    Narratives

    Additional Manufacturer Narrative · 1

    ADDITIONAL NARRATIVE: IF INFORMATION IS OBTAINED THAT WAS NOT AVAILABLE FOR THE INITIAL MEDWATCH, A FOLLOW-UP MEDWATCH WILL BE FILED AS APPROPRIATE. THE DEVICES ASSOCIATED WITH THIS REPORT WERE NOT RETURNED. A SEARCH OF THE COMPLAINT DATABASE FOUND NO ADDITIONAL RELATED REPORTS FOR THE LOT CODES 1222440 AND 1823103. A SEARCH OF THE COMPLAINT DATABASE FINDS ADDITIONAL REPORTED INCIDENTS AGAINST LOT CODES 1826595 AND 1840995 SINCE ITS RELEASE FOR DISTRIBUTION; HOWEVER, A PREVIOUS AND CURRENT 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 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION BE RECEIVED, THE INFORMATION WILL BE REVIEWED AND THE INVESTIGATION WILL BE RE-OPENED AS NECESSARY.
