Product complaint #: (b)(4).Investigation summary: according to the information provided: "on day * the liner and head of the patient was replaced.The doctor asked us to send the material for analysis, as he was struck by the wear and tear observed in such a short period of time.I attach images of the extracted, as well as the certificate of the initial surgery (date of placement *)".The product was not returned to depuy synthes, however photos were provided for review.See attachment (source file - fw external reclamo de calidad).The photo investigation revealed the following damage on the device surface: 1) signs of being implanted for a period of time; 2) the liner's rim fractured; 3) some of the anti-rotation device (ard) tabs shredded; and the 4) the concave surface of the device deformed.No additional damage was identified on the device surface.Based on the evidence provided, the liner appeared to have been edge loaded causing eccentric wear/deformation in the concave surface and rim of the device and ultimately contributing to a possible failure of the anti-rotation devices (ards).There is no indication that a design or manufacturing issue has caused or contributed to the reported event.Although the liner failure cannot be traced to design or manufacturing, a definite root cause cannot be established due to there being multiple factors that may influence eccentric loading.Consideration must be given to all potential influences such as surgical process, patient variables (e.G.Activity level and use), anatomical considerations, patient changes over time and the extraction process.Any conclusions from the investigational input provided have to be placed into context with all other relevant factors.It is highly recommended to the patient to consult with their healthcare professional for further assessment.As the device was not returned, and as-received condition could not be assessed, a dimensional inspection and document/specification review were not completed.A manufacturing record evaluation was performed for the finished device jx7375 lot number, and no non-conformances nor manufacturing irregularities were identified.The overall complaint was confirmed as the observed condition of the pinn mar +4 10d 32idx52od would have contributed to the complained device issue.¿ based on the investigation findings, it has been determined that no corrective and/or preventative action is proposed.There is no indication that a design or manufacturing issue has caused the reported complaint condition.As part of depuy synthes quality process, all devices are manufactured, inspected, and released to approved specifications.Additional monitoring for any potential safety signals will be conducted through complaint trending and other post-market safety surveillance activities.Device history lot = > a manufacturing record evaluation was performed for the finished device jx7375 lot number, and no non-conformances nor manufacturing irregularities were identified.Added: h4.
