H3, h6: the devices were not returned for evaluation; therefore, a device analysis could not be performed.The clinical/medical investigation concluded that, the requested clinical documentation has not been provided; therefore, there were no clinical factors found which would have definitively contributed to the event.The patient impact beyond the reported infection and subsequent second revision cannot be determined.The patient¿s current health status is unknown.Therefore, no further clinical/medical assessment can be rendered at this time.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 device did not reveal similar events for the listed device.A review of the instructions for use documents for knee systems revealed that acute post-surgical wound infection has been identified in possible adverse effects.Active, local infection or previous intra-articular infections are identified in contraindications for total knee replacement.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 this product and event.A review of the sterilization records revealed the batch was sterilized within normal parameters.At this time, we have no reason to suspect that the product failed to meet any 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.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.
