Additional Manufacturer Narrative
|
|
The associated complaint devices were not returned.The clinical/medical team concluded, it was reported that a revision was performed due to infection.However, there is no report of any lab tests confirming an infection.There were three attempts to obtain clinical/medical records to adequately perform a clinical assessment, however nothing has been provided.The patient impact beyond the revision surgery cannot be determined, as there is no report of the patient¿s current condition, infection status or how the procedure was tolerated.No further clinical assessment is warranted.A review of the production documentation for the corresponding products did not reveal any deviation from the standard manufacturing processes.Product was sterilized according to sterilization release documentation from quality control.Without the actual product involved and/or device information our investigation cannot proceed.If the device or new information is received in the future, this complaint can be re-opened.We consider this investigation closed.
