Manufacturer Narrative
|
An event regarding dislocation involving an adm liner was reported.The event was confirmed based on medical records.Method & results: device evaluation and results: not performed as product was not returned medical records received and evaluation: a review of the provided medical records and x-rays by a clinical consultant indicated: off-label use of a stryker adm insert in a non-stryker bhr cup shell with mismatch in liner retention mechanisms has contributed to later dislocation between the two incompatible systems requiring another revision.Device history review: not performed as lot information was not provided.Complaint history review: not performed as lot information was not provided.Conclusions: a review by a clinician states: "because the dislocation problem was caused by the off-label use of a stryker adm insert in a non-stryker bhr cup shell with mismatching retention mechanisms, principal failure mode is procedure-related given the surgeon¿s choice for such an incompatible combination despite awareness of the potential underlying problems." it is stated in both the ifu (qin 4400) and the surgical technique (mdm-sp-2_rev-1_12998) that other manufacturer¿s devices should not be used together with a stryker system.No further investigation is possible at this time.If additional information becomes available to indicate further evaluation is warranted, this record will be reopened.
