    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 CODE 3142475. A SEARCH OF THE COMPLAINT DATABASE SEARCH FINDS TWO ADDITIONAL REPORTED INCIDENTS AGAINST LOT CODE 3030384 SINCE ITS RELEASE FOR DISTRIBUTION; HOWEVER, A REVIEW OF THE DEVICE HISTORY RECORD 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.
