    Additional Manufacturer Narrative · 1

    CONCLUSION AND JUSTIFICATION STATUS: AS THERE WERE NO PRODUCTS RETURNED AND NO LOT NUMBERS RECEIVED, NO INVESTIGATION COULD TAKE PLACE AND A REVIEW OF THE MANUFACTURING RECORDS COULD NOT BE CONDUCTED. IN 2007 A DEAR DOCTOR LETTER WAS ISSUED DUE TO A NUMBER OF COMPLAINTS INVOLVING ULTIMA MOM / TPS STEM COMBINATIONS WHERE THE STEM WAS CORRODING, CAUSING PAIN AND EXTENSIVE PERIPROSTHETIC SOFT TISSUE NECROSIS. IN THIS INSTANCE THERE IS NO MENTION OF STEM CORROSION. THE COMPLAINT SHALL BE CLOSED WITH AN UNDETERMINED CONCLUSION; IT SHALL BE ENTERED ONTO THE COMPLAINTS DATABASE AND MONITORED THROUGH TREND ANALYSIS. SHOULD ADDITIONAL INFORMATION BE RECEIVED THEN THE COMPLAINT SHALL BE INVESTIGATED FURTHER. DEPUY CONSIDERS THIS INVESTIGATION CLOSED. SHOULD THE PRODUCT OR ADDITIONAL INFORMATION THAT CHANGES THIS CONCLUSION BE RECEIVED, THE INVESTIGATION WILL BE REOPENED.

    Additional Manufacturer Narrative · 1

    NO DEVICE ASSOCIATED WITH THIS REPORT WAS RECEIVED FOR EXAMINATION. A WORLDWIDE LOT SPECIFIC COMPLAINT DATABASE SEARCH, OR DEVICE HISTORY RECORD (DHR) REVIEW WAS NOT POSSIBLE BECAUSE THE REQUIRED LOT CODES WAS NOT PROVIDED. 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. SHOULD ADDITIONAL INFORMATION BE RECEIVED, THE INFORMATION WILL BE REVIEWED AND THE INVESTIGATION WILL BE RE-OPENED AS NECESSARY.
