B2: outcomes attributed to adverse event.Section h3, h6: the device was not returned for evaluation and the reported event could not be confirmed.The clinical/medical investigation concluded that, although no clinical medical records were provided, it was reported the revision was due to an infection.It cannot be concluded there was a mal performance of the implant.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 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 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 total hip systems revealed 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 review of the sterilization records revealed the batch was sterilized within normal parameters.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 loss of sterility during procedure, patient reaction, and post-operative healing issue.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.We consider this investigation closed.
