H3: "device evaluation anticipated, but not yet begun" is erroneous and no longer applies.The device was evaluated.H6: additional method code: 4110.Corrections in h3.Additional information in h6: component, investigation type, findings, and conclusions.Device evaluation: the device was sent to exponent for evaluation.The articulating surface of the polyethylene inserts showed machining marks, pitting and multidirectional scratches consistent with minimal wear.The device components did not have evidence of damage consistent with impingement.Overall, the results of the stage i analysis are consistent with a device having impingement and a short implantation time.Stage iii analysis was conducted to assess the condition of the polyethylene insert.Stage iii analysis found a low (oi < 1) oxidation and mechanical properties consistent with this level of oxidation.No images of the allergic reaction were attached.Root cause: a definitive root cause cannot be determined with the information provided.This event could possibly be attributed to unknown surgical or patient factors.Dhr review: the dhr was reviewed.There are no indications of manufacturing issues which would have contributed to this event and the device was likely conforming when it left highridge medical¿s control.Device usage: this device is used for treatment.If additional information is obtained that adds value to the relevant content of this report, a follow-up report will be sent.
