Additional Manufacturer Narrative

According to our dhrs no pre-existing anomalies were detected on the involved lot: 2323150 - ster.2300246.Based on our data at least 11 pieces out of 20 pieces manufactured with lot number lot: 2323150 - ster.2300246, have been implanted and this is the first and only complaint received regarding this lot number.The device was returned to limacorporate for investigation.Dimensional analysis performed on the returned component confirmed that all measurements were within the specifications outlined in the reference drawing.Therefore, the reported issue could not be confirmed, as the product was found to be compliant with design requirements.It is hypothesized that the issue may have resulted from intra-operative over-reaming by the operator; however, this assumption cannot be conclusively verified.Pms data: according to pms the occurrence rate of similar complaints - intra-operative issue due to dimensional anomalies of stem - is nearly 0.004%.Based on the root cause analysis performed and according to the relevant pms data, no corrective actions required for this specific case.Limacorporate will continue monitoring the market to promptly detect any further similar issue.This is a final mdr report.
