H3, h6: as of today, the implanted devices, all of which were used in treatment have not been returned for evaluation.A review of the historical complaints data for the alleged devices was performed using batch number, part number and the reported failure mode to evaluate patterns of repeated failures or defects.No other similar complaints have been identified for the liner.This failure will continue to be monitored via routine trending.In the absence of the actual devices, the production records were reviewed for the devices reportedly involved in this incident.All released devices involved met manufacturing specifications upon release for distribution.The review of the product ifu found adequate warnings and precautions in relation to the alleged failure modes.A risk management review was performed.The alleged failure modes and associated risks have been anticipated within the risk file and the anticipated risk level is still adequate.No further actions are required at this time.A review of historic escalation actions related to the products and similar complaint events was performed.Following the review, no prior applicable escalation actions were identified.No further escalation actions are required.The available medical documents were reviewed.The reported heavy wear could have led to the disassociated liner but the wear could be a result of the disassociated liner.The clinical root cause for the disassociated liner cannot be definitively concluded with the limited information that was provided.Without the x-rays, anatomical placement of the implants cannot be confirmed.The patient¿s history of prior revision, anatomical placement of the implants and/or physical trauma while playing pickleball cannot be ruled out as potential contributing factors to the reported disassociation.A definitive root cause cannot be determined.Specific factors known to contribute to the alleged fault are excessive physical activity levels, excessive patient weight, trauma to the joint replacement, mispositioning of the implants, or muscle or fibrous tissue laxity.Should the devices or additional information be received, the complaint will be reopened.Based on this investigation, the need for corrective and preventative actions is not indicated.
