Additional Manufacturer Narrative

|
The reported event could not be confirmed since the affected device was not returned for investigations.Following investigation including dhr verification and x-ray analysis it appears that the patient prematurely overloaded the implant, with immobilization lasting only seven days, which prevented proper cup osseointegration.Following the revision surgery, one hypothesis is that the defect may have also occurred during the reaming step, possibly due to excessive speed leading to overheating.The most probable root cause identified for this event is a user error.This identified root cause represents the most likely explanation based on current evidence and does not constitute definitive proof of causality.If additional information is made available, the investigation will be updated as applicable.
