Additional Manufacturer Narrative
|
|
The reported event could be confirmed, based on available ct scans and healthcare expert opinion.The device inspection was not possible as the product was not returned for investigation.A review of the device history for the reported lot did not indicate any abnormalities.No corrective actions are required at this time.No indications of material, manufacturing or design related problems were found during the investigation.A review of the labeling did not indicate any abnormalities.Upon further investigation of the ct scans by healthcare professionals the following was observed tibial (construct):there is radiolucence and there are large cysts around the tibial tray.The implant is loosened and posteriorly dislocated/migrated proximally.Pe: the pe is not separated from the tibial component.There is no clear sign of loosening or breakage.Talar (construct): the talar component shows radiolucence and the component seems posteriorly dislocated.Therefore, loosening and migration seem likely.Full tar (construct): there is a little chance, that the talar implant was already positioned so far posterior-at least the hcp does not refer to a loosening of the talar component, but in my opinion the component is secondarily dislocated.Based on investigation, the root cause was attributed to a patient related issue.The failure is detected by the radiolucence and large cyst around both tibial and talar components.If device is returned or any further information is provided, the investigation report will be reassessed.
