This 66-year-old female patient was revised approximately 11 months after the previous operation.This patient was reported to have been previously revised for infection as well, during which the mpo revision knee implants were implanted.Mpo did not receive any operative notes or other clinical information to confirm the presence of infection.Review of the device history record (dhr) for this lot indicates that this part met all established acceptance criteria throughout manufacturing processes including all aspects related to cleaning and sterility.Furthermore, there are no other reported complaints of infection for this lot, or for other lots sterilized under the same sterilization batches, sbne14210 and sbne10619.Infection is a known possible adverse effect of any surgical procedure and is captured within mpo risk management and relevant knee systems package insert.Conclusions regarding the source of infection or other possible contributing factors cannot be made for this case.Mpo did not identified any trends for these products at the time of this complaint.Mpo will continue to monitor for trends through complaint tracking.
