Product complaint # (b)(4).Investigation summary : according to the information received, description: 1.Surgery with novelty since reference cup implant * batch * is removed, acetabular screws length 20 ref * lot *, acetabular screw length 25 ref * lot *, reference insert * lot *, ceramic head reference * lot *, this patient has had several interventions the cup was placed on (date of implantation removed) and was re-operated where the insect and head are placed on the day (date of re-intervention) and today the reintervention is done again because the material generated metallosis and the decision is made to place the cemented cup and the disc insert and head 222,225 +7 johnson , the extracted material is left for study and delivered to the stock manager and the head of centra, photo evidence is sent.The product was not returned to depuy synthes, however photos were provided for review.See attachment sabana chía - 455735- de pérez - pt maría mery vargas pinzon.The photo investigation revealed that the pinnacle bantam acet cup 46mm exhibits a broken condition on one side.The broken fragment was not returned for examination.Also noticeable on the edges of the broken area is a reduction in the internal surface of the cup.It is reasonable to conclude that this was due to wear in that area first, followed by the break.This was caused by the anti rotational devices on the liner being observed detached from the edge, causing a dissociation between the liner and the cup.Additionally, we can conclude that the wear condition in the broken area of the cup was due to the unintended articulation of the head and the cup.With the information provided is not possible to determine a potential cause at this moment, however in support of the evaluation performed, the observed condition of the pinnacle bantam acet cup 46mm may have been caused by exposure to irregularities in the weight loading of the device and moments generated.The mode of failure of the device is multi-factorial and consideration must be given to all other potential influences such as surgical process, patient variables (e.G.Activity level and use), anatomical considerations and patient changes over time.Any conclusions from the investigational input provided have to be placed into context with all other relevant factors.Since the device was not returned, a dimensional inspection cannot be performed.The overall complaint was confirmed as the observed condition of the cup would contribute to the complained device issue.Based on the investigation findings, and it has been determined that no corrective and/or preventative action is proposed.There is no indication that a design or manufacturing issue has caused the complaint condition.As part of depuy synthes quality process, all devices are manufactured, inspected, and released to approved specifications.Additional monitoring for any potential safety signals will be conducted through complaint trending and other post-market safety surveillance activities.Device history lot : a manufacturing record evaluation was performed for the finished device j7365x/121720046 number, and no non-conformances /manufacturing irregularities were identified.
