Additional Manufacturer Narrative
H3, h6: it was reported that revision surgery was performed on the patients right hip.As of today, the devices used in treatment have been requested but have not become available.A review of the historical complaints data for the cup, head, modular sleeve and stem was performed.Using batch numbers to evaluate patterns of repeated failures or defects over the lifetime of the product.No other similar complaints were identified for the head, modular sleeve or stem.Other similar complaints were identified for the cup, this will continue to be monitored.A search was also performed using part numbers, the reported failure modes, and description summary to evaluate patterns of repeated failures or defects in a timeframe of 12 months prior to the date in which the incident was reported.No other similar complaints were identified for the devices.All the released devices involved met manufacturing specifications at the time of production.It was also confirmed that the product met manufacturing sterility requirements upon release for distribution.Review of the product ifu found adequate warnings and precautions in relation to the alleged failure modes.A risk management review was performed for the cup and stem.The alleged failure modes and associated risks have been anticipated within the risk file and the anticipated risk level is still adequate.A risk management was not performed for the head as these devices have been phased out from the market and as a result there is no live risk management file to review.Therefore, an evaluation of failure modes is not required.A review of historic escalation actions related to the products and similar complaint events was performed.Following the review, prior applicable escalation actions were identified and confirmed to reduce associated risks as far as possible; no further escalation actions required.The available medical information was reviewed.The clinical information provided, of the extensive lobulated cystic structure with fluid collection, granulomatous tissue, cloudy fluid, synovitis, and trunnionosis with black staining of the trunnion may be consistent with a reaction to metal debris.However, the source and the root cause cannot be determined with the available documentation.It cannot be concluded that the reported clinical findings are associated with the implant failure.Without additional information we cannot further investigate or confirm the reported complaint.The investigation remains inconclusive, and a definitive root cause cannot be determined.Additionally, specific factors known to contribute to the alleged fault cannot be provided due to the insufficient information.If the products or additional information become available in the future, this case will be reopened.Based on this investigation, the need for corrective or preventative action is not indicated.
