Additional Manufacturer Narrative
Section h3, h6: the device was not returned for evaluation; therefore, a device analysis could not be performed.The clinical/medical investigation concluded that, as of the date of this medical investigation, the requested clinical documentation has not been provided; therefore, there were no clinical factors found which would have contributed to the reported adverse event.According to the reported the patient was revised due to liner wear and the surgeon exchanged the device.It was reported the patient¿s current health status is unknown.Therefore, the impact to the patient beyond the reported liner wear and subsequent liner exchange cannot be confirmed nor concluded.Device batch number was not provided, thus, an evaluation of the manufacturing records could not be performed.A review of complaint history for the previous 12 months did not reveal similar events for the listed device.A review of the instructions for use documents for total hip systems revealed that wear of the polyethylene, metal, and ceramic articulating surfaces of acetabular components may occur as an adverse event.Higher rates of wear may be initiated by the presence of particles of cement, metal, or other debris which can develop during or as a result of the surgical procedure and cause abrasion of the articulating surfaces.Higher rates of wear may shorten the useful life of the prosthesis and lead to earlier revision surgery to replace the worn prosthetic components.A review of the risk management file 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.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 friction or joint tightness.Based on this investigation, the need for corrective action is not indicated.Should the device 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.
