H3, h6: the device was not returned for evaluation; therefore, a device analysis could not be performed.The clinical/medical investigation concluded that, based solely on the component¿s manufacture/expiration dates, the revision was performed at greater than 5 years post implantation.Although late onset infection post-prosthetic implantation is rare, in the absence of the requested medical documentation, clinical factors (and/or source of the infection) which could have contributed to the reported event could not be definitively concluded, and a causal relationship to the reported event could not be confirmed.The patient impact beyond the reported infection, breakage, and revision could not be determined.No further medical assessment can be rendered at this time.A review of the production order did not reveal a manufacturing abnormality that could have caused or contributed to the reported incident.A review of complaint history for the part number over the past 33 months and for the batch number based on historical data of the device did not reveal similar events for the listed device.A review of the instructions for use documents for total hip systems revealed that has been identified as a that infection, both early, post-operative superficial and early, post-operative deep wound infection and late periprosthetic infection has been identified in potential complications associated with total hip arthroplasty surgery, primary or revision section.A review of the risk management file revealed this failure mode 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.Based on the clinical/medical evaluation conclusions, sterilization review was not required.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 include injury, patient condition and/or medical history.Based on this investigation, the need for corrective action is not indicated.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.
