Additional Manufacturer Narrative

|
Additional information received by the manufacturer has identified that this event should be re-evaluated for mdr reporting.The new information states that the oxinium femoral head (71342208) was not investigated as it is a polarcup luxation (i.E.Between insert and shell and not insert and ball head) and could not have contributed to the reported failure mode, therefore, it was determined that this case does not meet the threshold for reporting and is a non-reportable event.If further details are provided confirming the occurrence of a reportable event, our files will be updated accordingly and a further report submitted outlining both the event details and our investigations performed.The polarcup xlpe insert 22/43 event has been reported in mdr 1020279-2019-01210.
