    THE DEVICES ASSOCIATED WITH THIS REPORT WERE NOT RETURNED. A SEARCH OF THE COMPLAINT DATABASE FOUND NO ADDITIONAL REPORTS FOR THE LOT CODE D4SFJ1. A SEARCH OF THE COMPLAINT DATABASE SEARCH FINDS ONE ADDITIONAL REPORTED INCIDENT AGAINST BOTH LOT CODES 2994209 AND 2971794 SINCE THEIR RELEASE FOR DISTRIBUTION; HOWEVER, A PREVIOUS REVIEW OF THE DEVICE HISTORY RECORDS DID NOT REVEAL ANY RELATED MANUFACTURING ANOMALIES. THE INVESTIGATION COULD NOT VERIFY OR IDENTIFY ANY PRODUCT CONTRIBUTION TO THE REPORTED EVENT WITH THE INFORMATION PROVIDED. BASED ON THE INABILITY TO DETERMINE A ROOT CAUSE, THE NEED FOR CORRECTIVE ACTION WAS NOT INDICATED. DEPUY CONSIDERS THE INVESTIGATION CLOSED AT THIS TIME. SHOULD ANY ADDITIONAL INFORMATION BE RECEIVED TO CHANGE THE OUTCOME OF THE PERFORMED INVESTIGATION, THE COMPLAINT WILL BE RE-OPENED.
