Investigate The Adverse Events Related to Oxinium Implants
(Newcastle Univarsity, 2024) Basalim, Saleh Omar; Joyce, Tom
The use of medical devices is increasing day-by-day, an important category of medical devices are the implants, such as orthopedics implants. Hip implants have been studied extensively and various materials are researched to improve the working of these implants. The wear properties are being tested for Oxinium implant which has shown to be potentially less harmful. However, many adverse events have been reported. In order to analyze the current harmful effects of Oxinium hip implant the FDA database for adverse events known as MAUDE is used in this study. The analysis of the reported adverse events provides a real-world analysis of the commercially available implants. The study of recent events can provide in-depth knowledge of potential design or procedural flaws which can be rectified to ensure patient’s safety globally. This study analyzed the recent 4 years data of MAUDE, from which 470 adverse events were obtained. Statistical analysis using excel and python was done to identify unique product codes, plot relations between different variables, and identify device problems and adverse events. Design related adverse events were found to be more common than material related events.
