Additional Manufacturer Narrative

The associated complaint device was not returned.The clinical/medical team concluded, the photo and radiology images provided do not indicate a root cause.The fracture could be due to some type of trauma along with wear over the years of the implant.However, in the absence of the relevant supporting documentation, a definitive root cause of the liner fracture cannot be determined.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.A review of complaint history for the listed part revealed no prior complaints for the listed batch/failure mode.Without the actual device involved our investigation cannot proceed.If the device or new information is received in the future, the complaints can be re-opened.No further actions are being taken at this time.
