Additional Manufacturer Narrative
H3, h6: given the nature of the alleged incident, the implant, could not be returned for evaluation.The instrument was not returned for evaluation; therefore, a device analysis could not be performed.The clinical/medical investigation concluded that, the provided x-rays were reviewed and cannot be used to confirm the stem size as they are not originals and do not have reference measurements.The clinical root cause of the reported events cannot be definitively concluded based on the provided information.Procedural variance cannot be ruled out as a possible contributing factor.A review of the production orders did not reveal a manufacturing abnormality that could have caused or contributed to the reported incident.For anthology so porous size 3 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.For anthology std broach size 3 a review of complaint history for the previous 12 months did not reveal similar events for the listed device.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.For anthology so porous size 3 according to the inspection drawing, final inspection includes checking part geometries such as stem length and height for size verification with appropriate instrumentation.For anthology std broach size 3 according to inspection procedure, parts should be measured with a caliper and their configuration should be compared to print and routing.At this time, we have no reason to suspect that the products failed to meet any specifications at the time of manufacture.Factors that could contribute to the reported event include surgical technique used or user/procedural variance.Based on this investigation, the need for corrective action is not indicated.Should the instrument 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.
