Additional Manufacturer Narrative
It was reported that the patient experienced elevated serum cobalt and chromium levels, osteolysis of the posterior femoral neck and extensive pseudotumor formation around the capsule and femoral neck.A revision surgery was performed on (b)(6) 2021 to treat this adverse event.Intraoperatively, there were cysts extending centrally to the floor of the acetabulum and anteriorly into the pubis with a large defect in the posterior wall.The devices, used in treatment, were not returned for analysis.A review of the historical complaints data for the devices concerned was performed using batch numbers to evaluate patterns of repeated failures or defects over the lifetime of the product and using part numbers and the reported failure modes to evaluate patterns of repeated failures or defects in a timeframe prior 12 months as of the complaint aware date.One other complaint was identified involving the acetabular cup batch.No complaints involved the femoral head batch.Other similar complaints were identified for both part numbers and the reported failure mode.This will continue to be monitored.In the absence of the actual devices, the production records were reviewed for the devices reportedly involved in this incident.All released devices involved met manufacturing specifications 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.The alleged failure modes and associated risks have been anticipated within the risk file and the anticipated risk level is still adequate.A review of historic escalation actions related to the products and similar complaint events was performed.Following the review, no prior applicable escalation actions were identified.The clinical information provided, of gray-tinged joint fluid and soft tissue, pseudotumor, and osteolysis 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.Based on the available information we can confirm the reported complaint, however without further information our investigation remains inconclusive, and a definitive root cause cannot be determined.Specific factors known to contribute to the alleged fault are excessive physical activity levels, unreasonable stress on replacement system, excessive patient weight, trauma to the joint replacement, loosening of components may increase production of wear particles and accelerate damage to the bone.Should the devices or additional information be received, the complaint will be reopened.Based on this investigation, the need for corrective and preventative actions is not indicated.
