Additional Manufacturer Narrative
H3, h6: the devices were not returned for evaluation.However, the clinical/medical investigation concluded that, he x-ray photos provided and confirm the reported findings of a dislocated bipolar shell.Based on the information provided the reported dislocation was the result of failure to maintain post-operative hip precautions.The patient impact beyond the reported revision could not be determined.No further clinical/medical assessment can be rendered at this time.Should any additional clinical information be provided, this complaint will be re-evaluated.A review of the production orders did not reveal a manufacturing abnormality that could have caused or contributed to the reported incident.For tandem intl bipolar 40od 22id and cocr 12/14 fem head 22 + 0 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.For tc-plus ps solu tibial insert ps 4/11mm a review of complaint history revealed similar events for the listed device over the previous 12 months, but no similar events for the batch based on the historical data, this failure mode will be monitored for future complaints for any necessary corrective actions.For tc-plus ps solu tibial insert ps 4/11mm a review of the instructions for use states joint dislocation as a ¿potential adverse device effect¿ in combination with the implantation of a hip prosthesis.For cocr 12/14 fem head 22 + 0 a review of the instructions for use for total hip systems revealed that dislocation has been identified in warnings and precautions, that may result from improper selection of the neck length and cup, stem positioning, muscle looseness and/or malpositioning of components.For tandem intl bipolar 40od 22id a review of the instructions for use for endoprostheses systems revealed that care must be taken to assess the viability of the acetabular hyaline cartilage and the presence of any irregularity, anomaly, or surface configuration which may predispose to subluxation and/or dislocation of the prosthesis as a warning.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 product failed to meet any specifications at the time of manufacture.Factors that could contribute to the reported event include traumatic injury, patient anatomy, postoperative care or abnormal loading of limb.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.
