    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. THE INVESTIGATION COULD NOT DRAW ANY CONCLUSIONS REGARDING THE REPORTED EVENT WITHOUT DEVICE EXAMINATION. HOWEVER ALTHOUGH NOT RETURNED, IT WOULD NOT BE UNREASONABLE TO FIND POLY MATERIAL WEAR AFTER THE LENGTH OF TIME REPORTED AS IMPLANTED. BASED ON THE INVESTIGATION THE NEED FOR CORRECTIVE ACTION IS 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.

CORRECTIVE ACTION WAS NOT INDICATED. DEPUY CONSIDERS THE INVESTIGATION CLOSED AT THIS TIME. SHOULD ADDITIONAL INFORMATION BE RECEIVED, THE INFORMATION WILL BE REVIEWED AND THE INVESTIGATION WILL BE RE-OPENED AS NECESSARY.
