    Additional Manufacturer Narrative · 1

    EXAMINATION OF THE REPORTED DEVICES BY THE MANUFACTURING SUPPLIER CONFIRMS THE REPORTED MATERIAL FRACTURE. THE ROOT CAUSE WAS FOUND TO HAVE BEEN A MISALIGNED POSITION OF THE INSERT IN THE METAL SHELL. DUE TO THE MISALIGNMENT THERE WERE POINT CONTACTS BETWEEN THE METAL SHELL AND THE INSERT WHICH INITIATED THE FRACTURE. REVIEW OF DEVICE HISTORY RECORDS FINDS NO RELATED DEVIATIONS OR ANOMALIES THAT WOULD HAVE CONTRIBUTED TO THE REPORTED EVENT. THE DENSITY OF THE INSERT WAS ANALYSED AND FOUND TO BE COMPLYING WITH THE DELIVERY SPECIFICATION FOR BIOLOX®DELTA COMPONENTS. THE MICROSTRUCTURES AS OBTAINED FROM THE QUALITY DOCUMENTS ACCOMPLISH THE REQUIREMENTS AS SPECIFIED AT THE TIME OF PRODUCTION, TOO. THERE ARE NO INDICATIONS OF ANY PRE-EXISTING MATERIAL DEFECT. BASED ON THE PERFORMED INVESTIGATION, THE NEED FOR CORRECTIVE ACTION HAS NOT BEEN INDICATED. DEPUY CONSIDERS THE INVESTIGATION CLOSED. SHOULD ADDITIONAL INFORMATION BE RECEIVED, THE INFORMATION WILL BE REVIEWED AND THE INVESTIGATION WILL BE REOPENED AS NECESSARY.
