Additional Manufacturer Narrative

The associated complaint device was not returned.A clinical evaluation was conducted and clinically relevant documentation was not provided, therefore a though medical investigation could not be performed.However, the reported off-label use of competitor acetabular components cannot be ruled out as a contributing factor to the reported dislocation for which the surgeon reportedly exchanged acetabular components and the femoral head.No further medical assessment is warranted at this time.A review of complaint history on the listed part revealed no prior complaints for the listed batch with the same failure mode.A review of the manufacturing records did not reveal a manufacturing abnormality that could have caused or contributed to the reported incident.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.No further actions are being taken at this time.We consider this investigation closed.
