A COMPLAINT DATABASE SEARCH FINDS NO OTHER RELATED INCIDENTS AGAINST THE REMAINING PRODUCT AND LOT COMBINATIONS. REQUESTS FOR ADDITIONAL INVESTIGATIONAL INPUTS WERE CONDUCTED. NO ADDITIONAL INFORMATION WAS OBTAINED. INFECTION AFTER THIS LENGTH OF TIME IMPLANTED IS NOT LIKELY TO INVOLVE A DEVICE / DEVICE PROCESSING ERROR. BASED ON THE INVESTIGATION THE NEED FOR CORRECTIVE ACTION IS 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.
