H3, h6: the devices were not returned for evaluation; therefore, devices analysis could not be performed.The clinical/medical investigation concluded that, per complaint details, a revision was performed approximately 13 months post implantation due to an unspecified infection.It was communicated that the details of the primary implantation and laboratory results were not available.Reportedly the whole system was replaced with a new one along with antibiotic cement to help with the infection.Although the current patient status is unknown, reportedly, the patient left the surgical case in good health.Without the requested medical documentation, the source of the reported infection cannot be concluded.The impact to the patient beyond the reported infection and subsequent revision cannot be determined, although adjunctive medication therapy would be anticipated.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 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 femoral component.A review of complaint history revealed a similar event for the listed device over the previous 12 months, but no similar events for the batch based on the historical data for the tibial baseplate, patella and insert.A review of the instructions for use documents for knee systems revealed that acute post-surgical wound infection and local infection or previous intra-articular infections have been identified as possible adverse effects and 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 these products and event.A review of the sterilization records revealed the batches were sterilized within normal parameters.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 injury, patient condition and/or medical history.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.H10 ¿ additional information.D6a- if implanted, give date h11 ¿ corrected data.B2- outcomes attributed to adverse event.D10- concomitant medical products.
