H3, h6: the devices were not returned for evaluation; therefore, a device analysis could not be performed.A review of the production orders did not reveal a manufacturing abnormality that could have caused or contributed to the reported incident.A review of complaint history for the part numbers over the past 12 months and for the batch numbers based on historical data of the device did not reveal similar events for the listed device.A review of the instructions for use documents for total hip systems reveals in the warnings and precautions section that range of motion should be thoroughly assessed for early impingement or joint instability.Postoperative instability is a leading complication associated with revision surgery and may result in additional surgery.A review of the risk management files 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 products and event.At this time, we have no evidence to conclude that the products failed to meet any specifications at the time of manufacture.Factors that could contribute to the reported event include joint laxity or patient condition.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.
