This report is being submitted to relay additional information and device evaluation.The following sections are being reported: h3: device evaluated by manufacturer was updated.H6: type of investigation codes were added: 4109, 4111 and 3331.H6: investigation findings code was added: 213.H6: investigation conclusions code was added: 4310.Zimvie received the reported implant for evaluation.Visual evaluation was performed, there was signs of use with bone debris on the external threads.No malfunctions detected that could lead to reported event.Dhr review was completed for the subject lot number 2022041062.No deviations or non-conformances, which could have caused or contributed to the reported event, were noted as part of the dhr.Complaint history review was performed for the reported lot number 2022041062 for similar events and no other complaint was identified.Based on the investigation and risk management file review, the most likely root cause determined from the investigation was missing or confusing instructions for use or inadequate treatment planning.Therefore, based on the available information, device malfunction did not occur.No damage to the implant was identified.The reported event was non-verifiable.No further investigation or immediate capa / hhe/d escalation is required, as the complaint investigation did not confirm the products were nonconforming at the time of distribution, and no new failure mode, harm, or hazardous situation was identified through the investigation performed.A summary investigation has been completed for bone loss events recognizing that a definitive root cause cannot be identified due to a wide range of external factors (non-design or manufacturing related), including medical conditions (e.G., diabetes, poor bone quality, etc.) / patient habits (e.G., smoking) and surgical technique.Previously completed investigations for bone loss have not identified any signals indicating potential non-conformances affecting the manufacturing and sterilization processes.Furthermore, the probability of manufacturing or design defects that might lead to bone loss and escaping the available detections has been assessed and found remote and almost non-existent.
