    THE DEVICES ASSOCIATED WITH THIS REPORT WERE NOT RETURNED. A COMPLAINT DATABASE SEARCH FINDS NO OTHER REPORTED INCIDENTS AGAINST THE KNOWN PRODUCT AND LOT COMBINATION SINCE ITS RELEASE FOR DISTRIBUTION. REVIEW OF THE DEVICE HISTORY RECORDS AND/OR A COMPLAINT DATABASE SEARCH WAS NOT POSSIBLE FOR THE FEMORAL HEAD AS THE LOT CODE REQUIRED WAS NOT PROVIDED. REQUESTS FOR ADDITIONAL INVESTIGATIONAL INPUTS WERE MADE IN ACCORDANCE WITH (B)(4) APPENDIX A; REV. C. NO ADDITIONAL INFORMATION WAS OBTAINED. THE INVESTIGATION COULD NOT DRAW ANY CONCLUSIONS REGARDING THE REPORTED EVENT WITH THE INFORMATION AVAILABLE. BASED ON THE INABILITY TO IDENTIFY A ROOT CAUSE, THE NEED FOR CORRECTIVE ACTION WAS NOT INDICATED. DEPUY CONSIDERS THE INVESTIGATION CLOSED AT THIS TIME. SHOULD THE PRODUCT OR ADDITIONAL INFORMATION BE RECEIVED TO CHANGE THE OUTCOME OF THE PERFORMED INVESTIGATION, THE COMPLAINT WILL BE RE-OPENED.

    NO DEVICE ASSOCIATED WITH THIS REPORT WAS RECEIVED FOR EXAMINATION. A WORLDWIDE COMPLAINT DATABASE SEARCH FOUND NO OTHER REPORTED INCIDENT(S) AGAINST THE PROVIDED PRODUCT/LOT COMBINATION(S) SINCE RELEASE FOR DISTRIBUTION. BASED ON PREVIOUS INVESTIGATIONS THIS COMPLICATION OF JOINT REPLACEMENT IS UNLIKELY TO HAVE BEEN THE RESULT OF A DEVICE FAILING TO MEET REQUIRED SPECIFICATIONS. THE INFORMATION RECEIVED WILL BE RETAINED FOR POTENTIAL SERIES INVESTIGATIONS IF TRIGGERED BY TREND ANALYSIS, POST MARKET SURVEILLANCE, OR OTHER EVENTS WITHIN THE QUALITY SYSTEM. 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.

    UPDATE REC'D 11/10/2014- PFS AND MEDICAL RECORDS RECEIVED. AFTER REVIEW OF THE MEDICAL RECORDS FOR MDR REPORTABILITY, THE REVISION OPERATIVE NOTE INDICATED METALLOSIS, OSTEOLYSIS, NO CORRISON, PAIN, AND RELATIVELY NORMAL COBALT AND CHROMIUM LEVELS. AT THIS TIME NO LAB RESULTS HAVE BEEN GIVEN SO THE STEM IS BEING REPORTED FOR THE ALLEGED HIGH METAL IONS, AS WE ARE NOT SURE WHAT REALATIVELY NORMAL COBALT AND CHROMIUM LEVELS ARE. THERE IS NO NEW ADDITIONAL INFORMATION THAT WOULD AFFECT THE EXISTING MDR DECISION.
