Additional information: a2 (date of birth), a3 (gender), d10 (concomitant products added), h6 (component code, type of investigation, investigation findings, investigation conclusions), h8.Results of investigation: the associated device was returned and evaluated.A visual inspection of the returned insert revealed scratches, deep gouges and discoloration on the surface of the device.The device shows signs of wear.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.The clinical/medical evaluation concluded that based on the information provided, four original implant stickers were attached were reviewed.In addition, a statement from the surgeon was provided and reviewed that indicated, the patient was implanted in 2010 with the oxinium genesis ii implant and it functioned will until a year ago when the patient started to complain of discomfort.According the provided surgeon¿s note, an x-ray in (b)(6) 2022, "showed a dislocated poly spacer.The main components of the knee replacement remain satisfactory with no evidence of loosening or infection.However, the provided statement does contribute to the root cause of the reported failure." without the requested patient specific supporting clinical documentation, a thorough medical investigation cannot be rendered nor could a definitive clinical root cause of the reported failure be determined.The impact to the patient beyond that which has already been reported cannot be confirmed nor concluded.Should any additional relevant medical information be reported, this case would be re-assessed.A review of the manufacturing records did not reveal a manufacturing abnormality that could have caused or contributed to the reported incident.At this time, we do not have reason to suspect that the product failed to meet any product specifications at the time of manufacture.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.A review of instructions for use for knee systems revealed in possible adverse effects that dislocation and subluxation can result from trauma, improper implant selection, improper implant positioning, improper fixation, and/or migration of the components.Muscle and fibrous tissue laxity can also contribute to these conditions.Factors that could contribute to the reported event include traumatic injury, patient anatomy or abnormal loading of limb.Based on this investigation, the need for corrective action is not indicated.Should additional information be received, the complaint will be reopened.No further investigation is warranted for this complaint; however, we will continue to monitor future complaints and investigate as necessary.We consider this investigation closed.Corrected data: b3 (occurrence date), b5 (narrative), d9, h3 (device returned to manufacturer), h6 (health effect - clinical code, medical device problem code).
