Additional Manufacturer Narrative
The reason for this revision surgery was reported as an infection.The previous surgery and the surgery detailed in this event occurred 33 days apart.The healthcare professional indicated there was no delay in surgery and another suitable device was available for use.The revision surgery was completed as intended.The device was disposed of at hospital and not made available to djo surgical for examination.A review of the device history record (dhr) shows that the reported component used in the previous surgery, when released for use, met design and manufacturing requirements.There was no non-conforming material report (ncmr) associated with the product that may have contributed to the reported event.The device was verified to have gone through an acceptable sterilization process and was within its expiration date at the time of the previous surgery.Customer complaint history of the reported device showed no present trends or on-going issues that are needing a review.The root cause of this complaint was reported as an infection.There were no findings during this evaluation that indicate the reported device(s) was the source or had a direct connection with the patient's infection.No information was submitted with the complaint regarding pre-existing conditions of the patient or any activities the patient was involved in that may have contributed to the possible infection or inhibited the patient's immune system.Due to the short time between the original surgery and the revision, it is possible that the infection was acquired in the hospital (nosocomial).It is also possible that the patient was not compliant with post surgical instructions.There are multiple factors that may contribute to an infection that are outside the control of djo surgical.There are no indications of a product or process issue affecting implant safety or effectiveness.
