Product complaint # (b)(4).Investigation summary: this is the second revision of this acetabulum; the first procedure was reported with (b)(4).The polyethylene liner became dissociated from the pinnacle sector cup in that instance, and the same has happened here.There is thought that there may be something wrong with the interface between the liner and the cup.I have requested that the liner and cup be decontaminated and available to be sent for inspection.The sector cup was explanted and revised with a pinnacle multihole cup and 40mm liner.The product was returned to depuy synthes for evaluation.Visual analysis of the returned device found that the pinn sector w/gription 58mm has signs of organic material adhered to the outer fixation surface.Additionally signs of metal wear were observed at the articulating surface most likely caused by being in contact with the femoral head.Based on this finding and the observations of the returned liner it is reasonable to conclude that a disassociation event occurred between the liner and the acetabular cup.There is no indication that a design or manufacturing issue has caused or contributed to the reported event.Although the acetabular cup failure cannot be traced to design or manufacturing, a definite root cause cannot be established due to there being multiple factors that may contributed.Consideration must be given to all 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.It is highly recommended to the patient to consult with their healthcare professional for further assessment.A manufacturing record evaluation was performed for the finished device [121732058/4093082] number, and no non-conformances / manufacturing irregularities were identified during manufacturing.The overall complaint was confirmed as the observed condition of the pinn sector w/gription 58mm would have contribute to the complained device issue.Based on the investigation findings, 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 reported 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 activitie.Device history lot: a manufacturing record evaluation was performed for the finished device [121732058/4093082] number, and no non-conformances / manufacturing irregularities were identified during manufacturing.Device history review: a manufacturing record evaluation was performed for the finished device [121732058/4093082] number, and no non-conformances / manufacturing irregularities were identified during manufacturing.
