Additional Manufacturer Narrative
Section h10: the device was not returned for evaluation and the reported event could not be confirmed.The clinical/medical investigation concluded that without the requested medical documentation, possible clinical factors which could have contributed to the reported event could not be definitively concluded.The patient impact beyond that which was reported could not be determined.No further medical assessment can be rendered at this time.A review of the manufacturing records 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 12 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 knee systems revealed in possible adverse effects that wear of the polyethylene articulating surfaces of knee replacement components has been reported following total knee replacement.Higher rates of wear may be initiated by particles of cement, metal, or other debris which can cause abrasion of the articulating surfaces.Higher rates of wear may shorten the useful life of the prosthesis, and lead to early revision surgery to replace the worn prosthetic components.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.At this time, we have no reason to suspect that the product failed to meet any product specifications at the time of manufacture.Factors that could contribute to the reported event include friction or joint tightness.The contribution of the device to the reported event could not be corroborated.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.Internal complaint reference number: (b)(4).
