    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 PREVIOUS REVIEW OF THE DEVICE HISTORY RECORDS FOR THE 2832569 LOT CODE DID NOT REVEAL ANY RELATED MANUFACTURING DEVIATIONS OR ANOMALIES. A REVIEW OF THE DEVICE HISTORY RECORDS FOR THE 2839599 LOT CODE FOUND ONE MANUFACTURING DEVIATION. IT WAS CONFIRMED THAT THE DEVIATION SHOULD HAVE HAD NO EFFECT ON THE CURRENT COMPLAINT. THE INVESTIGATION COULD NOT VERIFY OR IDENTIFY ANY PRODUCT CONTRIBUTION TO THE REPORTED EVENT WITH THE INFORMATION PROVIDED. BASED ON THE INABILITY TO IDENTIFY 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.
