Correction - d1, h6 (results code and conclusion code).The reported event could be confirmed, based on available information and medical expert opinion.The device inspection was not possible as the product was not returned for investigation.The device history record could not be reviewed because the affected device was not returned, and the lot number was not communicated.A review of the labeling did not indicate any abnormalities.Upon further investigation of the ct scans by healthcare professionals the following was observed: "implant removed due to hematogenic infection (bacteria from another infection site in the body carried by the bloodstream to the implant).This is a patient related issue, no a device related issue." based on investigation, the root cause was attributed to a patient related issue.The failure was caused by hematogenic infection.If device is returned or any further information is provided, the investigation report will be reassessed.
