    Narratives

    Additional Manufacturer Narrative · 1

    THE DEVICES ASSOCIATED WITH THIS REPORT WERE NOT RETURNED. A COMPLAINT DATABASE SEARCH FINDS NO OTHER REPORTED INCIDENTS AGAINST THE PROVIDED PRODUCT AND LOT COMBINATIONS SINCE THEIR RELEASE FOR DISTRIBUTION. REVIEW OF THE DEVICE HISTORY RECORDS DID NOT IDENTIFY ANY RELATED MANUFACTURING DEVIATIONS OR ANOMALIES. THE INVESTIGATION COULD NOT DRAW ANY CONCLUSIONS REGARDING THE REPORTED EVENT. ALTHOUGH THE ROOT CAUSE CANNOT BE DETERMINED, IT IS KNOWN THAT THE ASR PLATFORM WAS VOLUNTARILY RECALLED IN AUGUST OF 2010 FOLLOWING AN HHE (HEALTH HAZARD EVALUATION). FURTHER ANALYSIS REGARDING THE ASR PRODUCT FAMILY WILL BE DOCUMENTED, AS DETERMINED PERTINENT, IN (B)(4). BASED ON THE INABILITY TO DETERMINE A ROOT CAUSE, THE NEED FOR FURTHER CORRECTIVE ACTION IS NOT INDICATED AT THIS TIME. DEPUY CONSIDERS THE INVESTIGATION CLOSED AT THIS TIME. SHOULD THE PRODUCT AND/OR ADDITIONAL INFORMATION BE RECEIVED, THE INVESTIGATION WILL BE RE-OPENED.
