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, no clinical/ medical records were received for this complaint.However, the reported patient fall cannot be ruled out as a contributing factor to the femoral fracture and subsequent revision.The patient impact beyond the revision and expected transient post-op convalescence period cannot be determined.No further clinical assessment is warranted at this time.A complaint history review found related failures for the listed device; 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.Some potential probable causes for this event could include but not limited to traumatic injury or excessive forces applied to implant.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.
