    Narratives

    Additional Manufacturer Narrative · 1

    THE DEVICES ASSOCIATED WITH THIS REPORT WERE NOT RETURNED. A SEARCH OF THE COMPLAINT DATABASE FOUND NO ADDITIONAL REPORTS FOR THE LOT CODES CF5GK1 AND 2459517. A SEARCH OF THE COMPLAINT DATABASE SEARCH FINDS ONE ADDITIONAL REPORTED INCIDENT AGAINST BOTH LOT CODES 2140624 AND 2528657 SINCE THEIR RELEASE FOR DISTRIBUTION; HOWEVER, A 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.
