Additional Manufacturer Narrative

Additional information: d4, h4.It was reported that a revision surgery was performed due to patient instability and dislocation.The associated oxinium femoral head, used in treatment, was not returned for evaluation.Thus the product analysis could not be performed.Our investigation including a review of the manufacturing records for the listed batch did not reveal any deviation from the standard manufacturing processes.A review of the complaint history for the listed part revealed no prior complaints for the listed failure mode with the same batch number.At this time, we have no reason to suspect that the product failed to meet any product specifications at the time of manufacture.A relationship, if any, between the device and the reported incident could not be corroborated.A review of instructions for use revealed the alleged failure is previously identified in the possible adverse events.Per our risk assessment, probable causes were stated to include but not limited to patient anatomy or surgical technique.No medical documents were received for investigation.Therefore no medical assessment can be performed at this time.Without the return of the actual product involved and no patient history records, our investigation of this report is inconclusive.Based on this investigation, the need for corrective action is not indicated.No further investigation warranted for this complaint; however we will continue to monitor for future complaints and investigate as necessary.Should additional information be received, the complaint will be reopened.
