Corrected data: b1 (type of event), h6 (health effect - clinical code, type of investigation, investigation findings).Updated results of investigation: given the nature of the alleged incidents, the device could not be returned for evaluation.The clinical/medical investigation concluded that, no relevant supporting clinical information could be provided to assist with this clinical investigation as the data is collected from the national joint registry of the united kingdom.Per case details, no further information is available.Therefore, based on insufficient information, a thorough clinical assessment cannot be performed at this time.The patient current condition is unknown, and the patient impact beyond the reported events could not be determined.A review of the production records did not reveal a manufacturing abnormality that could contribute to the reported event.A review of complaint history of the previous 12 months did not reveal similar events for the listed device.The reported adverse event is outlined in the device instructions for use.A review of the risk management files revealed this adverse event was previously identified.The anticipated risk level is still adequate.A historical review concluded that there are no prior actions related to this product and event.A review of the sterilization records for the device with alleged infection revealed that the device was sterilized within normal parameters.At this time, we have no reason to suspect that the product failed to meet any specifications at the time of manufacture.Factors that could contribute to the reported event were attributed to known inherent risks of the device and surgical procedure.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 is warranted for this complaint; however, we will continue to monitor future complaints and investigate as necessary.We consider this investigation closed.
