meet any product specifications at the time of manufacture.Possible causes could include but not limited to traumatic injury, joint tightness, material in use, patient reaction or loss of sterility.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.
