D11: concomitant medical products and therapy dates.Section h3, h6: the devices were not returned for evaluation; therefore, a device analysis could not be performed.The clinical/medical investigation concluded that the presence of pseudomonas is highly likely of an exogenous nature and there is no evidence that the chronic infection and subsequent revisions were associated with the implant.The patient impact was the incision and drainage and revisions.No further clinical assessment is warranted at this time.All documents provided as of this date have been reviewed and considered and unless noted do not contribute to the clinical/medical investigation.The insert's specific identifiers were not provided.Therefore, an evaluation of the manufacturing records, complaint history review, risk management file, prior actions and sterilization records review could not be performed.The femoral head's batch number was not provided, thus, an evaluation of the manufacturing records could not be performed.A review of complaint history of the previous 12 months revealed a similar event for the femoral head, this failure mode will be monitored for future complaints for any necessary corrective actions.A review of the instructions for use documents for total hip systems revealed that that infection, both early, post-operative superficial and early, post-operative deep wound infection and late periprosthetic infection has been identified in potential complications associated with total hip arthroplasty surgery, primary or revision section.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.Additionally, since the femoral head's batch number was not provided, a review of the sterilization records could not be performed.At this time, we have no evidence to conclude that the products failed to meet any specifications at the time of manufacture.Factors from an exogenous nature that could contribute to the reported event include loss of sterility during procedure, post-operative healing issue, patient condition and/or medical history.Based on this investigation, the need for corrective action is not indicated.Should the devices 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.H6: health effect - clinical code.
