This follow-up report is being submitted to relay additional information.The following sections were updated: h3, h6, h11.The reported event was unable to be confirmed due to limited information received from the customer.No device was returned for evaluation; further, photographs and/or radiograph images were not provided for review.A review of complaint history determined that no further action is required as no trends were identified.The reason for the reported revision cannot be confirmed from the information provided but may be the result of prosthesis wear and loosening or due to inclusion of the polyethylene in the packaging recall.However, the reported prosthesis wear and loosening cannot be confirmed and potential contributions of user, or patient-related considerations to the event could not be assessed as the devices were not available for evaluation and no images radiographs, or relevant clinical information were provided.Should additional relevant information be obtained, a follow-up mdr will be submitted accordingly.
