H3, h6: the devices were not returned for evaluation; therefore, a device analysis could not be performed.The clinical/medical investigation concluded that, without the requested patient specific supporting documentation, a thorough medical investigation cannot be performed.The definitive root cause and/or patient impact beyond the reported arthrofibrosis and the two revisions documented in the complaint cannot be confirmed nor concluded.Therefore, no further clinical/medical assessment is warranted.Should any additional relevant medical information be provided, this case would be re-assessed.A review of the production orders did not reveal a manufacturing abnormality that could have caused or contributed to the reported incident.A review of complaint history for the part numbers over the past 12 months and for the batch numbers based on historical data of the devices did not reveal similar events for the listed devices.A review of the instructions for use for knee systems revealed that the correct selection of the implant has been identified in warnings and precautions.The appropriate type and size should be selected for patients with consideration of anatomical and biomechanical factors.A review of the risk management files 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 these products and event.At this time, we have no reason to suspect that the products failed to meet any product specifications at the time of manufacture.With the results of this investigation the root cause of this event could not be determined.Factors that could contribute to the reported event include post-operative patient condition.Based on this investigation, the need for corrective action is not indicated.Should the devices 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.
