G3, h2,h3 and 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, it was reported that the patient presented with left knee lateral femoral and tibial osteophytes at the 2-year follow-up visit (ae#2).Per the datafax #157, plate #100, dated 05/18/2021, the mild event was possibly related to the study device and/or procedure, the event is ongoing with no actions/treatment initiated at that time and the patient outcome is unknown.No other radiological observations were made per the documentation.Oa is a known risk factor osteophyte formation, and although not specified on the relevant medical history, the patient has a surgical history of bilateral knee and uni-hip replacements.Based on the information provided, the clinical root cause could not be definitively concluded.The patient impact beyond the reported osteophyte formation at the 2-year follow-up could not be determined.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 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 overuse or excessive pressure on the joint, injury, inflammation, surgical complication and/or patient condition.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.D10: add concomitants.
