167 medical device reports received by FDA name the brand "Acetlr Cup Hap 52mm W/ Imptr" (prosthesis hip semi-constrained metal/metal resurfacing); the manufacturer given most often on reports is Smith & Nephew Orthopaedics; received from April 2016 to July 2025. Brand names are as the reporter or manufacturer wrote them, so one product can appear under several spellings.
0 reports arrived in the 12 months to August 2026, against 4 in the 12 months before. FDA releases MAUDE data monthly; reports can arrive months after an event, so the newest months grow in later releases. The event types recorded are injury (99.4%) and malfunction (0.6%); across all prosthesis, hip, semi-constrained, metal/metal, resurfacing reports (product code NXT) death is recorded in 0.3% and malfunction in 1.7%. Event type is the reporter's classification of the report, not a verified outcome.
The device problems coded most often are biocompatibility (19.8%), insufficient device problem information (12%) and patient device interaction problem (10.8%). The patient problems coded most often are pain, toxicity and metal related pathology. FDA states that "MDR data alone cannot be used to establish rates of events, evaluate a change in event rates over time or compare event rates between devices. The number of reports cannot be interpreted or used in isolation to reach conclusions about the existence, severity, or frequency of problems associated with devices." It adds that the reporting system "has limitations, including the potential submission of incomplete, inaccurate, untimely, unverified, or biased data."
