THE SECURITY OFFICER: All rise.
Come to order, please.
United States District Court in and for the Northern
District of Texas at Dallas is now in session, the Honorable
United States District Judge Ed Kinkeade presiding.
Let us pray.
God bless these United States and this Honorable Court.
(Outside the presence of the jury.)
THE COURT: Okay. Let's bring them in.
(Jury enters the courtroom.)
THE COURT: Morning. Y'all be seated.
My wife actually got me to watch The Bachelor for about
five minutes I believe. That's hard to believe. But Kansas
was already blowing out Texas, so nothing to watch.
Here we go, Mr. Quattlebaum.
MR. QUATTLEBAUM: Thank you.
May it please the Court.

BY MR. QUATTLEBAUM:
Q. Yesterday, we created this very messy timeline. So I
want to review, and I tried this morning to create one that's
not so messy, and I think we can walk through it just to get
us back.
So in the mid 1990s is it right -- Did I get it right
that there was JJPI doing some work?
A. Yes.
Q. And that was not part of DePuy?
A. Correct.
Q. And they were working on that Ultima project and had that
taper patent?
A. Correct.
Q. About the same time DePuy was engaged in its alternate
bearings project?
A. Yes.
Q. Move us forward to 1996, what was the DePuy project at
that time?
A. It was the future cup project.
Q. All three of those dealing with metal-on-metal?
A. Yes.
Q. Moving forward to '97, what were we seeing going on at
that time?
A. On the DePuy side, we were working on the development of
the one-piece, 36-millimeter one-piece.

Q. And is that when the Ultima clinical study in the U.S.
started?
A. That's correct.
Q. And it had about 269 patients implanted with the Ultima
device?
A. In the U.S., yes.
Q. Yeah. 1998 what happened?
A. J&J acquired DePuy.
Q. Okay. 1999 what happened?
A. Pinnacle project is starting.
Q. And what happened with regard to one-piece?
A. We were implanting custom devices.
Q. Okay. And about 157 of those, right?
A. Yes.
Q. 2000 what occurs?
A. In 2000, Ultamet was cleared by the FDA, and an IDE study
for the one-piece started in the U.S.
Q. And was that clearance by the FDA and the one-piece
study -- did that involve the integration of the information
that came from JJPI?
A. Absolutely.
Q. No, is there another Johnson & Johnson company that was
involved as well?
A. Yes.
Q. What was it?

A. Johnson & Johnson Orthopedics, JJPO.
Q. What role did it have?
A. JJPI and JJPO were similar to sort of the Warsaw and the
DePuy International on the DePuy side. So it was a U.S. and
then a European sort of groups both doing orthopedic products
within Johnson & Johnson.
Q. So they collaborated on Ultima?
A. They did collaborate.
Q. We're up to 2000. 2001 what happens?
A. In 2001, the first Ultamets were implanted.
Q. And where were the Ultamets manufactured?
A. They were manufactured in our DePuy Leeds facility.
Q. And what company is that?
A. Depuy International.
Q. Then 2002 what occurs?
A. The full commercialization of Ultima in the United
States.
Q. What happened to the Ultima clinical study?
A. It was the end of the IDE study.
Q. And then we go forward to 2004. What occurs with regard
to this progression?
A. That was the end of the 36-millimeter one-piece IDE study
in the United States.
Q. Okay. Thank you.

telling us about the role of design surgeons, remember?
A. Yes.
Q. For what period of time during that timeline were design
surgeons involved in the development and design of Ultamet and
Pinnacle cup?
A. Considering the design development work for the
predecessor devices, back through 1994.
Q. Did you -- were you there? Did you participate in those
design meetings?
A. I did participate in design meetings, yes.
Q. Did you observe the design surgeons providing input?
A. Yes, I did.
Q. Was the input meaningful?
A. Their input is critical.
Q. Let me hand you this cup.
What is that cup, ma'am?
A. This is a Pinnacle -- Pinnacle sector cup, so sector
meaning three screw holes in one quadrant of the cup.
Q. And is there any particular story about design surgeons'
involvement with that cup?
A. There are a couple.
As I mentioned yesterday, from an engineering perspective
I can do a lot with --
MR. LANIER: Judge, I'm going to object only for
clarification to make sure these stories aren't hearsay and

that she was actually there.
THE COURT: We don't know yet. Get ready. We're
about to find out.
MR. QUATTLEBAUM: Thank you, Your Honor.
BY MR. QUATTLEBAUM:
Q. That's what we need to know, Leanne. Were you
involved -- there when these --
A. Yes. I was there.
Q. -- this event took place?
A. Yes.
Q. Okay.
A. As I mentioned yesterday, from an engineering and
development perspective we can do a lot with the physical
components. And what we have less direct experience with is
the anatomy and the bone.
So one example, certainly from the DePuy side, we had a
very successful acetabular cup already on the market that was
called Duraloc. It had been available since 1990. Very
successful. And it had a particular pattern for the screw
holes. So where a surgeon might use the screw holes is if
they put the acetabular cup in and just for a belt and
suspenders or maybe the bone quality isn't exactly what they
would like, then they put bone screws from the inside to
firm -- firmly secure the cup into the acetabulum.
So we came to the design surgeons with this is the screw

hole pattern that is currently available in Duraloc, and it's
very successful, and this is what we propose. And there was
quite a spirited debate about if you look inside the -- the
shell should the screw holes be a smiley face or should they
be a frowny face.
So the Duraloc design had one hole closest to the apex
and two that were more lateral. And what the surgeons told us
on the Pinnacle team is that we actually needed to have the
two holes more towards the dome versus the outside based on
their experience with how they would angle the cup and put the
cup into the acetabulum and where the bone stock behind it
tended to, one, be the thickest, and, two, the best quality.
So what may seem like a very small change was incredibly
impactful for them and was something that we would not have an
inside perspective have sort of intimate knowledge of the
subtlety of that.
Another example also related to the screw holes -- and
unfortunately you -- you wouldn't even be able to see from
here the -- the design change is even more subtle for that.
With the Duraloc cup, the design of the screw hole was
sort of a cylinder and then a radius, and we have screws that
would match -- the radius of the screw head would match the
radius in the screw hole so that when you drive the screw in
you can get some angulation and seat your screw, because they
don't know -- and for patients it would be different, exactly

where the best bone is going to be.
We late -- also late in the development cycle because we
had already started to actually produce acetabular shells, one
of our surgeons, Dr. Dan Berry, was very emphatic about the
design of the screw hole, that it needed to be a smaller
radius. That sounds like a really small change. But what it
meant was instead of getting 14 degrees that he could angle
his screw, it would give him more like 28 and that was very
significant to him.
We had to change the design of the screws, and we ended
up throwing away a million dollars of inventory that was
sitting on the shelf, our cost, implants ready to go, because
he was so emphatic that the change was needed.
And long story short, I agree. Dr. Berry and I still
talk about that today, how that was a good change to make.
And, again, something that I can design a screw hole and
I can design a screw and the instruments to put it in, and for
me I would not have the expertise from a clinical perspective
to appreciate the difference between 14 degrees and 28 degrees
in terms of what he can do with the screw in the patient's
anatomy.
Q. Thank you. I want to get that back because I want to put
it on the ELMO and have you orient us.
So we can sort of see a smiley face with the three holes.
A. Yes.

Q. And describe again what you were telling us just now.
Was it this way before?
A. So if you hold the cup in the same orientation --
Q. This one?
A. The change would have been the one hole would have been
closet to the dome and the two holes on the outside. So it
went from a two and one to a one and two.
Q. Okay. So the middle hole would be up higher and the two
outside holes would be lower --
A. Yes.
Q. -- creating a frown?
A. Yes.
Q. Okay. Got it.
And you mentioned Dr. Dan Berry. Where does he practice?
A. He's the chief of the Mayo Clinic in Rochester.
Q. And he was a design surgeon for what?
A. He was a design surgeon for the Pinnacle acetabular
cup.
Q. And was that a royalty-bearing position?
A. It was.
Q. And we've heard a lot about royalties in this trial.
Approximately how much in royalties did Dr. Berry earn?
A. I don't remember the exact number. I think it was in the
neighborhood of 24 million.
Q. And did that go to Mayo?

disregard unless she knows.
BY MR. QUATTLEBAUM:
Q. Ma'am, have you reviewed the documents in that regard?
A. I through my work on the legacy royalty project, I did
have access and have reviewed all that information. It's been
a significant period of time since I had the exact data in
front of me.
MR. QUATTLEBAUM: Okay. Your Honor, may we try
again?
THE COURT: Sure. Always your call.
MR. QUATTLEBAUM: Thank you, Your Honor.
BY MR. QUATTLEBAUM:
Q. Based upon your review and your role in the legacy
royalty review project, are you aware of the amount that
Dr. Berry received in royalties via the Mayo Clinic?
A. As I recall.
MR. LANIER: And I--
A. -- it was in the mid 20 million.
MR. LANIER: -- and, Your Honor, I'm still going to
object unless she knows what the deal was between the Mayo
Clinic and Dr. Berry. Unless she knows what he received after

it went through the Mayo Clinic, she's got no basis for
answering that question.
THE COURT: Sustain the objection.
BY MR. QUATTLEBAUM:
Q. Is there a process at DePuy for the development of
products?
A. There is.
Q. And what does it mean when we say there's a process?
A. It means formal documentation which outlines steps or
protocols that should be followed per -- per a procedure.
Q. Is that a written process?
A. It is written.
Q. And was that process followed with regard to the
development of the Pinnacle cup and the Ultamet liner?
A. Yes, it was.
Q. What's the purpose for having a process like that?
A. There are a couple of purposes.
One, it is a requirement by the Food and Drug
Administration, as well as other regulatory authorities to
have these types of processes.
In addition, it's also just good business practice to
have them.
Q. And is that process -- Does it result in documentation
being maintained at DePuy?
A. It does.

Q. What is that documentation file called?
A. So the design control process, the output of that is
called a design history file or a development history file.
DHF, you'll hear it referred as.
Q. And do you have to keep -- maintain the design history
file?
A. We do have to maintain design history files.
Q. Describe what we're talking about in terms of volume with
regard to the Pinnacle cup.
A. If you look at the iterations of the Pinnacle cup, there
are thousands and thousands of pages in a multitude of design
history files.
Q. And what about for the Ultamet liner?
A. The same.
Q. What are the steps, just in a broad sense, of the design
process?
A. So at a very high level you can sort of break it down
into three stages.
There is a design input and planning phase, which is
where we would identify an unmet clinical need and you would
start the project planning and risk analysis of a project.
The middle phase, the second one, is called verification
and validation.
What that means, verification is technically taking a
customer need and translating it into a design input. So I

want a bright car, the color should be red, so it takes sort
of a customer input, turns it into an engineering term. The
output then says it's red number 121.
So verification is for us typically a lot of mechanical
testing and prototyping, those type of things.
The validation bit is saying has your engineering output
satisfied your customer need. So now I'm going to give to you
a red car, is that what you wanted, is that the right red.
So for us validation is we put prototypes or components
into a surgeon's hands, they either do saw bones analysis,
they do cadaver labs, they assemble them, they disassemble
them, and so it's the feedback from the direct user to say,
yes, this satisfies their need.
The third step would be transfer to manufacturing, which
is taking an engineering drawing from product development and
actually building and manufacturing the components to those
specifications.
Q. Okay. So on the front end you have written
specifications about how you want to build it?
A. Yes.
Q. In the middle you have did we build it properly according
to the specifications and directions?
A. Yes.
Q. And then on the back end is can we then manufacture that
for commercial use?

A. That's correct.
Q. Did I get it?
Okay. Are the surgeon design team members involved in
those steps?
A. Yes.
Q. In what way are they involved in each of those steps?
A. So in the first step, design inputs and planning they
bring to us and they help identify clearly what the unmet
clinical needs are.
We translate those sort of into engineering terms and
then help us with that.
Also the early stage is where we would do the beginnings
of our risk analysis. They're very involved in that as well.
In the middle page, verification and validation we would
say to them this is our plan for how we think these components
need to be tested, do you agree with that, are there any
additional steps that need to be done.
After we have tested the products they would review the
results and say yes they are comfortable with the results of
the testing.
And the validation, as I mentioned, we put the components
in their hands and they do evaluations either in cadaver labs
or something similar.
And then in the -- in the final stages they would get a
box, component in a box, and say, yes, the label is right, we

can read it, the part coming out is packaged appropriately,
those types of things.
Q. Is there any independent review of those steps that takes
place by somebody outside of the team that was involved in
design and development?
A. There is. The design control process, as it's called,
requires that an independent reviewer, so somebody who was not
part of the project core team but is technically competent,
technically capable, independently reviews the -- sits through
the review process and reviews the documentation to make sure
that all of the requirements have been met.
Q. In the design and development of Ultamet was it
exclusively the United States team or was -- were there others
involved?
A. Ultamet was a little bit unique for us in that we had --
at least I can speak very clearly from the DePuy side, from
the DePuy side we had very clearly a team in the U.S. that
tended to develop and manufacturer components. We had a
similar team, a sister company in Leeds, that also did
developments and manufacturing of products.
This was one of the first times when we had very global
collaboration on a single development.
So what I mean was if you look across the project core
team you will see many instances where there were
representatives from the United States and also from

international on the team. So, for example, product
development and research and quality all had representatives
from both sides of the pond, we would say.
And then the manufacturing of the components happened in
the Leeds facility.
So it was unusual for a project core team at that time to
have such a -- a diverse membership.
Q. And were you leading that team?
A. I was.
Q. At the end of that project, when it's all said and done,
what did you do with regard to your team?
A. So at the end of the project we had a final project
review. And as part of that I wanted to acknowledge the
team's excellent collaboration. So it's -- if you haven't
done it, it's a little bit challenging when we have a team
that's intended to work together but we only have half of our
business day over lapse. By time I'm getting into the office
they're already at lunch.
Q. "They" being the team in Leeds?
A. "They" being the people in Leeds.
Q. In England?
A. Yeah. So with culture differences and time differences,
a whole lot of things, it just was an additional layer of
complexity for the team and I felt like they really did an
outstanding job of collaborating and working through those

additional hurdles.
So at the end I wanted to specifically acknowledge to
them, hey, I think you did a great job.
Q. Okay. And did you prepare a slide to present to them in
that regard?
A. I did.
MR. QUATTLEBAUM: Jim, if we can bring up 2053.265.
BY MR. QUATTLEBAUM:
Q. It's kind of a bad copy, Ms. Turner, but what are we
seeing here?
A. So what you see on the left is, right, your two people
across the pond on the -- on the phone, right, working through
our issues.
The other thing that you will notice, if you look at the
make up of our project core team, is a lot of folks who work
inside the four walls of DePuy, either in the U.S. or
international. I am very fortunate from a product development
perspective that I get a lot of access to our design surgeons
who can directly relate to me stories of their patients and
patients that they have helped with their products and the
difference that the products that we collaborate on make in
their practices.
My planner, my quality guy, my operations guy or girl,
they don't get that touch with the end user. The way that
they know the product is successful is my planner sees an

order come through and says, oh, that's a big order so we must
be selling a lot of these.
And my, you know, operations guy say on my shop work
order that's a lot of components. And so my message to them
was you will see how successful this product is and sort of
the fruits of your hard labor you will see as we roll this
product out because we believed it was going to be a
successful product.
So that's -- that was one way I was tending to convey
there was you won't get to talk to the patients and the
doctors, but what you will see is a shop work order come
across your desk that means we are -- we're in fact selling
the product.
Q. Okay. So we've spent in time talking about that design
process and the role of design surgeons.
Were you involved later in reviewing the role of design
surgeons?
A. Yeah.
Q. And in what capacity were you involved in that way?
A. So later, as I described yesterday, some of my work
experience, I was a project manager in the medical affairs
department. One of my projects which was a requirement under
the deferred prosecution agreement was a review of legacy
royalties.
So what we were asked to do was for all instances where

we had royalty payments due, regardless of the time frame for
when they were initially earned, we had to go through and
validate and certify that all of those payments were proper.
Q. Okay. Let me hand you what's been identified as
Plaintiff's Exhibit 1569.
Do you recognize that, ma'am?
A. I do.
Q. What is it?
A. This is a legacy royalty summary that was prepared for
Pinnacle Ultamet.
So the format of this was -- of the process would have
been we would have prepared the documentation per the six
requirements in the process, we would have presented to two
different committees the outputs of those. Based on that this
summary report would be included with all of those additional
materials and provided to our monitor for review. The monitor
also participated in the live reviews of the projects.
MR. QUATTLEBAUM: Okay. Jim, can we switch to the
ELMO, please.
BY MR. QUATTLEBAUM:
Q. So if you will turn to page 4 of the document you can
walk us through the questions that you had to answer.
A. So the questions we had to answer were -- it was a
process that we had collaborated with the monitor on and
agreed with the monitor.

The first one is: Was there bona fide commercial need
for surgeon participation on a design team?
Q. And what are you looking at there?
A. So what we're looking at there is was there a commercial
need for the project. So from an anti-kickback statute
perspective we wanted to make sure there weren't unnecessary
projects that were being created in order to have surgeon
designers on the team. So it was business need for the actual
project itself.
Q. One thing I haven't asked you, Ms. Turner is: How many
design projects have you worked on?
A. If I had to add them up, probably 12 to 15.
Q. Okay. Next question, next page.
Did the company have a legitimate basis to select the
consultant who served on the design team?
What did you do in that regard with regard to the design
surgeons participating on the team?
A. So the purpose of this is to review the qualifications of
the particular surgeons that were selected to participate on
the design team, to verify that they were qualified for that
role.
Q. Okay. Next question: Was the consultant selected for an
improper purpose?
What did you have to do in that regard?
A. So the requirement here was that we had a certification

signed. Again, this is a direct -- a direct requirement
relating to anti-kickback statute, which says if there is --
if one purpose of a payment to a healthcare professional is to
influence their purchasing habits then it's considered a
violation.
So, for example, if we said this is an extremely
qualified surgeon, but we also want his business, even though
he's qualified and there's a need, that would still be a
violation of the anti-kickback statute. So this
certifications were done from both parties because the
violation could occur on the HCP side, it could also occur on
the company side.
So certifications for provided for both of those parties
to verify there was no improper purposes.
Q. HCP?
A. Healthcare provider.
Q. Next: Is there a written agreement with appropriate
approvals?
What were you looking at there
A. So again a requirement is an arms-length negotiation
contract with the healthcare provider to provide services.
Q. Okay. Is there evidence of an appropriate consultant
contribution to the design project?
What were you looking for there?
A. This is probably the most intuitive one. We went through

records and wanted to find documentary evidence of their
contributions.
Q. And is that what the process consisted of?
A. Yes.
Q. And then there's an overall one: Was the total royalty
load commercially reasonable and do the royalty payment --
payments carve-out sales to the consult's affiliated
hospitals?
What's the purpose of satisfying that question?
A. So that is even if we've all agreed it's a reasonable
project, the people are qualified, they contributed, that the
amount of the payment was fair market value.
Q. How did you verify that the amount was fair market value?
A. There was -- we actually consulted with an independent
organization to do a fair market value analysis with us. That
analysis was then submitted to and approved by the monitor.
Q. And did this process have to take place for all design
surgeons?
A. This process took place for every design surgeon on every
project where there was an active or an outstanding royalty
payment.
Q. Okay. Now I want to talk to you about the 510(k) for
Ultamet, Pinnacle Ultamet. Okay?
A. Yes.
Q. Were you involved in the submission of the 510(k) to the

FDA?
A. Yes.
Q. Again, remind us when that took place.
A. That took place twice in 2000. The first for the
28-millimeter was in October; the second for the 36 was in
December.
Q. What involvement did simulator testing have with regard
to the submission of the 510(k)?
A. So our 510(k) processes were called a special 510(k),
which meant that the products were -- had a -- the same
scientific sort of function and intended use. So we used
simulator data for our predicate devices as part of our
submission, 510(k) submission.
Q. Okay. Was there an occasion when an issue arose with
regard to the operation of the simulator?
A. Yes.
Q. Tell us about that.
A. What we found when we first tested the 36-millimeter
Ultamet design, there was a test set up to compare
28-millimeter Ultamet and 36-millimeter Ultamet. And when
that test started it was being run in our DePuy Leeds facility
and the tribologist who was running the test noticed that
there was some unexpected motion between the cup fixtures and
the actual simulator itself. When he noticed this he noted
that one potential cause of that would be that the clearances

between the femoral head and the cup were too small.
If the clearance or the gap between the two components
was too small then high friction under load could be causing
that sort of catching which would lead to motion in the -- in
the fixtures. So the fixtures would be a fixtures in a
simulator, you put the acetabular cup in and the motion was
between the fixture and the actual body of the simulator.
Q. And that would alert to the possibility of loosening?
A. Yes.
Q. Okay. Have you identified a -- a video of the simulator
machine so that we can better understand what they look like
and how they work?
A. Yes.
Q. And I think that's Exhibit 3903.
A. That's an example of a hip simulator.
(Video playing.)
MR. QUATTLEBAUM: Jim, can we pause for a second.
BY MR. QUATTLEBAUM:
Q. Ms. Turner, I notice there's one, two, three, four, five,
six of these. Is that how many operate at one time?
A. It depends on a simulator. It can be up to 10 on a
single simulator, maybe 12.
Q. Is there a name for this particular simulator?
A. This particular simulator is called an AMTI.
MR. QUATTLEBAUM: And, Jim, we can keep going.

not -- it's not a single back and forth there. It's a complex
motion.

Q. Do you have -- what's the other one called?
A. There's a series of simulators in Leeds called a ProSim,
as well another type of hip simulator that's commonly used is
called an OBM, an orbital bearing machine.
Q. Okay. Let's go back to what you were telling us, we can
sort of see now what we're dealing with.
So the cup was in the machine, right?
A. Yes.
Q. And the question --
MR. LANIER: Your Honor, I'm going to object to him
leading through this.
THE COURT: Sustained.
BY MR. QUATTLEBAUM:
Q. Explain to us how the cup was positioned in the machine
and explain to us what the issue was that was -- that came to
be.
A. So the issue was that as the simulator was going through
its cycle, there was movement that was noticed primarily in
one station and on a -- to a lesser degree in two other
stations in the same simulator, motion between the fixture --
so not the implant but the fixture and the actual simulator.
Q. Okay. Eventually, did you do what was necessary to

figure out what the problem was?
A. Yes. The tribologist who was running the test tested the
actual simulator with a variety of other components and was
able to determine that the pneumatic cylinder was broken. So
it turned out that the issue that he was seeing was unrelated
to the implants and was a function of the simulator itself.
Q. What time period are we talking about when all of this
occurred?
A. That was in November of 2000.
Q. What does that have to do, if anything, with the 510(k)
submission?
A. I'll try to make a really complicated story as simple as
I can.
So when Andrew Goldsmith, who was the tribologist running
the machine, first noticed the problem with the simulator he
sent a detailed email to Frank Chan, the tribologist on the
DePuy -- on the DePuy/Warsaw side, and said this is what I am
seeing, this is what I think it could be, what do you think it
could be.
And they both agreed that one possible explanation was
the clearance between the head and the liner, that for the
36-millimeter it was too low.
So what we know about clearance for tribology is that the
lower the clearance is for metal-on-metal implants, you get
better wear performance to a point where the components are

too close in size and then the wear goes back up. So that was
the -- that was the concern, if that was happening.
So what we decided to do was to open the clearance on the
36-millimeter design. There had been conversations and
meetings dating back to the end of 1999 when we first said we
have a 28-millimeter Ultima, we have a 36-millimeter
one-piece. Now as we move into the Ultamet design, how do we
want to relate the clearances between those two components.
There were two schools of thoughts from the tribologists.
One was we should have exactly the same amount of clearance,
which was 40 to 80 microns on the diameter.
Another school of thought was we should have the same
effective clearance -- or effective radius, I'm sorry. What
effective radius means is that in evidence looking at a
discrete clearance value, you're looking at the relative size
of the 28 and 36 and you're attempting --
Q. Let me hand you these two heads or balls and you can tell
us how that will help you explain it.
A. You're looking at the relative difference for a
28-millimeter articulation and a 36, and we're saying that
from a design perspective we want the contact patch to be
exactly the same between these two.
So even with a 36, when you put a 36 head into a 36 liner
and you load it, you don't find that the entire surface is a
bearing area, that it's a localized contact area. That's to

be expected.
So what we did is changed the clearance of the
36-millimeter component so that the actual contact patch would
be exactly the same, similar -- the same effective radius as a
28.
So what that meant was the amount of wear that you would
expect to see solely from that parameter would be the same.
Q. Okay. So that was complicated --
A. Sorry.
Q. -- but let's see if I can make it -- Let me see if I can
make it less complicated.
If there is contact from the outside edge of the cup all
the way across the top of the ball in all directions, then you
would have one --
MR. LANIER: Judge, I am going to object to him
leading through this.
THE COURT: Sustained.
BY MR. QUATTLEBAUM:
Q. Explain to us how if you had a cup that -- that didn't
have a widening clearance how that would change the contact
patch.
A. Okay. So you -- let's use a nonorthopedic example, more
extreme than the difference in these sizes.
If you have a golf ball and you have a basketball and I
say I'm going to -- I'm going to put a blanket around a golf

ball, but I'm going to leave a two millimeter gap. And now
I'm going to take a basketball, and I'm going to leave that
exact same two millimeter gap. The relative gap between those
is very different where you would expect only two millimeters
on a basketball to be a much tighter fit for the larger
diameter.
It was the exact same thing. With the exact same
clearance, the relative fit was much tighter than for the 36
than it was for the 28. By using the effective radius, the
relative gap would be the same.
Q. Okay. So what did that do with regard to your submission
to the FDA for the 510(k)?
A. So we had initially prepared the submission for the same
clearance between a 28 and a 36. When we changed the design
to be based on the same effective radius, we changed the
description in the 510(k) to demonstrate the equivalence of
the effective radius of the 36 and the 28 instead of the
clearance.
Q. Okay. And by describing effective radius instead of
clearance, did you have to change particular spots in the
510(k) application where that was described?
A. We did. That change was shown on the engineering
drawings for the components. Those would effect the
clearance.
There was also intended to be a change -- What we found

later was that in an exhibit to the 510(k) we had not updated
the clearance box to effective radius in the exhibit. So
there was an inconsistency from what we described in the body
of the 510(k) and what was in the supporting exhibit.
Q. Okay. And when did that come to light -- In fact, let me
ask you: Were you the person who was supposed to update the
box?
A. I was the person who was supposed to update the box.
Q. In the attachment to the -- to the application?
A. Yes.
Q. And did you just miss it?
A. I missed it when we submitted -- I didn't see that that
particular nomenclature had been updated.
Q. Okay. When did it come to light?
A. So we discovered this in 2005. So, again, the submission
was in 2000. In 2005, the FDA had contacted us because they
had noticed based on a subsequent submission that we had sent
in that there was an inconsistency in how we called out the
clearance, and they contacted us for clarification.
Q. Okay. 4060. Let me hand you Plaintiff's Exhibit 4060.
What is that, ma'am?

A. Oh, the date is July 29th of 2005.
Q. Okay. And what is the recommendation by the FDA at that
time pertaining to this mistake that was made back in 2000?
A. The recommendation was that the information did not
change the status of the 510(k), no other action was required
by DNC; adding an image to the file. The sponsor will be sent
a 525 letter indicating a new 510(k) is not needed.
Q. Okay. The bottom paragraph --
MR. QUATTLEBAUM: Jim, if you can go to the bottom.
BY MR. QUATTLEBAUM:
Q. Let's take it sentence by sentence. "According to
current practices in ORDB, the diametrical clearance of a
system cannot be changed without clinical data." Correct?
A. Yes.
Q. And then "Therefore, given this new information, the
Pinnacle 36-millimeter system would not have been cleared in
2000." Correct?
A. Correct.
Q. But what did they say after that? What did they do?
A. So they did a search of the medical device reporting
forms, MDRs, for adverse events associated with the Pinnacle

36-millimeter liners. Only 5 adverse events were reported.
They compare that to adverse events in the same time period
for other metal-on-metal devices, and they concluded that
during the same time period the 36-millimeter Pinnacle system
had a reasonable number of adverse events reported.
Therefore, the sponsor will not need to submit a new 510(k)
based on the information presented for the device already
cleared.
Q. All right. Let's just walk through it if we can.
"However, after searching the medical device reporting
form" -- right -- "program."
A. Yes.
Q. -- "for adverse events associated with the Pinnacle
36-millimeter liners only 5 adverse events were reported."
A. That's correct.
Q. Now, what's an adverse event?
A. An adverse event would be any complication with in this
case total hip replacement. So it could be related to the
device. It could be unrelated to the device.
Q. Okay. "Three of these adverse events were failure for
the liner and shell to line up appropriately. One adverse
event was a patient revised due to pain. One adverse event
gave no details. Over the same time period the comparable
Sulzer" -- That would be the Metasul product?
A. Correct.

Q. -- "the Sulzer metal-on-metal system had approximately 25
adverse events reported, while Zimmer had 3 reports regarding
the 28-millimeter acetabular insert and 3 reports regarding
their cobalt chrome femoral head. Therefore, during the same
time period the 36-millimeter Pinnacle system had a reasonable
number of adverse events." Right?
A. Correct.
MR. QUATTLEBAUM: Jim, if we go back up one more
time to the recommendation at the top.
BY MR. QUATTLEBAUM:
Q. So in 2005 looking back, what did the FDA require of
DePuy with regard to that 36-millimeter 510(k) submission?
A. We needed to submit a new table to correct the original
510(k).
Q. And all of that started with what?
A. All of that started with a broken pneumatic cylinder in
the simulator.
Q. So speaking of simulators, tell us about what kinds of
testing DePuy did with the Pinnacle Ultamet.
A. So between Pinnacle Ultamet -- yeah, Pinnacle and Ultamet
we did a variety of testing.
It might be easy to think about it in terms of the
features that are affected by the testing. So we looked
certainly at the locking interface between the acetabular
liner and the femoral shell. So we would have done mechanical

testing related to that. Examples of that kind of testing are
pushing, putting the liner in, push out, what does it take to
extract it, and torque to failure. So torquing the liner to
see what force is required to dislodge the taper interface.
Additional testing that would have been done looking at
the modular interface would be threading corrosion. We worked
with Dr. Jeremy Daubert, who is a world expert on threading
corrosion. He did testing for us looking at mismatched
materials as well as looking at particular features that were
designed into the -- into the cup for the primary purpose of
fixation or locking with polyethylene to make sure that those
features did not have an adverse effect on the locking and
potential for threading and corrosion with the metal insert.
Examples of mechanical, we also did a tremendous amount
of wear testing -- sort of tribology testing -- on the bearing
surface.
Q. Okay. Approximately how many cycles -- a cycle is like a
step, right?
A. Yes.
Q. Okay. How many cycles of simulator testing over the
years was done on Pinnacle Ultamet?
A. Over the years I would say approximately two billion.
Q. And there are varying -- are there varying amounts or
numbers of steps that they attribute to people over a year?
A. Yes. So I would say when I started in the business it

was believed to be around a million steps per year, and I
think now the current thinking is that it's somewhere between
one and two million steps a year.
Q. So you said two billion cycles of testing?
A. Two billion.
Q. Approximately?
A. Approximately.
Q. And that would equate to -- If we were talking about
steps per year, something in excess of a thousand years?
A. A thousand years.
Q. Did all of that testing that you described take place
before the submission of the 510(k)?
A. It did not.
Q. Okay. Does -- what period of time does it cover?
A. It -- it covers a period from -- for Ultamet
specifically, previous to the launch, certainly testing that
we've already discussed about the Ultima and the 36-millimeter
one-piece up to really present day. Probably 2011, 2012, '13,
we were still doing a variety of tests with Ultamet products.
Q. And what did you do with regard to examining the debris
that is generated from hip simulator tests?
A. We did a couple of things. So very early -- or earlier
in our metal-on-metal program, we had taken particles from the
Sulzer Metasul versus 36-millimeter one-piece simulator
testing. We took samples from those tests, both of those

components, and sent them to two different laboratories, one
was Pat Campbell's lab and another one to Zivic to look at and
analyze the particles.
Q. Based upon your simulator testing, what material did you
consider to be the best material to use with Ultamet?
A. High carbon cobalt chrome.
Q. Are there standards associated with high carbon cobalt
chrome?
A. There are.
Q. And how do you -- where do you find the standards?
A. So the standard that is commonly used for orthopedic
explants is ASTM 1537.
Q. And is that the standard that would apply to Ultima?
A. Correct.
Q. And to the one-piece?
A. Correct.
Q. So the point of that is you -- what -- what is the point
of that?
A. So the point is that medical devices are very controlled,
that it's important when we manufacture them if we say we're
going to use a cobalt chrome alloy that the alloys that folks
are using and researching and testing meet a standard so that
we know that they're the same.
So ASTM is a widely known and utilized body for
generating and maintaining standards. So what that tells us

is that the materials that might be used between different
manufacturers, for example, are the same.
Q. Based on your simulator studies what conclusion did you
reach with regard to the volume of wear that would be
generated?
A. Well, consistently the Ultamet products show extremely
low wear in a simulator.
Q. Okay. Now, what about publication of some of those tests
that you did?
Did you publicize them?
A. There have been a number of publications of mechanical
testing that we have either worked on or sponsored, yes.
MR. QUATTLEBAUM: Jim, if we can show G 117.1.
BY MR. QUATTLEBAUM:
Q. What are we seeing here, ma'am?
A. So this is a list of some of the published literature on
our metal-on-metal products.
Q. And when you're talking about publish-- publishing this
information, where does it get published?
A. It can be in a -- in a variety of journals. And you'll
see many peer-reviewed -- peer-reviewed journals on here.
Q. And did the people that you sent the work out to write
the articles, publish the articles?
A. Yes.
Q. What were some of the topics, and just generally, we

in the publications?
A. So we looked at things like lubrication. We looked at
particle analysis, effect of clearance on metal-on-metal wear.
MR. QUATTLEBAUM: And, Jim, are there multiple pages
to that, I think?
If we can go to page 2.
And page 3.
Thank you.
BY MR. QUATTLEBAUM:
Q. What's the significance to the fact that the information
was published, ma'am?
A. It's -- it's a couple of things.
I think it shows that DePuy was working with the right
people, people who are very well-versed and experts in
tribology, orthopedic area; as well as it shows sort of our
equipment to educating and expanding the body of literature in
the public domain around these types of products and the
testing for them.
Q. Were hip simulation studies fully run before the FDA
cleared the -- cleared the Pinnacle Ultamet?
A. There were the 510(k)s and our -- through our design
control process our predicate devices provided the definitive
wear tests for our 28 and 36-millimeter submissions, so we had
simulator testing ongoing as we submitted the 510(k)s.

its course and -- well, let me ask that first.
Did you finish those simulator tests?
A. We did.
Q. And how were the results?
A. They showed very low wear.
Q. Okay. Clinical testing. Did you do a clinical test of
the Pinnacle Ultamet device before it was submitted to the
FDA?
A. We did not.
Q. Was that known to the FDA?
A. That was known to the FDA.
Q. Okay.
So what clinical evidence -- we talked about this some
yesterday, but what clinical evidence did you rely upon with
regard to marketing, selling the Pinnacle Ultamet?
A. The evidence that we relied on came from multiple
sources, certainly from our own internal data.
So we had 28-millimeter Ultima experience both outside of
the United States and inside of the United States.
We had data coming from the original custom implants as
well as the IDE study for the 36-millimeter one-piece.
In addition to that, there was a tremendous amount of
data available on the Metasul product that had been available,
as we discussed yesterday, since 1988 outside of the United

States.
Q. Okay.
MR. QUATTLEBAUM: Jim, if we can go to 101.34, which
we saw yesterday.
BY MR. QUATTLEBAUM:
Q. So how did Ultamet, Pinnacle Ultamet compare to the
36-millimeter one-piece and the 28-millimeter insert on the
testing that you described?
A. So with respect to testing we found that the
28-millimeter Ultamet tested the same or better, meaning lower
wear, typically from the 28-millimeter Ultima.
In respect to the 36, the 36-millimeter Ultamet also
performed equivalent or better than the 36-millimeter
one-piece in a simulator.
Q. Why did that matter to you?
A. So that was important to us because we wanted to
understand if we have a clinical body of evidence and we make
some changes to the implants to improve them, can we rely on
the clinical information that has already been collected in
terms of how we believe it will impact the performance of the
new device.
Q. Were there clinical studies that were done after the
introduction of Pinnacle Ultamet to the market --
A. Yes.
Q. -- that involved the Pinnacle Ultamet?

A. There were several of those as well. There were ion test
studies that were done with Dr. Andy Engh and Dr. Steve
MacDonald as well as Dr. Tom Schmalzried and with Dr. Jim
Kaderna.
In addition the Ultamet was used as a control device for
a couple of future IDEs that were planned with DePuy -- with
DePuy.
Q. So it was used as the control --
MR. LANIER: Objection, leading.
THE COURT: Sustained.
BY MR. QUATTLEBAUM:
Q. How -- what do you mean when you say it was -- it was
used as a control device?
A. So as I described yesterday, for example, the IDE study
for the one-piece there was -- we talked about control devices
and experimental devices, so in a prospective randomized study
what the FDA likes to see is a control with a -- a --
commercially available component that is known to be
performing well and then you use that to gauge the performance
of your experimental device.
So the DePuy Ultamet became the actual control device for
two other IDE studies that came after.
Q. That were overseen by the FDA?

What did you do with regard to educating the sales force
and educating surgeons about Pinnacle Ultamet?
A. So my sort of personal role in had that, and it was more
than just me, obviously, we had one-on-one meetings with
surgeons, so either we would go to a surgeon's facility to
have a conversation with them, many times we had surgeons come
into the DePuy facility for a tour of the facility and we
would go over the metal-on-metal and Pinnacle acetabular cup
projects with them.
There were presentations at national sales meetings, so
those would be sort of the annual --
MR. LANIER: Judge, I object to her testifying about
what other people did at DePuy and ask that she testify about
her own personal experience.
THE COURT: Maybe she was there. Just make that
clear.
BY MR. QUATTLEBAUM:
Q. Yes.
A. These are all my personal experiences.
Q. Okay. Go ahead, ma'am.
A. National sales meetings. So presentations, educating the
sales force and providing materials to the sales force for
them to be able to then take to their surgeons.

meetings for just the DePuy or Ultamet project with a group of
physicians.
Q. Let me hand you three documents, ma'am.

cup system.
Q. What involvement, if any, did you have in the creation of
that document?
A. So I -- I'm trying to -- for sort of describing the
engineering aspects related to Pinnacle, I authored portions
of this.
Q. Okay. And then Exhibit 56 is what?
A. That is surgical technique for Pinnacle acetabular cup
system.
Q. How does that get created?

a historical review for metal-on-metal implants.
Then it talks about a broad engineering overview for --
it's sort of a tribology overview for metal-on-metal bearing
technology in general.
Then there is a section that talks about the Ultamet
product in specific terms.
Finally, there is the page on biologic issues and
conclusions.
Q. Who else helped you with writing that?
A. Frank Chan also wrote a significant portion of this.
Q. Tell us again who Frank Chan was.
A. Frank Chan was a tribologist, Ph.D. in tribology that
came to DePuy in I believe 1999 time frame.
MR. QUATTLEBAUM: Okay. If we go to page 11, Jim.
BY MR. QUATTLEBAUM:
Q. Why is there a page on fixation, ma'am?
A. Well, what we wanted to convey with Pinnacle as well as
with Ultamet is that there are many considerations in the
design of acetabular cup products and different things that
you would want to consider.
The first one is fixation. So with respect to Pinnacle
is that if your implant does not ever secure to host bone
nothing else is really going to matter, if your cup is loose.
So with respect to Pinnacle that's the case. With
Ultamet, in particular, you may have heard that with early

generation metal-on-metal designs that fixation was an issue.
So due to bearings that were not properly designed you
could have very high friction. High friction at the articular
interface could cause the cup to actually spin out of the
acetabulum or could cause loosening on the femoral implant
side as well.
So we wanted to acknowledge that fixation was we believed
something that we had addressed with Ultamet.
Q. Okay. And then on page 12 there's a page on modularity?
A. Yes.
Q. Why is that important?
A. Modularity for this project was one of the -- is one of
the key hallmarks for Pinnacle, the three-in-one. And
modularity is what gives surgeons choice in terms of their
intraoperative selection for an implant. As well modularity
leads to the next section of biomechanics.
Q. Next section what?
A. Biomechanics.
Q. Okay. And let's talk about range of motion for just a
moment, which is page 16.
What benefit does the Ultamet liner provide with regard
to range of motion compared to a polyethylene liner?
A. I'm sorry, could you repeat the question?
Q. What benefit does Ultamet provide with regard to range of
motion compared to a polyethylene liner?

A. So one thing that we were also careful to discuss with
surgeons is around range of motion and the impact of potential
impingement of components, depending on what your bearing
surface is.
So, for example, if I have a patient who either has a
component that is not optimally placed or some sort of
physiological motion that reaches the extremes of the implant,
you can imagine that if I impinge on polyethylene that's very
different than if I impinge on a metal insert in terms of what
potential damage could be at that interface, so we wanted to
ensure with our metal-on-metal components to emphasize not
only cup placement but also we wanted from a design
perspective to try to maximize the motion that you would --
could get between your femoral stem and your bearing before
you would have component interaction.
Q. So contact between the stem and the edge of the cup or
liner?
A. Yes.
Q. So is the -- is the polyethylene liner typically thicker
than the metal liner?
A. It typically extends further beyond the face of the
acetabular shell.
Q. Okay.
A. So when we looked at the Ultamet versus the predicates of
Sulzer and Ultima we were able to increase the range of

motion, especially for the 28-millimeter articulation
like-to-like components.
Q. How was the technical monograph used or issued?
A. So it was used -- it sort of is reflective of the
information that we gave during a live presentation. It also
was printed and distributed to physicians as an education
tool.
Q. Okay. Did you actually participate with Dr. Chan, Frank
Chan, the Ph.D., in making presentations?
A. Yes.
MR. QUATTLEBAUM: And if we can look at 622, Jim.

that we used. This is one specifically that was given at

Q. And did you participate in making those presentations?
A. Yes.
Q. Did you prepare aspects of this one?
A. Yes.
Q. What did you and Dr. Chan present?
How did you present the content of this PowerPoint deck?
A. So depending on who was there at any given time, we would
have separated into our sort of areas of specialty in terms of
what we presented.

MR. QUATTLEBAUM: Okay. If you go to page 3, Jim.
BY MR. QUATTLEBAUM:
Q. What are we seeing here, ma'am?
A. So this is an overall outline of the information that's
contained within this presentation.
Q. And I know that we've walked through the table of
contents of the technical monograph. In some respects, does
this take a similar approach?
A. Yes.
Q. So you look at metal-on-metal design issues in general?
A. Yes.
Q. Just like in the technical monograph?
A. That's correct.
Q. Ultamet design rational?
A. Yes.
Q. And I know we've called a document the design rationale.
Is that what's being addressed here? Is it the document or
the way it works?
A. The way it works.
Q. Okay. Did you also provide information on wear testing?
A. We did.
Q. And then biologic response issues?
A. Yes.
Q. What is positioning Ultamet?
A. So because -- because this was a presentation that was

specifically directed at our sales force, there are some
comparisons to competitive product as well.
Q. Did you address clinical concerns?
A. Yes.
MR. QUATTLEBAUM: And, Jim, if we can go to page 45,
please.
BY MR. QUATTLEBAUM:
Q. Was there a conference called the World Tribology
Forum?
A. Yes.
Q. And I know that you have citations there, for example,
Jacobs. Does that refer to that conference?
A. Correct.
Q. And did that take place in '01?
A. Yes, it did.
Q. And when was the -- the technical monograph published?
A. It was I believe published in 2002.
Q. And this presentation was in '03; is that right?
A. Yes. June of '03.
Q. Okay. So what's being addressed here under clinical
concerns?
A. On this side, we talk about biological response to
medical -- to metal particles and ions.
And we talk about wear relative to polyethylene.
Q. And did you provide citations to articles that people

could read if they needed more information?
A. Yes.
Q. Page 46, the next page.
What are we seeing here, ma'am?
A. This is a slide that highlights four major considerations
in terms of a biological response for metal-on-metal implants.
Q. When you made presentations to surgeons, what would be
the forum or venue for those presentations?
A. They could be one-on-one conversations. They could be
groups of surgeons that we would present to as well.
Q. Did you present information just like this?
A. We did.
Q. So did you discuss issues of hypersensitivity?
A. Yes.
Q. And cytotoxicity and carcinogenicity?
A. Yes.
Q. Did you provide citations for those as well?
A. We did.
Q. And under biological response, the next page, what did
you talk about in that regard?
A. So this is just sort of further detail around the
inflammatory response.
Q. And did you provide citations of published literature on
that?
A. We did.

Q. Still more citations to authority?
A. That is correct.
Q. Same kind of thing done for surgeons as sales force?
A. Yes.
Q. And next page, page 49, what's being discussed here?
A. Cytotoxicity.
Q. Citations?
A. Yes.
Q. Next page, carcinogenicity. And so what we've seen, I
think, is an overview of those topics of biological response
and then a more detailed discussion following?
A. That is correct.
Q. And finally page 51.
What are we seeing on 51, ma'am?
A. Sort of a wrap-up slide regarding biologic response.
Q. And page 52, what are we seeing there?
A. Again, a -- sort of a wrap-up related to clinical
issues.
Q. With citations?
A. Yes.
Q. What was the goal of providing that information?
A. A couple of things.
This information was -- and these citations, already

available in the public domain. Certainly, there was a
tremendous amount of interest in the new metal-on-metal --
sort of the new generation of metal-on-metal implants given
the challenges that were known to exist with polyethylene.
We wanted to be able to provide further information to
surgeons to help them educate themselves about biological and
clinical issues.
Q. Ms. Turner, you oversaw the development of this product,
right?
A. I did.
Q. You lived through it?
A. I did.
Q. How do you respond from your perspective as one of the
engineers and -- and the project core team leader to the -- to
the suggestion that you rushed the product to market?
A. I think that is completely inaccurate and would discount
the volumes of work that had been done from both sides of
Johnson & Johnson, PI, JJO and DePuy, dating back to 1994.
All of that work was used in consideration for the design of
Ultamet. So I -- I wouldn't consider that a short
development.
Q. What about the process that took place from 2001 to 2002
with regard to Ultamet and how does that pertain to that issue
of whether you blitzed the market?
A. I believe that we were very -- we had a very controlled

launch. And certainly, we are interested in surgeons being
able to get clinical experience with the implants, but we
wanted to do that in a very responsible way. So we -- could
we have sent more product into the market faster? Yes, we
could have. That was not the plan.
The plan was to control the roll-out in the early time
frame just as additional verification that there were no
issues.
Q. Do revisions happen?
A. Revisions happen with every implant.
Q. Okay. So even if there are revisions that are occurring
in the first five years, is that anything that's concerning to
you?
A. That in and of itself is not concerning.
I'm not aware of any implant that has zero failures. It
just -- it's something that is known to happen by us, it's
known to happen by the FDA, it's known to happen by
clinicians.
Q. You can't make a perfect implant?
A. You cannot make a --
MR. LANIER: Objection, leading.

Q. How do you as an engineer respond to the claim that you
didn't have enough information available to you, including

clinical information, to introduce Pinnacle Ultamet to the
market?
A. I also disagree with that suggestion.
Given the information that we had for predicate devices,
I feel like we had certainly sufficient information to give us
confidence in the performance of the product at the time we
launched.
Q. What about the contention that you downplayed or hid risk
information?
How do you respond to that?
A. I absolutely disagree with that.
We -- we have a lot of information in the technical
monograph. We have information IFUs that are contained in the
box with each and every product that is sold. We were very
purposeful in our communication with the sales force as well
as with surgeons in terms of what risks had been identified in
the literature, reported in the literature. We tried to
provide the -- the very best information that we could.
Certainly there is no -- no benefit to us to try to not
disclose that information. I -- I feel like we discussed it
in multiple venues and to the right individuals.
Q. Is it a good product, the Pinnacle Ultamet?
A. I think it's a great product.
Q. And are you proud of the work you did?
A. I think out of all of my time in product development,

MR. QUATTLEBAUM: Your Honor, we pass the witness.
THE COURT: We'll take a break.
15 minutes. Don't talk about the case.
THE SECURITY OFFICER: All rise.
(Recess taken at 10:23.)
(Proceedings resumed at 10:47.)
(Outside the presence of the jury.)
THE COURT: Mr. Powell?
MR. POWELL: Yes, sir.
THE COURT: Let me tell you before you get too long,
I'm glad to listen. I've gone back and looked at those cases
while I was in the break.
I think this really goes to the failure to warn claim.
Is that right?
Isn't that right?
MR. POWELL: I think it goes to all of the defect
claims and the negligence claim, Your Honor.
THE COURT: Really?
Okay. Well, I think it primarily goes to the defect
claim, and I think most -- most -- this is really going to
come up in the charge more than right now with regard to the
evidence.
I mean, y'all just went into this evidence, didn't you?

MR. POWELL: No. We went into the evidence of what
we gave to the FDA.
I think what we're going to hear on cross-examination,
though, is you didn't give that to the FDA, you didn't give
that to the FDA, a lot of claims about what was not given to
the FDA and claims about things that were given to the FDA
that may not have been completely correct as the plaintiffs
see them.
So that evidence I think is clearly barred by Buckman
preemption.
THE COURT: Okay.
MR. POWELL: And that's -- that's the issue.
I don't think you can throw to the jury the question of
whether DePuy in some way did not comply, whether it was by
intentional or unintentional noncompliance with some
regulation of the FDA affecting Rule 510(k), because that's
peculiarly a federal question that the Supreme Court has said
really is the business of the agency.
You know, if somebody is going to say that a manufacturer
did not give us the right information, it would have to be the
agency that would say that.
Now, the issue as Your Honor saw in the Lofton case, the
Lofton case is an important part of our argument because there
were two other circuits that created a circuit split, and I
think this is where we might have been back in the Paoli case.

But the Second Circuit had said, well, that's a pretty
limited thing, it doesn't apply to state tort law claims, it
only applies to a cause of action that someone is bringing
that you defrauded the FDA. And then the Sixth Circuit said
we disagree with that, and then the Fifth Circuit has agreed
with the Sixth Circuit.
So I think -- I think it is a very broad concept. After
you read Lofton in this circuit anyway, there is a unique
circuit split on the question as to how broadly that
preemption sweeps, but at least for us it's answered, you
know, in this circuit.
THE COURT: And I'm not debating that with you.
We're not in Montana right now in this trial.
MR. POWELL: Right.
THE COURT: So -- it might be prettier --
MR. POWELL: It would --
THE COURT: -- to be in Montana right now.
MR. POWELL: Oh, it couldn't be much prettier than
it's been here right now.
THE COURT: Well, I know the weather has been great
here --
MR. POWELL: Right.
THE COURT: -- but the snow would be pretty.
I think it's primarily going to be a charge problem.

this FDA and what you did and what you failed to do, we forgot
to do this and at five years we messed up this. Well, I mean,
they can go into that.
How can you go, whoa, whoa, whoa, we can put all that in,
but you can't ask questions about it? Is that what you're
saying?
MR. POWELL: Well, I'm not -- I'm saying that to the
extent that they want to contend -- we -- we were -- that was
sort of preemptive as you might imagine.
There is a letter from the FDA that we put up and read
because they're going to argue that the FDA said something
about 510(k) with respect to the Ultamet.
So what -- the point here is, though, they can't -- I
mean, we heard it all in Paoli that, you know, here's a test
you did. You didn't give that to the FDA. Don't you think
that you ought to give all the tests to the FDA, don't you
think you ought to give everything you know to the FDA.
THE COURT: Okay.
MR. POWELL: And that's precisely what the Supreme
Court talked about in Buckman.
THE COURT: Okay. I get it. Thank you.
All right. Who's arguing for the -- oh, Mr. Arsenault.
Good to see you.

be making a formal response in the next few hours.
This has been addressed in the context of a few MDLs.
And if I could approach with some decisions, Your Honor.
THE COURT: Sure.
MR. ARSENAULT: Both in the Actos and the Baycol
MDLs. And also this was alluded to in -- in opening
statements by Mr. Sarver, and we have those passages as well
for Your Honor.
THE COURT: Okay. Thank you.
MR. ARSENAULT: You're welcome.
(Pause.)
MR. ARSENAULT: So essentially, Your Honor, we're
not advancing any Buckman fraud on the FDA claims. The
defendants, as you can see in the opening, have embraced the
FDA approval. We're simply underscoring the limitations of
the 510(k) process. And as those MDL judges have discussed,
this comes in connection with the marketing issues that we
have.
THE COURT: Okay. Well, I think it comes in in
evidence at this point. I don't -- I'm not sure what will
happen on the charge. I'll have to look at that a little
more, and I hope y'all can get some response for me on that.
Okay? Okay?
MR. ARSENAULT: Yes, Your Honor.

argument.
MR. ARSENAULT: Thank you.
MR. POWELL: Could we have a running objection then
to all testimony about --
THE COURT: No. You make objections at the
appropriate time.
MR. POWELL: All right.
THE COURT: I'm not going to -- that running
objection business, I -- let's just start at the first of the
trial, judge, any ruling you make we'd like to have a running
objection. I don't blame you. I tried to do that too. The
judges never granted me, I'm not granting you that broadly.
So make an objection at the appropriate time.
If it looks like it's going to get a whole bunch of it at
one point, then I'll say yes and I'll do that, but not at this
point.
MR. POWELL: May we just say "objection, Buckman" or
something like that to --
THE COURT: That will be fine. No, that will be
fine.
I'm not trying to keep you from making your objection,
I'm just not saying, hey, judge, anything you've said is -- I
mean, it's just too hard on me to do that. I can't remember
all that. I'm sorry.
Okay. Okay. Are we ready?

BY MR. LANIER:
Q. Good morning, Ms. Turner. My name is Mark Lanier. I've
not had the privilege of meeting you before. As you can
imagine I have got a lot of matters to cover. Did I spell
your name right?
Do you capitalize that A?

Just so that we're all on the same page and we all
understand, you've been prepping for this for a long time,
haven't you?
A. I have.
Q. I know you've been prepping. I notice you've done some
hand motions and all. Have you practiced your testimony at
all?
A. No.
Q. Okay. You have been though prepping for well over a
year, haven't you?
A. My deposition was two and a half years ago. So --
Q. Yeah. So you got at least that.
But what I'm referencing specifically is an email that
you sent. It's Plaintiff's Exhibit 4075 where you were
sending to a Robert Decker back in September of 2013.
You said, "I officially accepted a new job in BI."
What is BI?
A. Business intelligence.
Q. Business intelligence.
Is that with J&J or with DePuy?
A. With DePuy.
Q. "As part of the transformation. I haven't are actually

started my a few job, as I'm currently spending considerable
time prepping for Pinnacle litigation as well as maintaining
my ASR responsibilities."
Because you had a key role in that ASR metal-on-metal
too, didn't you?
A. My role was in terms of the reimbursement program after
the recall.
Q. All right. And in that regards, ma'am, you've been
spending time getting ready for this. You've got a lot of
areas where you've testified about to the jury and a few other
areas where you've not testified, but you've had involvement.
Is that fair to say?
A. You'll have to let me know what questions you'd like to
answer -- you want me to answer, please.
Q. All right. For example, you testified some about the
royalty work you were doing?
A. Yes.
Q. And we -- we know about that because of not only your
testimony but some of your emails.
"Barry and Leanne," this is from Randy Kilburn, who's
the head of marketing to you and -- I think Barry Schnieders
was also in marketing?
A. Yes.
Q. So the marketing people are meeting with you on the
royalty meeting with a high importance on it back in 2009?

A. If I can clarify, Barry was not in a marketing role in
2009.
Q. Okay. "Barry, Leanne, are we able to review the aSphere
heads royalty at the next meeting?"
Because you were involved in aSphere at least from a
royalty perspective?
A. I was asked about this because I helped schedule the
reviews. I was not involved with the actual review of aSphere
or any of the development.
Q. Okay. "The development and legal team are in alignment
that aSphere heads are a line extension to Ultamet."
Now, did you have anything to do with the engineering or
the aSphere at all while you were at DePuy?
A. I did not.
Q. We're launching aSphere heads at AAOS and having clarity
on this situation will help immensely."
You at least knew about it from that perspective, fair?
A. I knew that it was a project, yes.
Q. And then I think -- and -- and we'll get into this more
when we get into the royalty testimony you offer, but, "As
stated in our monitor's most recent quarterly report to the
U.S. Attorney's Office, the monitor is requiring all legacy
royalty payments be submitted for her review by March 13th.
"As a result, we lost our long scheduled March RRC
meeting."

"I appreciate the urgency with which you want to get
Ultamet XL reviewed. I just don't see how we can expand the
agenda to accommodate another project review."
A. Yes.
Q. You then told Randy "Maybe I should tell him I will swap
out Ultamet for Corail. Then they can call all the Corail
guys to tell them they won't be getting any future royalties
because metal-on-metal is more important. Think he'll go for
it?"
I think at that point y'all kind of lapsed into some
frivolity with this, right?
A. Yes.
Q. Barry Schneiders back to you, "Wonder if we'll ever get
to the point where we aren't fighting somebody, anybody at
all . . ."
You asked the Magic 8 ball. You said the magic 8 ball
said no f'ing way.

everyone else will leave me alone."
"Power of positive thinking. Let me know how that
works." You said "In the spirit of trying it out, I think you
suck." He's got -- it's basically just you and him going at
it and having some fun, I guess. But as a practical matter
what we can see from this you were knee deep involved in
knowing the concerns of the company, especially around

marketing and metal-on-metal, weren't you?
A. I'm not sure how this -- I'm not sure how these two
things are connected. I'm sorry.
Q. All right. Let me approach it from the back end then.
I'm sure you've seen Dr. Fehring's PowerPoint. The jury
has seen it multiple times: Metal-on-metal, how did we get
here?
It's Exhibit 1 -- 10. Have you seen this?
A. I think I have seen it.
May I have a copy?
Q. Yeah.
A. Thank you, sir.
Q. "How did we get here?" Dr. Fehring asks.
Dr. Fehring, of course you know him, don't you?
A. I do.
Q. He's a design surgeon, right?
A. Yes. He was a design surgeon --
Q. He got paid royalty money from y'all because he -- was he
one of the ones that helped decide the smiley face or the
frowny face on the holes?
A. Yes.
Q. How many -- how many guys got royalties simply for
deciding whether it was going to be a smiley face or a frowny
face?
A. None of them on that contribution alone.

Q. Okay. What else did Dr. Fehring contribute beyond that?
A. He contributed in a number of ways.
Q. Right. What?
A. He was instrumental in the test program and set up that
was looking at micromotion of the polyethylene liner interface
with the acetabular cup.
Q. That's the test program. But I'm talking about the
design of the cup. What did he do in the design?
A. That is a hundred percent related to the design of the
cup.
Q. The test program is related to the design?
A. Yes. Because the testing verifies has the design met the
intent.
Q. Which y'all decided the design did. So the design wasn't
changed at all because of anything Thomas Fehring did, right?
A. That's not true.
Q. All right. Well, we'll get to that later on. Let's keep
going.
So he does reveal his disclosure. Very well. Gives the
postmortem overview.
Then he says "How did we get here? Hip surgeons were
seduced into using metal-on-metal."
Now, you were part of that process, weren't you?
A. I can't say I agree with the way that he's characterized
it here. I was involved with metal-on-metal.

Q. Well, you were not only involved. You were involved in
training the sales force. You were involved in preparing the
literature. You were involved in interfacing with the key
doctors that were out there saying things in the meetings.
You were a project leader for this metal-on-metal hip, weren't
you?
A. Yes.
Q. The idea of leading astray -- to lead someone into a
behavioral choice they might otherwise not have made.
This is one of your design surgeons describing what y'all
did with metal-on-metal, isn't it?
A. He was a design surgeon for the Pinnacle acetabular cup,
not for the Ultamet liner.
Q. Well, what I -- for the Pinnacle acetabular cup which
holds the metal liner.
A. Yes.
Q. Right?
All right. And in this regard you were the project
leader, as we know from Defendant's Exhibit 2053 that you
referenced earlier, page 327. Project leader, Leanne Turner.
This is you, isn't it?
A. Yes.
Q. All right. Now, as project leader you had some -- a lot
of responsibilities, didn't you?
A. Yes.

Q. And one of those responsibilities was to deal with the
engineering aspect of how this product was going to work.
Correct?
A. That was not a responsibility as a project leader.
Q. It was a responsibility you had on the project, isn't it?
A. Yes. It would have been a responsibility as an engineer.
Q. All right. Now, I've put on the ELMO for the jury to see
the liner and a ball.
This is the liner that goes inside the shell, correct?
A. Yes.
Q. And then we have a ball that goes on the end of the stem.
Correct?
A. Yes.
Q. Now, one of the very, very, very important issues is how
much space is designed to be between the ball and the inside
of the liner. What is the space there. Correct?
A. Yes.
Q. And that space between the ball and the liner is called
clearance?
A. That is correct.
Q. In other words, how much clearance is there is a question
to how much space is there between a working ball and a liner.
What is the -- the spacing in there. Correct?
A. Yes.
Q. Now, you testified yesterday that when it comes to

clearance, this is very, very, very important in a
metal-on-metal, isn't it?
A. Yes.
Q. In fact, I've titled this sheet I want to walk through
with you, "Coming Clean on Clearance."
In metal-on-metal, clearance must be tightly controlled.
Agreed?
A. Yes.
Q. Ultima, even the little brochure that y'all handed out on
Ultima, said that clearance is an imperative, right?
Right?
A. May I see?
Q. Sure. It's the one you were looking at yesterday, the
design rationale for Ultima.
I'm looking at page 2.
Ultima is one of the devices that y'all said to the FDA
was substantially equivalent in safety and effectiveness or
efficacy, right?
A. Substantially equivalent, yes.
Q. And so this is the device that you talked about some of
the tests y'all did. You talked about the tests on the
Ultima.
A. Yes.
Q. And in this design rationale for the Ultima y'all even
make the statement, "Proper clearance between the head" -- Let

me see if I can get it focused better.
"Proper clearance between the head and the insert is
imperative to help ensure function and extended clinical
longevity."
Do you see that?
A. Yes.
Q. And by that what you're meaning in that -- and what you
believe to be true and I think everybody agrees is true -- is
that clearance changes the wear, how much debris. True?
A. It is one of the parameters that affects wear, yes.
Q. And it also affects how long the implant works, right?
Right?
A. Yes. If you -- if you read what the brochure references
in terms of clinical longevity.
Q. That's what it says, it is imperative to ensure function
and how long it works.
It's optimized, the Ultima is, for wear reduction with a
28-millimeter articulation. Correct?
A. Yes.
Q. So we've got something here that is critical, tightly
controlled, imperative, can affect the wear -- oops -- can
affect how long the implant works, but y'all did lie to the
FDA about this "imperative," didn't you?
MR. QUATTLEBAUM: Object on the Buckman issue and on
403, 402, and the characterization of lying.

Didn't tell the truth.
A. My testimony was that there was a mistake in the
submission, yes.
Q. Well, I know you said today it was a mistake. We're
going to go back and look into the document trail to see if it
was a mistake or deliberate. We'll do that in a moment.
But for now can we just agree you did not tell the truth
to the FDA about this "imperative." True?
MR. QUATTLEBAUM: Same objections, Your Honor.
THE COURT: Overruled.
THE WITNESS: I feel like this implies that it was
done purposefully, so if you want to add on there not on
purpose, then I will agree with that.
BY MR. LANIER:
Q. How about if we add on there right now that you didn't
tell the truth to the FDA and then we'll talk about whether or
not it was an accident. Okay?
I'll add it this way. Was this an accident?
Was this accidental, question mark, so that we've got it
on there. Okay?
A. Okay.

American law we're allowed under the Freedom of Information
Act to actually get into some FDA files and get their
documents.
Did you know that?
A. I'm not sure if I was aware of that or not.
Q. All right. Well, that's what we've done.
We've asked for their documents from the DePuy
Orthopaedics folder that deals with the prosthesis or the
implant for the hip, metal cemented acetabular, in other
words, the Pinnacle metal-on-metal cup liners. We asked for
their file from DePuy on that.
Do you see that?
A. I see.
Q. And they sent us their file materials, which we've got
here. And I'd like to look at a couple of the things that
we've pulled out of the FDA file with you. Okay?
First, we see that the FDA approved for selling the
Pinnacle Ultamet metal liner. The approval was sent on
December 13th of 2000; is that right?
A. The clearance, yes.
Q. And so that means in the matter -- in the process of just
a month y'all got approval all the way to the letter being
sent out.
And the approval was based upon representations made by
you and your company. Correct?

A. Yes.
Q. And those representations y'all made was that this
Pinnacle Ultamet liner was identical, substantively, to the
Ultima liner. Correct?
A. Sir, I'm just checking to see if it was to the Ultamet or
to the Ultima.
Q. Oh, because the 36 was to the Ultamet 28; is that right?
A. I believe so. I'm trying to verify.
Q. No, I think you're right. I think you're right.
I think what this was was the company saying that the
Ultamet 36-millimeter liner -- which by the way happens to be
the liner in all of the plaintiffs in this case.
Did you know that?
A. Yes.
Q. The 36-millimeter liner is the same for all intents and
purposes as the Ultamet 28-millimeter liner that had already
been approved; is that right?
A. We specify -- Yes. We specify the specific areas of
equivalence, intended use, surface characteristics, material
locking mechanism.
Q. But that's where y'all didn't tell the truth, isn't it?
A. I don't agree with that.
Q. Well, you have here on page 67 a comparison chart of
Pinnacle 28 and Pinnacle 36, don't you?
A. Yes.

Q. And under Pinnacle 28, which is the first column, you
give the clearance as 40 to 80 microns; is that correct?
A. Yes.
Q. Now, so that we've got this here, Ultamet 28, you give
the clearance as 40 to 80 microns we abbreviate with the Greek
U and then the Latin M; is that right?
A. Yes.
Q. Now, what you've done here is define the clearance, that
really important imperative that affects wear debris and
everything else, correct?
A. Yes.
Q. And then you show for the Pinnacle 28 that it's 40 to 60
microns -- 40 to 80, excuse me, microns clearance.
And then for the Pinnacle 36 --

you?

A. I did.

A. I did.
Q. And we can go through here and look, but what we're going
to find out as we do so is you told the FDA, and you gave them
a sheet that was dated May 16th of 2000, that it was 40 to 80
microns clearance. Right?
A. Yes.

THE WITNESS: I think a more accurate way to say
that is there is conflicting information in the report.
It is accurately reflected earlier in the body of the
description.
BY MR. LANIER:
Q. All right. Which page are you referencing there, ma'am?
(Pause.)
A. Sorry, I'm having a hard time finding the actual
submission in here.
Q. We'll let you do it over the lunch break, because we
won't be through by then, and we'll look at it after lunch.
But let's keep on working right now. All right?
A. I can tell you that what I'm looking for is the reference
to effective radius.
Q. Okay. Maybe it would help if I give you DePuy's 510(k)
submission and you looked for it in your forms.
MR. LANIER: Judge, I didn't ask the first time.
May I approach?

we got through the Freedom of Information Act. We got this
out of your files.
It starts with the acceptance letter. You can work
through it.
Does that -- will you be able to find it quicker, or
should we keep moving?
(Pause.)
A. My apologies. I know I'm looking for the description,
I'm just not able to put my finger on it.
Q. That's all right. Why don't we keep going and maybe it
will crop up in the questioning. And if not, you'll have a
chance to look for it over lunch. Okay?
A. Okay.
Q. All right. Now, meanwhile, ma'am, what we focused on is
what y'all told to the FDA in the comparison chart where
you're comparing Pinnacle 36 to Pinnacle 28, the comparison
chart. Because you're saying they're the same. If the FDA
looks at the comparison chart, the FDA is told the wrong
information, they're told a falsehood. Correct?
A. Correct.
Q. Now, you were the actual source for this falsehood,
weren't you?

FDA.
You are the Leanne Turner who is verifying to the best of
your knowledge, as required by the risk analysis, for this
modification were performed and the results demonstrated the
predetermined acceptance criteria were met.
You made that representation, didn't you?
A. Yes.
Q. But you are the actual person who authorized the change,
aren't you?
A. The change to the clearance?
Q. Yes, ma'am.
In other words, the -- you not only signed and said
"approved," you are the person who before you approved the
chart saying "same," you are the person who approved changing
the clearance, aren't you?
A. I am not -- I wouldn't say that's entirely correct.
The change to the clearance --
Q. Hold on, ma'am.
A. -- was made based on the tribology experts on the team.
That's pretty clearly documented.

Q. And part of the process that you said is in writing -- by
the way, the process kind of broke down here, didn't it?
A. I made a mistake.
Q. Okay. The process as it's in writing says there has to
be an engineering change request, like we see on Exhibit 4072,
correct?
A. Yes.
Q. This engineering change request for the Pinnacle metal
insert that's 36 diameters was requested by who?
A. I was the engineer requesting it.
Q. So when I said you signed the change order, you were
responsible for the change. You certainly are the engineer
who requested the change. Correct?
A. I requested the change to the drawing.
Q. Well, if we look at the drawing, ma'am -- go to page --
in the lower right-hand corner there are page numbers here.

the very same day you signed the verification to the FDA,
didn't you?

Q. You signed an updated chart that had your updated changes
of the clearance on the same day you verified to the FDA that
what they were getting, the false information, was the truth,
didn't you? Exact same day.
A. It was the same day.

change, but the clearance on this is 80 to 120, almost twice
the clearance on this imperative matter that changes wear and
everything else.
You knew the truth on the same day you told the FDA
differently, didn't you?
A. By mistake, yes.
Q. Well, you're saying "by mistake," that's why I want to
underscore this, Ms. Turner.
Leanne Turner knew and was signing changes to the
imperative the same day as saying the falsehood to the FDA.
That we know, don't we?
That we know, don't we?
A. Yes.
Q. And so I've got up here that you were the source, you
authorized the changes, and then you verified false data to
the FDA. That is all true as well, isn't it?
A. Clearly when I signed that I was not aware that the
incorrect table had been included in the exhibit. That was
certainly not done knowingly.
Q. Well, ma'am, if you've got a brand-new table that is
updated that very day, to reflect the change orders you've
been going back and forth over whether or not to make, knowing
it's an imperative feature, you want us to accept that you
knew about the change but just forgot to tell people to put

submission?
You just -- it lapsed your mind?
This was your project, wasn't it?
A. Yes.
Q. This was your reason for existing at DePuy at the time,
wasn't it?
A. Not sure about that, but it was my project.
Q. Well, ma'am, we're going to get into it in a moment, but
the truth of the matter is you did not do this cavalierly and
you had known about the FDA and whether it might affect the
FDA, and you just decided to stay quiet on it, didn't you?
A. That is absolutely untrue.
Q. Because, ma'am, you were the person the company was
relying upon to use your persuasive powers to get the FDA to
approve the 36 with the new untested data, weren't you?
A. No. No.
Q. I'm going to give you Plaintiff's Exhibit 4070. And see
if it doesn't bear out my question about you were the one the
company was going to rely on to use your persuasive powers.
I'll give you the hint.

Andrew Goldsmith, the tribologist. "I wasn't aware you had
background in the CIA. Anyway, on a need-to-know basis, the

clearance to a hundred, continue this present test with the 80

tests.
"Consensus: Yes.
"Regulatory: We are reliant on Leanne's persuasive
powers that we know what we're doing."
Do you see that?
A. Yes.
Q. When I said the company even was relying upon your
persuasive powers to deal with the FDA, did you forget about
this email?
A. You said my persuasive powers with the FDA --
Q. Ma'am, doesn't "regulatory" mean FDA?
A. No. No, it does not.
Q. You think it's regulatory within the company?
A. Yes.
Q. All right. So regulatory within the company deals with
the FDA?
A. Yes.
Q. So what your persuasive powers were going to do is
persuade regulatory to try and figure out how to deal with
this with the FDA.
Do you still want us to think now that you had no idea
just the very day before y'all had given and you had signed
off on false information?

BY MR. LANIER:
Q. Ma'am, you clearly knew this. This isn't a mistake.
This is something you knew, didn't you, Ms. Turner?
A. I'm not sure how any of this clarifies that it's not a
mistake.
Q. Well, let's look at the back and see what the emails are
before this one.
These emails start out -- and so that we've got this date
in front of us, November 13th is the day you verify wrong
clearance to the FDA. Right?
Right?
A. Incorrect table submitted.
Q. Yes. The wrong clearance.
Now, go back to November 10th, three days before.
Are you with me?
A. Yes.
Q. November 10th, three days before, you get an email from
Andrew Goldsmith, who is concerned about friction with the
36-millimeter, and says this is of high importance.
Do you see that?
A. Yes.
Q. And this is where Andrew Goldsmith is saying we're having
a problem in the simulator. The simulator is not working well
on the 36-millimeter. Correct?

A. Yes.
Q. He doesn't say it's a piston. He says "I'm convinced
it's not the simulator."
Do you see that?
A. Yes.
Q. That's because there are two 36 that are having problems,
both of them are, not just one?
A. As I recall in another -- in another email he describes
that it was obvious in one and potentially occurring in two
others.
Q. Barely noticeable, but noticeable for two others.
A. Yes.
Q. So you've got it in three of the five.
A. Yes.
Q. Correct?
" The key difference between this pair and the rest is
clearance."
This pair has clearance of 52, and the other four pairs
are higher. Again, he's not saying it's a piston. He's
saying the one it's most obvious for is the one with the lower
clearance.
A. That's what this email says.
Q. In fact, what we've got to remember here is the clearance
here y'all were telling the FDA was somewhere between 40 to
80, right?

A. Yes.
Q. "My best shot for why this is happening is that the
clearance overall towards the rim is too tight. The only
explanation I can see."
Here is his recommendation: "My recommendation is this.
We haven't started making the points here yet for
production." They're just making them for testing at that
point, right?
A. Yes.
Q. "Heads" -- that's the ball, right?
The ball is the head, right?
A. Yes.
Q. -- "will be made before cups. I would recommend that we
increase the inner diameter of the cup." That's actually the
liner. "Increase the inner diameter," is that right?
A. Yes.
Q. -- "to increase the clearance."
Right now the cup clearance is in the 40 to 80 range,
it's 60. "I don't have the drawings or I don't have Agile so
I can't tell you the dimensions. This might lose us some wear
performance." In other words, you may get more debris. These
people may get more debris, right?
That's what that means, lose wear performance, right?
A. Yes.
Q. -- "but not that much and would avoid this frictional

locking risk. The 36-millimeter one-piece devices I've tested
cleared at 100 to 130 microns.
"Regarding how much we increase the clearance, I'd
suggest 40, but that's just my intuition."
That's what happened November 10th, right?
A. Yes.
Q. So November 10th there's a problem alert and a request to
increase clearance. Right?
Correct?
A. Yes.
Q. Now, if we go to the next email, the next email is from
Frank Chan, "Yikes! I fully share your concern."
Then he talks about how simulators -- "Given that
simulators (under standard or adverse conditions) are still
perfect world," they're controlled scenarios. In other words,
simulators don't really simulate real life, do they?
A. Simulators are designed to be comparative tests. They --
we do the best we can --
MR. LANIER: Objection, nonresponsive.

Q. Simulators don't really simulate real life, do they?
A. I think it's debatable.

Q. And when we were watching the video, do you remember
Mr. Quattlebaum telling Jim would you stop it?
A. Yes.
Q. Because the simulator wasn't stopping on its own, was it?
A. Not in this test.
Q. No. Because simulators don't just take a few steps and
stop, they don't turn, they don't bend down, they don't climb
a stair. Certainly not the way you were programmed in testing
back then, correct?
A. Back then sort of those types of things were in their
infancy in the simulator design.
Q. Was that Yes, Mark, you are correct? You've got to
answer my question, ma'am.
A. Could you please ask the question again.
Q. Yes, ma'am.
Real life activities like y'all have on your brochures --
dancing, bowling, bicycling, just walking and stopping, going
up a hill, going down a hill, all the things that change the
way the hip is wearing -- those weren't included in these
simulator studies, were they?
A. They are included in simulator studies. It was not
included in this particular simulator study.
Q. Okay. But y'all were doing that back then in other
simulator studies?

A. After this date, we did it in other simulator studies.
Q. After this date?
A. Yes.
Q. As in when did you start using simulators with real life
data like I've just described?
A. First, to be clear, many I think of the activities you've
described are contained with a simulator cycle. I will grant
you probably not all of them.
And I would say what we would refer to maybe as adverse
testing for simulators was certainly just being developed in
about this time frame --
Q. Ma'am, I'm just asking, very simple: When did you start
testing the way you said, yes, we were testing that way, the
way I described? When was it?
I want to pull the test and I want to see.
When was it?
A. I'd have to refer to documents to know exactly when.
An example of that is --
Q. I won't ask for a specific date. Give me a year.
Before you started selling Pinnacle metal-on-metal.
A. I think in the 2002 time frame, but I can't promise. I
would need to see the report to give you the exact date.
Q. All right. We'll pull those as well over lunch and see
if we can look at those.
Meanwhile, he said "Those are perfect world controlled

scenarios, but these implants will be implanted under various
clinical conditions.
"I agree with you this friction issue may have important
clinical ramifications. I think the project core team needs
to address this pronto."
That's what you headed up, isn't it?
A. Yes.
Q. And so Leanne Turner -- you then get the next email in
the chain.
Ah, let's get a date on that last one.
This is, again, November 10th. It's get Leanne Turner to
weigh in, right? Project core team. Correct?
A. Yes.
Q. All right. Then we've got now November 13th is the next
on this chain, and again it's from Andrew Goldsmith. He says,
"The plan was to make some 36-millimeter liners to allow
testing of a hundred micron clearance. This aspect of the
production route was either lost in the telling or
misunderstood because the parts available for testing give us
the smaller spread."
So his recommendation is when new liners are available
test the hundred clearance.
But meanwhile, what he's doing is continuing with the
tests on the smaller clearance, isn't he?
A. As I recall, that test was stopped.

were looking at the timeline of what went down right up before
and into the time where y'all submitted your five -- your
application to the FDA to sell the Ultamet 36-millimeter
liners.
Remember all of that?
A. Yes.
Q. All right. What we didn't get to is we had just answered
the question about you having to use your persuasive powers on
regulatory to let the regulatory department that deals with
the FDA know what the company is doing, correct?
A. Yes.
Q. And that was on November 14th, the very day after
submission, that you are to use Leanne Turner, use persuasive
powers. Correct?
A. That's what the email says.
Q. Now, I'm sure you did your work well and you tried to use
your persuasive powers, didn't you?
A. That's not the way I would describe it.
Q. Well, I'm sure you at least, however you describe it,
went to regulatory and told them, "We know what we're
doing"?
A. Yes.
Q. So regulatory at that point, on November 14th, is aware
of the fact that incorrect information has been submitted to
the FDA, right?

Q. You didn't tell them?
A. Regulatory knew what the correct information -- we had
discussed with regulatory the change in the design parameters.
We had shared the information. The information did not make
its way into the exhibit as I previously discussed. So I
cannot say that they know, because at that time it was not
known to us, until 2005, that that table had not been properly
updated.
Q. Ma'am, the whole thing you were to let regulatory know
was that you had made a change and testing was going to make a
change. Everything got changed on the Friday before the
Monday submission. Right?
A. Yes.
Q. And these submissions aren't done -- Monday doesn't come
around and they say, okay, time to submit, and they just start
preparing things. That submission had been in preparation for
a long time, hadn't it?
A. It -- it had been in preparation.
Q. And there was a target date for it to be submitted,
wasn't there?
A. Internally we had a date, yes.
Q. And so you had a choice at that point in time. You could
say, time-out, we're not ready to go, we need to revamp the
way we're going to ask the FDA for permission because we may

choice. The alternative choice is just not to say anything at
all.
A. There wasn't a problem with the product.
Q. Ma'am, y'all made a change to the product for the
testing. You changed the clearance, this tightly controlled
imperative, very important, aspect, didn't you?
A. We did.
Q. And you changed it (indicating) right at the end, Friday
before a Monday submission, right?

been in place --

Now, this is where the FDA says that your device has been
approved. Correct?
A. That it has been cleared, yes.
Q. So we flip through that, and we get to the application
that your company made to the FDA. And it is dated November
13th, and it's on page 1, first page of the actual
application. Correct?
A. Yes.
Q. So we're clear, what we're doing here is y'all are saying
this 36-millimeter liner is substantially equivalent to the
28-millimeter, one that is four millimeters smaller in the
inside, correct?
A. Yes.
Q. In fact, what y'all call it in your application is "a
minor design modification." Is that correct?
A. Yes.
Q. Now, again, all of these pages, this is already prepared
before November 13th, isn't it?
A. If the submission was on November 13th, yes, they would
have been prepared --

it's only a minor design modification, aren't you?
A. Yes.
If you look down two more paragraphs, you'll see the
eligibility requirements for this particular type of
submission.
Q. Time-out, ma'am. I appreciate that.
And I'm following one train of thought here, and that's
diverting me to another one.
A. Okay.
Q. So he'll get a chance to come back up if there's
something else you want, but if you'll keep working with me
here, please --
A. Okay.
Q. -- before we move on.
So you tell the FDA this is a minor design modification
when in fact it's something that needs to be tightly
controlled, that is an imperative, where it can change the
wear and how long the implant works, correct?
A. Yes.
Q. That's not a minor design modification, that is actually
significant, isn't it?

Q. And you're not testing it with -- actually, the way you
are testing it, it is a minor design modification, but you
need to change it when you sell it and change the clearance,
don't you?
A. I'm sorry, I'm not following the question.
Q. All right. That's all right. We'll keep going.
We'll come back to it.
You've got a table of contents. Again, this isn't
something just done the last day, right?
A. Correct.
Q. You've got all of these exhibits that go with it, don't
you?

A. Yes.
Q. Then you've got this next page that you submit, which is
the summary, summary of safety and effectiveness. Correct?
A. Yes.
Q. And this is where you say that the 36 is basically the
same, or substantially equivalent, to the 28.
A. Yes.
Q. And you've got it down here.
But look how it says, "The Pinnacle 36 are nearly
identical to the Pinnacle liners that were previously
cleared."
Those are the 28 millimeter, right?
A. Yes.
Q. "The intended use, articular surface characteristics --"
now, the articular surface characteristics, that's going to
include the measurements, aren't they -- isn't it?
A. It's going to include the way that the components
interact with each other. Yes.
Q. Yes. So this is yet another place where it says they're
the same but that is false, because they are different, aren't
they?
A. No.
Q. Ma'am, what is the clearance of the 28 in microns?
A. 40 to 80.
Q. What is the clearance in microns for the 36?

A. 80 to 120.
Q. There is a difference between 40 to 80 and 80 to 120,
isn't there?
A. There is a difference in clearance. There is not a
difference in effective radius.
Q. Ma'am, I'm not asking about the effective radius. I'm
asking about the clearance.
This is clearance. Do you see that?
A. I do. But the broader topic is surface characteristics.
Q. Ma'am, the clearance is different, isn't it?
A. It is.
Q. And to say that there is no change or no difference in
the clearance would be patently untrue, wouldn't it?
MR. QUATTLEBAUM: Same objection, Your Honor.

the same, effective radius isn't anywhere on here, is it?
A. Effective radius is -- is an articular surface
characteristic.
Q. So is clearance.
A. Yes. They both are.
Q. So there's a clear ambiguity here. The clearance is
different, that's one surface characteristic. The effective
radius is not different, that's another surface
characteristic, isn't it?
A. By definition those two things cannot be the same,
ever.
MR. LANIER: Objection, nonresponsive.

BY MR. LANIER:
Q. Ma'am, those are both -- by the way you're defining them
they're both surface characteristics, aren't they?

never be true, could it?

Q. No. No. No. We want your testimony, but we want it
consistent with what's here.
So the surface characteristics, certainly clearance seems
to be one because it's specifically set out in a chart, isn't
it?
A. Yes.
Q. It doesn't say shell-to-head ratio clearance, does it?
A. This one does not.

one comes later. This is the one that you've got in your
files that you don't give the FDA, isn't it?
A. Correct.
Q. But you look at the one you gave the FDA, it doesn't say
ratio clearance, does it?
A. I'm sorry, the chart?
Q. Yes, ma'am.
A. It does not.
Q. All right. So what you're putting as the chart here, if
you continue to look, or if we continue to work through this,
you've got more info, more info, more info that this is true
and accurate and all the rest.
Then you get to the actual device description.
Do you see that?
A. Yes.
Q. Now, here's where you said we alerted them we have
changed the clearance.
That's your first bullet -- or second bullet point,
right, we've changed the clearance?
A. We've said the effective radius is the same.
Q. Does not say you changed the clearance, does it?
A. It does not.
Q. And if we continue to look, even under "modifications,"
does it say that you've modified the clearance?

was made, is it?

You do not put in here "We changed the clearance," that
critical imperative that must be tightly controlled.

the claim that is made by you when you signed and verified
this is, "Test results are on file and available for review at
DePuy."
A. Yes.
Q. The truth of the matter is y'all hadn't even finished the
test, had you?

documentation, to the testing for the equivalent surface

verification tests that were performed as a result of . . .
are listed below"?
A. Yes.
Q. That y'all tested it. Testing of the 36-millimeter inner
diameter shell assembled with the mating.
That doesn't say you tested the one-piece, does it?
A. It does not say that.
Q. So you're saying that that is either false or this
(indicating) is false because you had not finished the test
yet, had you?
A. This particular -- the following Ultamet test, no.
Q. So when y'all told the FDA that we've put the Ultamet
together, we've performed the test, it wears equivalent to or
less than 28, the results are on file, they're available for
review, that's all false --

you?

diameter with a 36 head, which we did in fact have.

A. Which --
Q. -- test.
A. Yes.
Q. That's not what you're trying to get clearance on.
This is not about showing that the one-piece worked.
This is about showing that the Ultamet worked, isn't it?

36-millimeter liner -- I mean inner diameter shell assembled
with a mating 36-millimeter.

A. For the 36-millimeter Ultamet, no.
Q. Which is what this whole thing is about.
This is not trying to get approval of the one-piece where
these two are combined into one -- it's not trying to get okay
of a one-piece, it's?
A. It is not.
Q. It's trying to get okay of a two-piece?
A. Correct.
Q. The two-piece is different than the one-piece, isn't it?
A. Yes.
Q. It's got even some differences beyond being just -- I
mean, y'all didn't just take the Ultamet liner and stick it in
the shell in the factory and ship it out as one piece?
There are other differences, aren't there?
A. Other differences between the 28 and the 36?

testing of the Ultamet liner with test results on file, had
there?
A. I'm sorry, Mr. Lanier, I don't know how to answer your
question. I believe we've met the requirement here, and
you've interpreted it differently. I'm not sure how to
respond.
Q. No, ma'am. It's simple. You're saying, oh, it's okay,
the FDA would have known we were talking about a different
device that we had already filed with them instead of this one
because we did our test on a different device. They would
have understood that.
And I -- I know that that's your position, but that's not
my question.
My question is: You've never done the test on this
device with the results on file, had you?

that is different. Correct?
A. Yes.
Q. And you have -- and that's already under submission to
the FDA or -- or at least under an IDE being looked at, right?
A. That's correct.
Q. Already before FDA.
But then you've got this brand-new device that you're
trying to get approval for. Right?
A. Yes.
Q. So you're trying to get FDA approval for a 36-millimeter
not one-piece but two-piece Pinnacle device, right?
A. Yes.
Q. And you had no test results on file for that. Correct?
A. Correct.
Q. And if the FDA had been given the test results instead of
saying they're on file and available for review -- if y'all
had actually given 'em to 'em, you'd have had to just give
them test results from a whole different piece of equipment,
wouldn't you?

you understand from this reading.
This doesn't say asterisk; it was a different device.
Does it?
A. It does not.
Q. If we continue to look at this, then you tell us, oh, we
told them in the drawings.
And so we've got these drawings. Right?
A. Yes.
Q. Okay. I put the arrow up here.
Where does it say what the radius is?
I'll zoom in.
A. That's --
Q. Not radius, excuse me.
Where does it say what the clearance will be between the
ball and the liner, this critical stuff, clearance? Where
does it say that?
A. It's not on this drawing. The clearance relies on the
mating part as well.
Q. I'm sorry?
A. The clearance relies on information from two different
drawings.
Q. Okay. Which drawing do we need for the information?

Okay. Now, where does it show us what the clearance is?
A. So this provides the K number which would have the
associated engineering drawings --
Q. Wait. Wait. Wait. Are you saying that what you did is
you told the FDA what the radius is and then the FDA could go
to another page to find out what the ball number is, could go
into their files and pull the file for the ball and then rifle
through that to try to find what the measurement is for the
ball and then do the math to figure out what the clearance
would be between the ball and the liner if you can work out
the math after having to chase down the ball that is given by
a file number when there's not even any reference or warning
that you need to do it?
Is that what you're saying?

Q. Ma'am, are you saying that what the FDA had an ability to
do is look at another page y'all filed with 'em, find the
ball, find the file number, go back in the FDA archives, pull
that file number, rifle through it to find the drawings for
that one, do the math for the radius on the ball, compare it
to the radius of the liner, and then do the mathematics
necessary to compute the clearance?
Is that what you're saying they had a chance to do?
A. Yes.
Q. I mean, the truth of the matter is, ma'am, you looked at
this submission the day it went in. And you looked at it
carefully, didn't you?
A. At the time I believed I had.
Q. Not only at the time, you know it because you have
initialed it. Aren't those your initials?
A. Yes.
Q. Didn't you make this change?
A. Yes.

the change, and you altered the submission, didn't you?

who follow up and check to make sure things are done right and
you've got independent checkers you said, nobody caught this
mistake?
A. To be clear, the independent checkers don't review each
and every aspect. They are part of the review process, just
so that's clear.
Yes, we -- in review of the submission we made a mistake.
Q. Ma'am, you knew about this not just then, but this
continued to be an issue that you were having to deal with in
the next few days, wasn't it?
A. I'm not sure what you're referring to.
Q. Ma'am, I'm referring to the fact y'all still had a
problem over there trying to figure out what you were going to
test versus what you were selling. Right?
A. We weren't selling anything at that point.
Q. What you were going to sell.
A. Okay.
Q. By the way, when did you finally start testing what you
were selling?
Let me ask it this way: What was the clearance, assuming
y'all made the parts right, in the 36-millimeters that our
claimants, our patients, have?
What was their clearance?
A. The design specification?
Q. Yes, ma'am.

Q. 80 to 120?
A. Yes.
Q. Contrary to what you told the FDA, so they all got the
false one; is that right?
MR. QUATTLEBAUM: Same objection, Your Honor.
THE COURT: Overruled.

Q. They got ones that -- based on the false information,
that had been approved on false information, correct?

Q. Here's Exhibit Number 4071. This is an email you sent
out two days later. You sent this email out on November 16th
of 2000, didn't you?
A. Yes.
Q. You sent this out about core team meeting minutes because
your entire team met on this issue, didn't it?
A. No.
Q. "Pinnacle metal-on-metal project core team meeting
minutes, November 16th."
Do I have that right?
A. Yes.

Q. You were there Leanne Turner --
A. Yes.
Q. -- correct?
Here are the notes from the meeting. Do you see that?
A. Yes.
Q. One of the things that y'all discussed at the meeting was
the change to the metal-on-metal clearance for 36, correct?
A. Yes.
Q. Here's where you said the anomalies were attributed to
problems with the pneumatic cylinder, but research and
development still recommend changing the clearance from 60 to
a hundred.
Do you see that?
A. Yes.
Q. "The current 36 at 60 will continue to run on the
simulator until a decision is made on replacement parts."
So y'all just continued to run the test on the wrong
parts -- wrong sized parts, right?
A. That's correct. As of that date.
Q. Yeah.
And my point is, ma'am, as of November 16th y'all are
still dealing with this issue, and you still know, as does
your entire team at that point that was there, about this

problem, don't you?
MR. QUATTLEBAUM: Objection, Your Honor. I don't
know what "this problem" is referring to. We've talked about
different things.
So my objection I guess is to the vagueness of the
question.
THE COURT: Overruled.
BY MR. LANIER:
Q. Your team knows the clearance has changed from what you
told the FDA, right?
A. We believed we had at that point correctly communicated
to the FDA.
Q. Ma'am --
A. The team knew that there was a change to the design, yes.
Q. There's only one place in the FDA submission for you to
compare the clearance. The articulation requirements you said
were the same, 40 to 80 microns clearance on diameter. Do you
see that?
A. Yes.
Q. And that is the articulation requirements, correct?
A. Yes.
Q. Articulation is articular, isn't it?
A. Yes.
Q. The articulation surface requirements. And we are
talking here about the surface, aren't we?

"same articular requirements," didn't you?
A. Yes.
Q. That's why I'm suggesting to you that that is false,
because if those articular requirements are the articular
requirements that you've listed, it's false, isn't it?
MR. QUATTLEBAUM: Same objection.
THE COURT: Overruled.
BY MR. LANIER:
Q. If the articular requirements are the articulation
requirements, then what you've told them is false, even where
you think you meant something different, right?

BY MR. LANIER:
Q. Okay. Now, this problem continued even after November of
2000, because you also had a problem that arose in Canada,
didn't you?

A. Can you clarify also "this problem continued"?
I'm not sure the specific problem you're referring to.

A. Thank you.
Q. -- 4074.
You bet.
You got 4074?
A. Yes.
Q. All right. Let's start near the back so that we get a
flow, second from the back, so we can make sense out of what
this is.
September 2001, Ann Williams, she's with Canada, right?
A. Yes.
Q. She's trying to get this Ultamet approved in Canada,
isn't she?
A. Yes.
Q. And in the process she says she has a concern.
"Claudia alludes to the fact the components have changed
recently, the drawings have been marked up. I'm trying to
determine what these changes are, when and why they occurred,
what, if any, additional information has been submitted or
prepared in terms of description, justification, testing."
Do you see that?
A. Yes.
Q. Was she talking about the changes we've been discussing?
A. Yes.

Q. Then you answer her. You, Leanne Turner, write to her in
2001 about the Ultamet. That's the Pinnacle metal liner,
right?
A. Yes.
Q. And you said, "I'm the development engineer for the
Pinnacle metal liner, Ultamet. The changes to the drawings
have been very minor."
A. Yes.
Q. "There were some changes to tolerances and a change to
the product description on the drawing; none of these changes
warranted additional product testing or FDA submissions."
Ma'am, you don't tell her you changed the clearance, did
you?
A. No.
Q. Even though the clearance must be tightly controlled, is
imperative, and changes wear and how long the implant works.
You don't tell her that, do you?
You don't tell her that, do you?
A. I'm sorry, I'm just trying to pull up my copy of the
engineering drawing, if you don't mind.
So I think that I have misspoke in my email because I
don't see a change to tolerance on this revision, the change
to the spherical radius, so it's possible that I meant change
to clearance.
I'm just trying to -- I don't see a specific tolerance

change on here. I think I misspoke.
Q. Ma'am, can you answer my question, please?
A. It does not say clearance, no.
Q. You don't tell her you changed the clearance, do you?
A. No, I do not.
Q. In fact, what you say here -- you don't even say it's the
way we submitted it to the FDA.
You said none of these changes warrant FDA submission, in
other words, we don't even need to tell the FDA. That's what
you said, isn't it?
A. So that would mean a submission on top of a submission
that had already been made.
Q. Right. None of the changes --
A. And there had not been a previous submission on those
particular components.
Q. Ma'am, you said none of the changes "warranted"
additional FDA submissions. That's what you said, isn't it?
A. Right. But there was --
Q. We get a glimpse here into -- I'm sorry to interrupt you,
ma'am. I apologize. That's rude, but part of this process,
so please excuse me.
We get a glimpse into your mind at that moment that you
were thinking changes to tolerances, change to the product
description, you don't tell her about changing the clearance,
and you don't tell her that the changes -- you didn't -- you

tell her I didn't think those changes warranted adding to what
we told the FDA. Right?
A. I don't think that's correct.
Q. All right. Let's be clear on one thing, and that's our
timeline here.
It's always possible that the company can say to the FDA,
FDA, we need to change something, to change what we've
submitted, we need to add to it, take away from it.
The company can say that, but the company did not,
correct?
MR. QUATTLEBAUM: Same objection, Your Honor.
THE COURT: Overruled.
BY MR. LANIER:
Q. In other words, y'all could have written the FDA on
Tuesday and said time-out, our chart is wrong. Time-out, we
said that it was the same articular requirements, but it's
not.
A. Had we known on the Tuesday, we would have told them.
Q. Ma'am, y'all were having meetings on Wednesday, knew the
clearance had changed from what you gave the FDA. On
Wednesday you didn't tell them, did you?
A. No. We knew that the clearance had changed. We did not
know that it was different from what had been submitted to the
FDA.
MR. LANIER: Objection, nonresponsive.

Q. Ma'am, and then you get an email back from Ann Williams
who's still struggling with this.
"I have a few more clarifications/requests."
"Drawings - are any final (with new names and tolerances)
available to be sent to me. If not, are `marked up´ versions
available for all Ultamet. Claudia sent me the 28 but I don't
have any for the 36."
Ma'am, were you trying to hide something by not sending
those to her?
A. Absolutely not.
Q. Okay. Continue to chart through this email, please.
That was September 17th.
Do you see the date?
A. Yes.
Q. Then she writes you again. You have not written her as
of September 20th.
She write again, "Leanne, my confusion with this project
grows yet again. I requested test reports from Leeds, and the
only report they provided me with doesn't seem to match any of
those referenced in the 510(k)."
"Help!
"I highly suspect that if I send the submission without

How can I find these reports?"
Did I read that correctly?
A. Yes.
Q. And, again, you don't answer.
And so we have the next one, September 26th, "Leanne, I'd
greatly appreciate your advice regarding my previous questions
(see email below) . . . I am extremely anxious to complete
this project."
Do you see that?
A. I do.
Q. Then you do finally answer Thursday the 27th, and you
said, "Ann, the simulator test report referenced below sounds
like the correct one to me. For your information, we did not
submit this report with our 510(k) submission for
28-millimeter components," for the smaller one. "We said they
were equivalent to the Ultima product because the articular
parameters --" and there when you say it, you use the word
"clearance," don't you?
A. That's what it says there.
Q. That's what you said there, isn't it?
A. Yes.
Q. You don't say radius, you say clearance, don't you?
A. I don't list all of the articular parameters there.
Q. "Were identical. Therefore, we submitted the wear data

for Ultima" for the 28?
A. Yes.
Q. "For the 36-millimeter components we claimed equivalents
to the 28 Ultamet with the only change being inner dimensions
diameter."
Doesn't say clearance, does it?
A. No.
Q. Left it out, didn't you?
A. That is not the way I would say it.
Q. Well, it isn't in there, is it?
I mean, that's a change, right?
A. It would have been a change whether the change was to --
if the clearance was the same or different, by your definition
it would have been a change.
Q. "We referenced 36-millimeter one-piece metal-on-metal
wear data --" of course, nowhere in the submission do you say
that's what you're referencing, do you?
A. We say "data on file."
Q. Right. It doesn't say that it's data for a different
device, do you?
A. It does not specify, no.
Q. Then you get the email back, where she says, "Hi, Leanne,
Now that our recall has calmed down a bit, I'm looking again
to clear up any remaining inquiries on this never ending
project!

"I still have not had any luck tracking down the actual

"Is there any way to track down these reports?
Both Warsaw and Leeds are telling me they don't have them at
their facility. I'm quite certain the Canadian government
will want to see detailed reports, rather than just the
`summary´ . . ."
You never answered that, did you?
At least according to this. You just let it lie, right?
A. I don't see a response here.
Q. Now, ma'am, what you did here was something that in
itself shows a bit of a rush to market, wouldn't you agree?
A. No.
Q. I mean, y'all could have run tests on the real deal,
couldn't you?
You had the simulator. You had everything you needed,
didn't you?
A. And we did run tests.
Q. No. Before you sold it and submitted to the FDA. Before
you submitted it to the FDA, you could have run a wear test on
the real deal, couldn't you?
A. We could have.
Q. And you did not?
A. We did not.

finish. Correct?
A. Correct.
Q. And the one you started wound up having the wrong
dimensions anyway, because you had to change the clearance?
Right?
A. Correct.
Q. So y'all went ahead and submitted to the FDA without
having tested the real deal and without having -- I mean,
making a -- a critical change Friday before you submitted.
Correct?
A. I'm sorry. Could you repeat the full question?
Q. Yes, ma'am.
Y'all submitted to the FDA without ever having tested to
completion the real deal and making a critical change Friday
before the Monday submission. Correct?
MR. QUATTLEBAUM: Same objection, Your Honor.
THE COURT: Overruled.
THE WITNESS: Correct.
BY MR. LANIER:
Q. And you did it because you did have an internal time that
had been set out. There was a calendar of when y'all were
expected to submit, wasn't there?
A. That's not why.
Q. There was an internal calendar, wasn't there?
A. There was a project plan, yes.

stop the submission and hold back, we've got a major change
we're making, and we have not had a chance to really test this
product yet. You could have said that, didn't -- couldn't
you?
A. We could have.
Q. But you did not, did you?
A. No.
Q. Instead, y'all continued to market because y'all were
trying to get to that slide with bags of money.
A. So we did not continue to market. The regulatory
submission is not -- did not coincide with releasing the
product to the market.
Q. I'm sorry. Say that again.
A. The regulatory submission did not coincide with the
release of the product to the market.
Q. No. You got permission to release a month later, in
December of 2000?
A. Yes and that still is in advance of when we marketed the
product.
Q. But you still had not finished your test results.
A. When we received clearance?
Q. Right.
A. Correct.

Q. But we know because of this presentation that you're
looking at -- If we just go back a couple of slides from what
we're looking at there -- go back to page 261 -- this came
about in a big meeting that was held, final design review,
February 23rd, 2001.
This is one where you're there, Mr. Ekdahl that the jury
has met, and others, correct?
A. Yes. So do I have a copy of that?
Q. Yes, ma'am. This is the one you were testifying about
with him, so I've got the copy he gave me. This is 253, it
was like a hundred -- couple hundred pages.
This is the one with your bags of money slide, remember?
I was just backing up. If it helps, I'll put it up here
extra big so you can see it.
A. I'm not sure extra big helps, but I'll try to --
Q. I think this is a set. Maybe he just pulled it out on
the slide and didn't pass it up to you.

the Ultima, that's the 28 inch -- or 28-millimeter Ultima,
right?
Y'all were all being told you didn't have to wait for the
end result because you had already gotten approval by saying
data on file, correct?
A. We weren't saying that we didn't need it for submission
to FDA. What that says --
I'm sorry. Would you mind putting that back up?
Q. I apologize, ma'am. In other words, y'all were saying we
don't have to finish the wear test we're doing. We've already
gotten approval to release the product?
A. Okay. So that is not what that says.
Q. "Completion of wear test indicated on the project plan is
not a requirement for releasing product."
A. Yes. The project plan and the regulatory submission are
not the same thing.
Q. Okay. If you'll look, you'll see what the plan is in the
slides.
Final project review, do you see that?
A. Yes.
Q. And it includes the final review of the project plan.
Do you see that?
A. Yes.
Q. Then if you look at the next one, release. Regulatory
approval. You had already gotten regulatory approval?

510(k) process to get your approval, right?
A. Yes.
Q. And here's the way it went.
You just had to say that something was substantially
equivalent in safety and effectiveness to another product,
correct?
A. Yes.
Q. So here's the 510(k) chain.
Your company got, first, approval of the 28-millimeter
Pinnacle metal-on-metal, right?

That's our first link in the chain, 28-millimeter
Pinnacle metal-on-metal. Correct?
A. That's probably not the first link in the chain, but
we'll see where the chain goes.
Q. The chain has got links going -- You're right. The chain
has got links going back before it, all the way back a long
way in time.
But let's pick up with the first Pinnacle link in the
chain. All right?
A. All right. Yes.
Q. And then the next Pinnacle link in the chain is the
Pinnacle 36, which is the one that y'all said was
substantially equivalent, even though it had the clearance
issues you didn't alert anybody to, right?
It was linked to 28. Right?
A. I will agree that it was linked to 28.
Q. And then off of the Pinnacle is where y'all were coming
with another link, and this was ASR, the recalled product,
right?
A. My understanding is that it was a product that I was not
involved in that submission.
Q. Well, the ASR submission said we're just like the
Pinnacle, and the Pinnacle had said they were just like the
28.
A. Substantially equivalent.

Q. Yep. The problem arose because of the clearance
difference in ASR.
See, y'all had told the -- let's -- let's -- let's do
here in highlighted yellow. This is the story to the FDA.
This is what y'all told the FDA. Okay?
Do you follow me?
A. Yes.
Q. All right. So FDA is told -- FDA is told that the
Pinnacle metal-on-metal has a clearance of what?
A. 40 to 80 microns.
Q. And the FDA is told that the Pinnacle has a clearance of
40 to 80 as well, right?
A. One of the things they were told, yes.
Q. Now, if we've done that as the -- what's told the FDA,
let's add to our chart here what the truth is. Okay?
MR. QUATTLEBAUM: Same objection, Your Honor.
THE COURT: Overruled.
BY MR. LANIER:
Q. Do you follow what I mean?
A. Yes.
Q. All right. So here under "truth" the clearance of the
Pinnacle 28 is in fact 40 to 80, isn't it?
A. Yes.
Q. But the truth of the matter is the clearance for the
Pinnacle 36 is much higher. It's 80 to 120, correct?

it as much higher.
Q. Ma'am, that's two times higher than the low. The low to
low is twice, right?
A. My measure comes from --
MR. LANIER: Objection, nonresponsive.
THE COURT: Sustained.
BY MR. LANIER:
Q. Ma'am, simple math, low-to-low is twice as much?
A. Yes.
Q. Then the ASR?
A. Not quite twice for the nominal. Twice on just the low
end.
Q. The ASR -- Look at what y'all told the FDA your clearance
was for the ASR. It's on page 10. You'll be able to see on
the chart on page 10 because the FDA has got a question.
The FDA questions on page 10 the following: They said
"The clearances and tolerances" -- See, they use that word
"clearances" like you did in your email. -- "change from 100
to 170." But Pinnacle is just 39 to 60.
So when y'all made the claim that ASR is the same as
Pinnacle, and you made that claim that the ASR -- you showed
it to be 100 to 170, then, of course, the FDA said, whoa, time
out, we've got a problem here, there's a big difference
between those two.

you had done, correct?
Do you see that, ma'am?
A. I'm sorry? On page --
Q. This is where y'all had to write the FDA and explain that
y'all had given them the wrong stats?
A. Yes.
Q. You said, ah, we were wrong, turns out Pinnacle is 80 to
120, not what we had previously told you. Right?
A. Yes.
Q. And that's where y'all did the "oops." Right?
A. Yes.
Q. And it's within that framework that the FDA writes the
letter that you were looking at earlier, isn't it?
A. Yes.
Q. And so now the FDA writes a letter -- and then
demonstrative 3122, the FOIA, it's on page 11 -- but the FDA
writes a letter to y'all and says the following, In your
application for the 36 liners, the comparison chart that you
have to file, Exhibit 4, says that the 28 and 36 have
identical diametrical clearances of 40 to 80. However, DePuy
has now told us on the ASR table that the 36 liners actually
have a clearance of 80 to 120. So we called DePuy to clarify
the clearance. DePuy discovered the chart in Exhibit 4 is
incorrect. According to engineering drawings, 36 has 80 to

"The sponsor has submitted this add-to-file to correct
the mistake."

Q. Been selling these things for five years?
A. Yes.
Q. "According to current practices the diametrical clearance
of a system" -- Can you read that?
A. ". . .cannot be changed --"

That means without testing it in people, doesn't it?
A. Yes.
Q. Doesn't mean without testing another device. It means
without testing that device in people, correct?
A. Actually, having not authored this I can't speak
definitively that that was their intent.
Q. "Given this new information, the Pinnacle 36 would not
have been cleared in 2000."
A. That's what they say.
Q. "However, after searching the Medical Device Reporting
Program for adverse events associated with Pinnacle 36, there
were only 5 adverse events reported."
Do you know what those five events were?
A. Only to the extent that they are referenced in this

Q. All right. If -- if as I ask you questions you need
them, I've got them with copies.
Let's keep going.
Three were for failure of the liner and shell to line up
appropriately. One was a patient revised due to pain. And
one gave no details. It was actually a split package.
All right?
Over the same period of time the comparable Sulzer
metal-on-metal had 25 adverse events, Zimmer had three
regarding the 28 and three on their head, so during -- Of
course, Sulzer, that's a small one, that's a 28 as well, isn't
it?
A. Yes.
Q. Therefore, during the same period, the 36 Pinnacle system
had a reasonable number of adverse events reported. So the
sponsor will not need to submit a new 510(k) based on the new
information.
In other words, it looks like it's working okay. We'll
let that be the clinical data. That's kind of what it says,
right?
Right?
A. Yes. Based on this document.
Q. Now, your company actually had dozens of adverse event
reports at this point in time that they had not told the FDA

4117, this is in a DePuy complaint database, April 20th,
2004, over a year earlier. It's got the record number.
Territory 217.
"Painful right hip, metallosis on the head, check for
wear. Examination of the returned product could not confirm
the complaint. Exact root cause for this event could not be
firmly established. However, information provided with the
complaint suggests the patient may have experienced an
allergic reaction to the metal. Based on the investigation,
this is the first complaint of this type against either
product code and as such the need for corrective action has
not been indicated."
And it's got the actual complaint itself as opposed to
the way the company construes the data.
MR. QUATTLEBAUM: Object to hearsay, Your Honor.

wasn't included that the FDA did not know about. Do you see?
MR. QUATTLEBAUM: Same Buckman objection, Your

FDA's correspondence is that they were looking at MDRs, which
is separate from the complaint report system.

when the company gets a complaint.
A. No.
Q. The company files a medical device report, correct?
A. Not for every complaint, no.
Q. Ma'am, look at the ones that the company filed. They
came out of the complaint database export.
Let me show you one that the company filed that's
included. I'll give you Plaintiff's Exhibit 4110.

Surely metallosis is an adverse event, isn't it?
A. I don't know under this what the -- what the definitions
that were used in terms of that determination.
Q. Ma'am, you understand the company had dislocations that
were not reported, infection revisions that were not reported,
more dislocation revisions not reported, more, more, seating
and proper seating not reported?

Q. You got some bonuses for the way you handled all of this
on the FDA clearances, didn't you?

Q. Well, what you -- I'm handing you a copy of the -- your
personnel file.
I was looking at 2001, 12/23 of 2001. Looks like you got
a $5,000 bonus as part of the -- you got -- you won the J&J
achievement award. And you got that for your work on the
Pinnacle cup project, didn't you?
A. Yes.
Q. In addition to that, you got another $3,000 that year in
a bonus for another J&J achievement award, this one -- oops.

lauded -- this is page 77 of that -- for the way you were able
to balance the art of persuasion with your follow-up required
to confirm that milestones are met.
You kept the project on schedule, didn't you?
A. Yes.
Q. In fact, while you said you were offended by the
suggestion there was a rush to market, that's part of what you
got those bonuses for, isn't it?
A. No.
Q. This is January 2002, the month after the bonuses, when
you get your evaluation. "A challenge with this project was a
final piece of wear data was being established by the Leeds
research group while the components were moving into the
production environment. Leanne found herself in the very
delicate situation of needing to manage the results of the
wear testing with delivering the product to the shelf to allow
for an on-time product introduction. Leanne worked very hard
to keep all members of the project core team focused on the
common goal of balancing on-time delivery with making sure the
supporting research was in place.
"The resulting outcome of this dynamic ultimately meant
delaying the introduction of the product into the marketplace,
but the delay did not have an adverse effect on the sales
performance over the course of the year."
That was your praise, wasn't it?

you later today, or in the morning.

were not involved in aSphere, that head that had the little
bit shaved off. Remember?
A. I was not part of the development team.
Q. "I was not involved with the actual review of aSphere or
any of the development."
And I asked: Did you have anything to do with the
engineering or the aSphere at all -- anything to do with
engineering or the aSphere at all while you were at DePuy?
"I did not."
Do you see that?
A. Yes.
Q. The reason I was asking is because of a document that we
have from the files, Plaintiff's Exhibit 325, where the
worldwide hip business team was meeting around the aSphere
time. And in this meeting you'll see on the second page
strategic priorities, and the strategic priorities then go to
project reviews.

Is this just a typo?

Q. Because, I mean, you can see why it would make someone
think you maybe had something to do with aSphere, can't you?
A. I can certainly see that.
Q. All right. Next. You testified yesterday that Johnson &
Johnson is a distinct company from DePuy. Correct?
A. Yes.

Johnson & Johnson, because Johnson & Johnson is actually
closely involved in the DePuy things, aren't they?
A. I would imagine that -- depends on how you define
"close."
Q. All right. Well, before you testify that they were
separate entities that seem to have nothing to do with each
other, did you take into account Plaintiff's Exhibit 521,
where Johnson & Johnson actually approves marketing the
36-millimeter head even after all of the things you and I went
through this morning?

noted and there should have been a claw back or a request like
that.
Number two, this is not an attorney-client privilege
issue in this case in terms of what this lawsuit is about or
anything close. This is just the approval that comes out from
Johnson & Johnson's legal department for DePuy.
For it to be an attorney-client privilege would include
the fact that they've got to admit on the record that
Johnson & Johnson does all of their legal work and are the
lawyers for DePuy, which itself is -- is something.
But the process --

MR. LANIER: Okay.
THE COURT: Okay.
MR. LANIER: I'll move on to something --
THE COURT: Just come back to it in a little bit.
MR. LANIER: Got it, Your Honor. Got it. Thank
you, judge.

to various DePuy-approved surgeons. Did you know that?
A. I was not aware of the owner.
Q. I'll show you document demonstrative 3851, the results
for hipreplacement.com, it's a registered domain of Johnson &
Johnson.
Do you see that?
A. I do.
MR. QUATTLEBAUM: Objection, Your Honor, no personal
knowledge and hearsay.
THE COURT: Overruled.
BY MR. LANIER:
Q. YouTube. You're familiar with YouTube?
A. Yes.
Q. You got kids, you got to be familiar with YouTube, right?
Johnson & Johnson has its own YouTube channel or section.
Are you familiar with that?
A. Yes.
Q. And the YouTube Johnson & Johnson section, demonstrative
3847, is an actual Johnson & Johnson video that has video --
or YouTube site that has videos about health, family, and
social responsibility.
Do you see that?
A. I see that.
Q. And that Johnson & Johnson web site on YouTube has all of
these DePuy patient testimonials about total hip replacement

these?
MR. QUATTLEBAUM: Objection to the hearsay, Your
Honor, and to 403 and 402.
THE COURT: Overruled.
THE WITNESS: I was not aware of these.

Q. I mean, that puts Captain Peterson to shame. 512 miles.
Hear from John, an avid cyclist who returned to his active
lifestyle after a double hip replacement. Empowered by his
two DePuy Pinnacle hips John was able to continue.
Bonnie's journey with her golfing and traveling.
Alvin's journey.
Michelle's journey.
Coach K.
All of these are on the Johnson & Johnson web site. Did
you know that?
A. No.
Q. When you said Johnson & Johnson is a distinct company,
had you considered how they have all of these different videos
for DePuy on Johnson & Johnson's YouTube station?
A. Still separate companies.
Q. Well, ma'am, are you considering though the way Johnson &
Johnson reached into the DePuy company and orchestrated events

evidence, Your Honor.
THE COURT: Overruled.
THE WITNESS: I'm sorry. The question again,
please?
BY MR. LANIER:
Q. Yes, are you familiar -- Well, let's do, for example. In
2006, there was this big webcast with 1,500 surgeons from the
U.S. and Canada tuned in, and it was introduced by none other
than the CEO of Johnson & Johnson before Dr. Schmalzried and
Graham Isaac and others started talking about how useful
metal-on-metal is.
Do you know about this?
A. No.
MR. LANIER: Juan, if we could have that ready to
play, please.
My team, what's the exhibit number on the video? 122,
Your Honor -- 121, Your Honor, for the record.
THE COURT: Okay.
MR. LANIER: And can we turn down the lights?

Isaac who wrote the End Game memo, isn't he?
A. Yes.
Q. He's going to talk here about fluid film lubrication.
You understand that for most of the cycle the DePuy Pinnacle
metal-on-metal works in the mix or boundary lubrication
regime, right?
A. I know the lubrication varies throughout the cycle. I'm
not sure -- I can't speak to what percentage. I'm sorry.
Q. The gentleman who started this launch -- the gentleman
who started this launch was the CEO of Johnson & Johnson,
wasn't he?
A. Opened the session, yes.
Q. Yes, ma'am.
The doctor we saw up there if we were going to listen for
an hour -- Dr. Schmalzried, Graham Isaac, Dr. Andy Engh -- a
lot of people up there who get a lot of royalty money off of
those products, aren't there?
A. They receive royalties on those products -- on
metal-on-metal products, yes.
Q. All right. If we continue to look at the Johnson &
Johnson involvement, Johnson & Johnson would step in if they
thought there was an issue with the media and the way the
media was handling DePuy's Pinnacle metal-on-metal hips,
wouldn't it?
A. I believe that depending -- we had some corporate

communications. So a particular department might report up
through a different area.
Q. Well, on document number 595, we see a letter from
Johnson & Johnson to CBS television because there had been
some question about the direct-to-consumer advertising by
Pinnacle -- by DePuy, correct?
A. That's what it says.
Q. The letter says "Dear Ms. Allio, As regulatory counsel
for DePuy, I'm writing in regards to a direct-to-consumer
advertisement entitled `Never Stop Moving 60 Seconds.' Please
not that direct-to-consumer advertisements for medical devices
are not required to be sent to the FDA for preclearance. I
have reviewed this advertisement and believe that it meets the
regulatory requirements for advertisements for medical
devices."
Do you see that?
A. I see that.
Q. So the advertisements are being reviewed and being
approved by Johnson & Johnson, aren't they?
A. That's what the letterhead says. I'm not sure about the
reporting structure for the individual who wrote this.
Q. Ma'am, you can see the signatory on it, Marlene Tandy,
assistant general counsel, Johnson & Johnson. Do you see
that?
A. Johnson & Johnson Services, Inc.

Q. Yes, ma'am.
Then she goes on -- she talks about the knee. I'm going
to skip through the knee part and get to the hip part.
"DePuy Orthopaedics commercially distributes a hip
implant with the lowest reported wear and friction from
movement as measured by ion levels in blood."
And we could fuss about this if you want to later. I
don't want you to think I agree with that, but regardless,
it's a claim that's being made by the Johnson & Johnson lawyer
on behalf of DePuy, isn't it?
A. Yes.
Q. "This hip implant, the metal Pinnacle hip bearing, uses
TrueGlide technology, which refers to exclusive design and
manufacturing tolerances including optimized clearance."
And here y'all claim optimized clearance to be between 80
and 120, correct?
A. Yes.
Q. She says, "These features allow the hip bearing to
achieve a state of natural lubrication."
Do you see that?
A. I see that.
Q. Now, ma'am, you know for a fact that the lubrication is
not all that is claimed -- it -- it is not full fluid
lubrication throughout the cycle, walking cycle, correct?
A. That's my understanding.

has, DePuy, a Johnson & Johnson company, correct?
A. Yes.
Q. In fact, it's well-known and your company has made it a
point to trade off the strength of the Johnson & Johnson name.
Isn't that true?
A. I'm afraid I can't speak to that.
Q. Johnson & Johnson has approved as well the 99.9 percent
claim from the PIN study. You're familiar with that study I
know. Did you know Johnson & Johnson approved that?
A. I'm not aware of any of the approval process for that.
Q. Did you know that Johnson & Johnson's CEO was actually
involved in monitoring and keeping track of the aSphere head
that Margaret Aoki has and how it was coming out on the
market?
Did you know about that?
A. I have not.
Q. I showed you the document, Plaintiff's Exhibit 496.
The jury has seen other documents but not this one
dealing with aSphere. So we'll put it into context.
"Team" -- This is Paul Berman. "Midyear sales meetings will
mark the official launch of aSphere metal bearings. Michael
Rhee and Polly Cary will partner with Tom Schmalzried to
deliver the power of aSphere message to all our
representatives."

Q. Now, did you know Dr. Schmalzried at this point had
already quit using metal-on-metal?
A. No.
Q. It may have been 2010, but at least some of the designers
had quit as of 2009. Did you know that?
A. No.
Q. "To prepare for this official launch, our partners in
operations have stretched their capacity to double the aSphere
supply commitment in 2009. They're ready to deliver as much
demand as we can create over the next 24 months.
"With growing price pressure and lingering questions
about metal debris and ions, we must strike fast and hard with
this launch to sustain our metal bearing surfaces growth and
capture maximum unit growth and market share."
Boy, it sure seems like he's hurrying this to market?
A. In 2009?
Q. Yes, ma'am.
A. I'm failing to see the connection of our earlier rush to
market in 2001 to 2009.
Q. Oh, I think the theme would be that it was constant.
Each time you had a new product, you wanted to get it out as
quickly as you could, didn't you?
A. I can't speak to that. I was not involved in this.

teams expedite." That means make it faster, right?
A. Yes.
Q. -- "adoption. This document clearly articulates where
you should fight for price and where it is appropriate to
match price to the older head."
Do you see that?
A. I see that.
Q. "This is a strategy to help remove barriers and speed the
process."
Here are the targets: "First, competitive metal bearings
users." Those are your competition, try to get their
customers, right?
A. Yes.

and wear.
"Or current metal customers who are interested and
willing to pay extra for new technology.

company, Alex Gorsky. "Alex, as a follow-up to our hip
discussion in Warsaw" -- And when I say president of the

Q. All right. So head of marketing for hips sends this to
the president of Johnson & Johnson on the pricing and
targeting strategy for aSphere?
"Alex, as a follow-up to our hip discussion in Warsaw,
below is an update on our new aSphere metal bearing launch.
I've also attached a supporting aSphere print ad that will run
in July in key trade journals."
The president writes back, "Thanks, Paul . . . I'll
review and let you know if I have any comments."
A. I'm sorry. If I can correct one thing.
In this time frame I'm -- I'm not aware of what Alex
Gorsky's position was in the organization at that time.
Q. He's president today, isn't he?
A. Not president, I don't believe.
Q. What is he today? CEO?
A. I think that's correct.
Q. Chairman -- chief executive -- He's the top, the top of
big momma company Johnson & Johnson, right?
A. Yes.
Q. So you don't know if he was the president at the time or
where he was on that track, but he's clearly Johnson &
Johnson. He's not DePuy?

done some research on it.
MR. LANIER: Okay.
THE COURT: Overrule your objection.
BY MR. LANIER:
Q. Ma'am, with that, Johnson & Johnson was approving a lot
of different stuff, weren't they?
Let's go back. We'll do some documents now. I'm handing
you Plaintiff's Exhibit 517. Here we see Johnson & Johnson
approving the Pinnacle survival poster presentation that was
at least by our allegations false.
Do you see it?
Final approval?
A. I see that.
Q. Marlene Tandy. She has to give the approval and the
sign-off. She's with Johnson & Johnson, correct?
A. I believe it is Johnson & Johnson Services, Inc., was on
her previous --
Q. Yes, ma'am. Part of the legal team there, right?
A. Yes.

Tandy, didn't it?
Plaintiff's Exhibit 467.
A. Yes.
Q. This is the design rationale for the Pinnacle booklet.
Johnson & Johnson had to give approval for the aSphere
design rationale as well, didn't it?
Plaintiff's Exhibit 518. ASphere design rationale.
First signature. First approval. Do you see that?
A. I see that.
Q. Johnson & Johnson had to approve an email with the Coach
K ad. The jury has seen Plaintiff's Exhibit 45 --
A. Thank you.
Q. -- which is the Coach K ad. Let me give you the cover
and that page. That is Plaintiff's Exhibit 3860.
Marlene Dawn -- "Please take a look at the revised ad and
give me your approval or changes by email, Marlene Tandy,
Johnson & Johnson." Correct?
A. Johnson & Johnson Services, yes.
Q. In fact, there's a little edit that's made on here.
This "Pinnacle has a 99.9 percent survivorship at five
years," we know that's bogus, don't we?
A. I don't agree with that.

you?
A. Yes.
Q. And, ma'am, the PIN study only dealt with the cups. It
didn't deal with the entire system, did it?
A. My understanding of the PIN study is that it incorporated
multiple bearings.
Q. I'm sorry. I can't hear you.
A. I thought in the full PIN study that there were different
bearings.
Q. Yes, there is, ma'am.
My point is the 99.9 percent survivorship, that was based
on only on survivorship of the cup.
A. The Pinnacle as highlighted, yes.
Q. In other words, you can't sit there next to the picture
of the ball, the liner, and the shell -- You can't sit there
in the paragraph talking about TrueGlide technology which
optimizes the clearance between the ball and the liner and say
you've got 99.9 percent survivorship because even if that
study were correct, it's only talking about the shell, not the
liner, not the ball, right? At 99.9 percent.
A. Yes. My understanding is that applies to the shell.
Q. Yeah. By the way, when this got approval somehow from
Ms. Tandy. Coach K doesn't even have a Pinnacle hip, does he?
A. That, I don't know.

knowledge, Your Honor.

BY MR. LANIER:
Q. You know, the evidence is already out there for the jury
that his first hip implant was in the end of the '90s.
A. Okay.
Q. Couldn't be Pinnacle, could it?
A. That would not be Pinnacle.
Q. And then his second one, the documents say it wasn't
Pinnacle in I think 2001 or '2. You don't know one way or the
other, do you?

advertisement.

they?

percent of Pinnacle hip components remain in use."

deals with cup survival, not ball or liner components. Right?

the parties saying it's okay, go ahead and make that

didn't they?
A. I'm sorry, I'm not familiar with this document.
Q. This is specifically those surgeon consultants that you
were saying you worked with closely. Email from Paul Berman
to Marlene Tandy at Johnson & Johnson about inputs on an email
for surgeon consultants.
"Marlene and Janet, Randy, Mindy and I have developed
the below email, intended only for DePuy hip consultants.
This will provide additional context and position the ASR
decision --" that's the ASR recall you worked on. Remember?
A. I worked on the reimbursement program.
Q. Yeah.
"-- in the appropriate positive light with our
consultants. Please read through and let us know your comfort
level before this is sent to our DePuy consultants."
So we're getting comfort level before this action by
Johnson & Johnson, correct?
A. That's what this says.
Q. And this is the letter where they urged the consultants
to start using Pinnacle metal-on-metal and aSphere since ASR
seemed to be going away, correct?
A. That I don't know. I haven't read this.
Q. You can at least look at it right now and see that.

reduction in wear debris, 77 percent reduction in metal ions
versus the Ultamet."
Do you see that?
A. I see that.
Q. And "Pinnacle Ultamet bearings durability, wear
resistance, reduced risk of location." Then they quote that
PIN study again.
"Free of component revision after five years." Well,
now you know that's false. It's not component revision, is
it?
A. I'm afraid I'm not familiar with the details of that
study.
Q. I'm having a lot of trouble hearing you, ma'am.
A. I'm sorry. I don't know the details of -- I don't know
the details of that.
Q. Well, ma'am, you were on the original PIN study email,
weren't you?
A. I was part of early discussions, yes.
Q. Okay. All right. And you just got out of the equation
at some point?
A. Yes.
Q. Johnson & Johnson dealt with the push back from the
Journal of Bone and Joint Surgery issues on the 99.9 percent
poster. Did you know about that?
A. Don't know anything about that, sir.

testified that this poster was inaccurate. Did you know that?
A. I'm not familiar with her testimony, no.
Q. You didn't read it before you took the stand?
A. I did not.
Q. Here's a response that Marlene Tandy has okayed as
assistant general counsel for Johnson & Johnson -- by the way,
she's a medical doctor as well as a lawyer. Do you see that?
A. That is what is here, yes.
Q. Do you know her?
A. I do know her.
Q. Did you know that about her?
A. I'm not sure if I ever knew it. I didn't recall. I
didn't remember that.
Q. "Following DePuy's response to your letter about the
Pinnacle ad that appeared in the JBJS on the 99.9 percent
survivorship, please see the attached reference." And they
cite the poster.
Do you see that?
A. I see that.
Q. Again, Johnson & Johnson signed off on any number of
different things, the Pinnacle brochure, or a number of
Pinnacle brochures. Do you know about that?
A. I would need to see the documentation. I'm not sure.
Q. All right. Well, I -- let's move on in this real role of

DePuy would also trade upon the Johnson & Johnson name
and reputation. I asked you that earlier. Did you know about
anything about that?
A. I'm sorry, "trade upon"?
Q. Yes. It was a reality, Plaintiff's Exhibit 400, DePuy, a
Johnson & Johnson company. Like we're seeing at the bottom of
all of those letters, right?
A. Yes.
Q. "Our own realities, September 2008."
Do you have this?
A. I have it in front of me, yes.
Q. If you'll look on page 22.
"J&J is an attractive organization to work for."
Do you see that?
A. I see that written here.
Q. The company, DePuy people, this is DePuy's realities.
DePuy is working for J&J, aren't they?
A. I'm not sure what this document is. If I just see people
insights, I don't know that that's referring to DePuy or --
I'm not sure what that's referring to.
Q. Well, ma'am, "The Department of Justice agreement is
putting more strain on resources."
That was that deferred prosecution agreement that you've
testified about, correct?

Where you were having to go through and justify paying
doctors and things like that. Remember?
A. I was just checking the time frame of this.
Q. 2008.
A. I bet that's probably a fair assumption.
Q. If you'll continue to look, on page 24 -- 22, 23, 24,
"Our own realities, here are our strengths.
"The strength of DePuy as a company is being part of
Johnson & Johnson, because they can get that -- they can trade
on the brand and the corporate identity and the trust, the
reputation for quality, competence and ethical behavior, the
reach and continuity around the world, financial strength and
resources, recruiting the best, the overall J&J portfolio."
Those are all strengths that the company would trade upon
or rely upon. Fair?
A. That's what's written here. Again, I don't have any idea
who this was intended for or what the context is.
Q. Well, ma'am, in September of 2008 you worked for DePuy,
didn't you?
A. I did.
Q. Weren't you then part of that business intrigue --
business insight? What was it called?
A. Business intelligence?
Q. Yes. Business intelligence.
A. In 2008, no.

Johnson & Johnson award, didn't you?
A. Yes.
Q. For your work on the Pinnacle metal-on-metal. Right?
A. No.
Q. It was for something else?
A. If you can be specific about the award, I can be specific
about what it was for.
Q. Okay. I've shown you Plaintiff's Exhibit 797. This is
the DePuy's Joint News that y'all were putting out for a
while. Remember?
You got the big thing on page 4 with Pinnacle acetabular
cup survivorship. And we got this, Johnson medals awarded to
three DePuy Orthopaedics scientists.
"Award recognizes research and development excellence
within Johnson & Johnson."
Do you see that?
A. I see that.
Q. But you worked for DePuy, didn't you?
A. I did.
Q. But you got awarded the award for excellence for those
people who are within Johnson & Johnson. Right?
A. That's what it says.

Q. It says, "At the 28th annual award ceremony, held
November 7, 2005, six outstanding Johnson & Johnson
researchers were presented with their medals by Christine
Poon, named in honor of Robert Wood Johnson. The prize is
conferred upon those scientists whose extraordinary creativity
have opened significant new doors for J&J products. Three
scientists from DePuy Orthopaedics have been awarded Johnson
medals for their innovative work in the development of the
Pinnacle acetabular cup system," you, Leanne Turner.
"Along with the 2005 winners, a total of 219 scientists
have received the corporation's most prestigious award."
Do you see that?
A. I see that.
Q. Now, ma'am, while Johnson & Johnson may have different
articles of incorporation that you testified to, the role of
Johnson & Johnson on the Pinnacle is intimately involved
whether on video talking about metal-on-metal, writing news
companies about metal-on-metal, giving away awards on
metal-on-metal, approving studies.
All of these things have Johnson & Johnson involved.
Fair?
A. One -- one correction to that.
Q. Okay. Which one?
A. The Johnson medal was for the Pinnacle.
Q. Right. But it was awarded by Johnson & Johnson.

A. It was.
Q. All right. Next subject. I want to talk to you about
testing. You gave a good bit of testimony about testing
earlier today and yesterday, and I'd like to clarify a couple
of things if we can. Okay?
A. Okay.
Q. First of all, you pointed out the company was doing
testing. I think we even had Mr. Quattlebaum's timeline. And
I only got a copy of yesterday's. I don't have the
new-fangled one. But you remember this?
A. Yes.
Q. And on here we're reading about testing. We have --
where do we have testing?
Oh, testing one-piece implants, one-piece IDE. Do you
see those?
A. Yes.
Q. The Ultima. Right?
A. Yes.
Q. What I'm looking for on here is the Pinnacle
metal-on-metal test. Where is it?

A. It's not written on here.
Q. Okay. When did it start?
A. I'm afraid I would need you to be more specific. There
have been numerous metal-metal tests.
Q. When was the clinical study for Pinnacle metal-on-metal,
where they put the Pinnacle metal-on-metal device in people
and studied it?
A. So I would say the start of that was with probably the
surgeons who followed their patients early with the PIN study.
Q. So we don't have it until after it's being sold?
A. Correct.
Q. And if we do look at the studies that were being done on
other metal products, which would be the Ultima, the
one-piece, those are the two that were being done; is that
right?
A. The two done, yes, within DePuy.
Q. Yes. Or Johnson & Johnson. Either one. Right?
A. Yes.
Q. All right. So with those, those studies were not really
being done to measure the biological effects of the debris on
any kind of even a medium term basis, correct?
A. That was not the purpose of the study, correct.
Q. Right.
So the purpose of those studies is not to measure the
biological effects, right?

A. Correct.
Q. The purpose of those studies is just to see what the wear
amounts are to see if they can be sold and if they'll function
in the body, right?
A. No.
Q. You understand that the issue back then -- or one of the
key issues is whether or not the metal debris would prove to
be toxic to the body?
A. Yes, that was one concern.
Q. I mean, we -- I don't think anybody has ever suggested
y'all didn't do a test. I think the suggestion has been made
you never did the right test on the right product to see how
it would affect people's health. That's the assertion we've
made, do you understand that?
A. I understand the assertion.
Q. Okay. So where before the product was sold was there a
test on the DePuy Pinnacle metal-on-metal, or any other
metal-on-metal product of DePuy, that was targeting whether or
not it would hurt people's health?
A. Oh, I do -- I do think that that is incorporated in the
IDE studies. There's not a specific purpose of the test that
requires biologic effects, but the studies themselves are
outcome studies with a comparator device, so I would say that
very much incorporates -- incorporates patients' health.
Q. No, ma'am. Even those, if you look, for example, at the

IDE study, the one-piece IDE, that's the one that you claim to
be basically the same as the Pinnacle, just one piece instead
of two?
A. We claim equivalence, yes, to the articulation.
Q. All right. But, ma'am, that study didn't even start
until 2000, did it?
A. Correct.
Q. So how are you going to get, let's say, five-year results
before you start selling the DePuy Pinnacle metal-on-metal in
2001 for a study that you start in 2000? You can't do it, can
you?
A. We had some information. We had information from
other sources.
MR. LANIER: Objection, nonresponsive.
THE COURT: Sustained.
BY MR. LANIER:
Q. Go ahead.
A. I'm sorry, could you please repeat your question?
Q. I said how could you get five-year results if you've only
been starting the study a few months before you start selling
the Pinnacle metal-on-metal hip?
A. We cannot get five-year results.
Q. So if we want to look at the truth behind the testing,
can we agree that there was some simulator testing that was
done? You talked about that with the jury, right?

it?
A. It depends on which test you're speaking of.
Q. I'm talking about the ones that were done before you
started selling the Pinnacle metal-on-metal 36-millimeter
liner.
A. So that is incorrect.
Q. All right. So you were using simulator studies with the
right clearance that were finished before you started selling
the metal-on-metal liner?
A. I believe that's correct.
Q. You realize that's contrary to everything you've
testified to up to this point?
Did you find something over the break?
A. I think we've had an ongoing disagreement about the
difference between testing and articulation and the actual
part. I'm speaking of the 36-millimeter metal-on-metal
articulation clearance with the testing with the clearances
that are covered by the product.
Q. Ma'am, I'm talking -- let's be real clear.
A. Okay.
Q. I'm talking about the Ultamet, also known as the Pinnacle

metal liner.
A. Yes.
Q. Now, are you telling me that you had simulator studies
that were done with the right clearance before you went to
market?
On the Pinnacle metal liner, the Ultamet.
A. Yes. So I would need to review the exact report. I
believe that is correct.
Q. Okay. You realize that's not what you testified to
earlier today?
A. I believe the question you asked --
Q. Before the break.
A. I believe what I was asked before the break was if we had
the testing before the regulatory submission, not before we
sold the product.
Q. So you think that you had testing done with the right
clearance before you sold the product, just not before you got
approval. Is that what you're saying?
A. Yes.
Q. We'll add "before approval," and what is the test result
you think you had before you sold the product?
A. We had a test report clearly with the 36-millimeter
Ultamet product prior to -- we had that data prior to the
release of that product.
Q. And we know that simulators are best-case scenario for

wear, according to the email at least from Frank Chan. That's
the yikes email, right?
A. Yes. According to his email.
Q. Now, in addition to that you talked about clinical
studies. The clinical studies, so that we're clear, you were
going to market or not from simulator studies, not from
clinical, correct?
A. I think the more correct way to say that is from not
Ultamet clinical but not from no clinical. We believed we did
have clinical information.
Q. Well, actually not for the Ultamet liner?
A. Right. That's -- I'm sorry. That's where I was trying
to clarify.
Q. Yeah. Ma'am that's what I'm trying to qualify here.
In other words, y'all are selling a liner that you
haven't tested in people, and you don't alert folks that are
taking that into their body, hey, we've never tested this in
people until you came along.
You're not telling that to people, are you?
A. We don't say that to anybody about any product.
Q. Okay. Ultima. You stopped the Ultima test once you got
510 clearance, didn't you?
A. The Ultima test?
Q. I mean the Ultima clinical study. You stopped it once
you got 510(k) clearance because you didn't need it anymore,

would have to verify -- I believe the study accrual period was
over. That data was submitted as part of the 510(k).
Q. Yes. And once you got approval you quit the study?
A. This study --
Q. All I'm driving at, y'all were just doing these studies
to get the product approved. You weren't doing these studies
to figure out what was going on with the people?
A. That's not true.
Q. You didn't do 10-year, 15-year follow-ups to that Ultima
study, did you?
A. To the Ultima study?
Q. To the Ultima study, did you do 10- and 15-year reports?
A. Oh, I'm not aware if there have been 10- and 15-year
reports.
Q. The study stopped once y'all got clearance from the FDA,
true?
A. We continued to follow those patients. So we did not
accrue any new patients to the study, but the study itself did
not stop.
Q. And then those studies, again, limited numbers and a
limited time. You don't have long-term results, right?
A. Correct.
Q. And it is -- Ultima is a different product. True?

The one-piece IDE study, too little, too late. Would you
agree?
A. No.
Q. It doesn't even start until 2000, does it?
A. The IDE study, correct.
Q. There's no way you're even going to have one-year data at
the time you start selling Pinnacle Ultamet, is there?

Q. For some patients.
Not very many.

which was started in 1997.

one-piece. Let me add that on it.
A. Okay.
Q. All right.
You had to give a real warning because the FDA was
looking over that, correct?
A. I wouldn't say that's the reason we gave warnings.
Warnings are given with all products.
Q. Well, ma'am, we're going to compare the warnings in a
little bit that y'all were giving with the IDE the very same
year you're giving warnings in the Pinnacle metal-on-metal,
and we'll compare the two.
Will you be stunned to find out the IDE warning is a
whole lot more inconclusive?
A. No.
Q. None of this is the toxicity testing that you all knew
would be a problem with ions and debris, is it?
A. No, I don't agree with that.
Q. I think this predates you. Going back to the meeting --
The jury has seen this. I think you have as well --
Plaintiff's Exhibit 667. This is a meeting where the
discussions were being held about the idea of a
metal-on-metal. Frank Bono talked about how the lubrication
is so important with hard metal-on-metal contact.

cetera . . . perception of metal debris and metal ion
release."
"Toxicity/ion release is a fact of metals. Didn't see
lymphatic tumors with Farrar, but these issues must be
addressed."
Do you see that?
A. I see that.
Q. Now, ma'am, there's no way that the toxicity issue was
being addressed by the one-piece IDE study that's the
equivalent of the Pinnacle 36-millimeter metal-on-metal,
because it doesn't have time to do it before you start
selling, does it?
A. May I have just a moment to read these notes?
Q. Sure. But, I mean, it's pretty simple. There's no time
to check toxicity in a test that's going on for at most a
year.
A. I'm sorry. I'm missing the quote on here that you just
said specifically relating to the toxicity.
Q. Which one are you missing?
A. The very last one that you highlighted.
Q. From Dr. Peters.
Dr. Peters says --
A. I see. So I think --
Q. "Toxicity/ion release, a fact with metals."

different kind of old metal-on-metal hip.
A. Yes.
Q. "But these matters need to be addressed."
Do you see that?
A. Yes.
Q. Here's the question: There's no way those toxicity
issues are being addressed by this one-piece study or Ultamet
because there's simply not enough time to get definitive
answers. Agreed?
A. Not to the ones you've pointed out here.
Q. What do you mean?
A. I -- I believe that his concerns were broad about
metal-on-metal devices, and so a narrow view of what would
have been available with just the one-piece IDE study, and
Ultamet when it was launched is not inconclusive of the
information available regarding metal-on-metal implants for
ion release and toxicity.

metal-on-metals because there wasn't enough time by the time
you started selling, correct?
A. For that study, yes.
Q. Yeah. That was my question. Now you want to say, oh,
but we could have gotten it from other products, or studies,
right?
A. I'm saying there is more information about the topic than
that single study.
Q. Actually, the information that's out there continues to
say that there are problems with metal debris and concerns.
Those questions were not answered, were they?
A. It continued to be a question I think depending on your
source. I'm not sure I would characterize it as a problem so
much as a -- something that was continuing to be investigated.
Q. Well, ma'am, yes, that's true. Maybe the people selling
it didn't call it a problem, but in terms of the rest of the
scientific world, and even internally within your own
documents, y'all continue to say it's a problem.
A. We all continued to say it's something that should be
investigated.
Q. Exactly.
So the answers aren't there, are they?
A. Not all of the answers.
Q. And we can look at the published literature on DePuy
metal-on-metal testing, how many of these are the Ultamet 36

me.
This was your exhibit.
A. About DePuy metal-on-metal testing?
Q. Did you not look at these before you put them up there?
A. I've seen them. I -- I apologize. I've read many
studies.
Q. Okay. Ma'am --
A. For me to know off the top of my head, it's just
difficult.
Q. I'm just assuming before you testified to this with the
jury with three pages real fast, acting like y'all had done
all of this testing, you would be able to tell us which in
fact were the tests done on the product at issue in this case
instead of something else.
Can you tell us that?
A. This covers a lot of metal-on-metal testing --

are even the ones in our case.

title alone I can't tell you which the individual products
were.
Q. Okay. But I'm -- You do understand this is your slide.
These are the studies you brought us in this case.
A. Yes.
Q. But we don't know that these studies were about the
product in this case.
A. Yes, there are studies about the product in this case --
Q. Which ones?
A. -- on that list.
Q. All of them?
A. Not all of them.
Q. Now, there was a study that I just handed you a moment
ago that you were on the list for that the jury has seen, and
that is this Pinnacle study that wound up producing the
poster. That's a seeding study though, isn't it?
A. I don't know what that means.
Q. That means the purpose of the study isn't really to get
results; the purpose of the study is to get people to buy the
implants.
A. Okay. So I disagree with that.

revenue estimate is 4.2 million.

Do you see that?
A. I see what it says.

A. Not the purpose of the study.
Q. Ma'am, did you see the -- even the Mayo Clinic's IRB --
The jury got to see this document earlier -- the Mayo Clinic's
Institutional Review Board said they wouldn't approve this
study because it's just a marketing ploy?
A. I don't have knowledge of that. I'm sorry.
Q. You're on this email list, aren't you?
Aren't you the Leanne Turner on this?
A. Yes.
Q. You didn't know that this study that you were being
filled in on was being rejected by an IRB because it's just a
sales study?

what the study would look like.
Q. All right. One other thing while I'm asking you about
all of this metal-on-metal testing. I asked you which are
Pinnacle. You don't know.
Which of these are 36-millimeter, the same size as
Pinnacle?
Are they at least all the same size?
A. I suspect there's a combination of 36-millimeter and
28-millimeter on this list.
Q. So they're not all the same size as this case either.
Pinnacle? Size?
How about clearance? Are all of these the same clearance
as what you ultimately had in this case, not what y'all had
planned on for years ahead of time?
A. I believe some of these studies specifically look at
different clearances.
Q. So which ones are at the right clearance is my question.
A. I would need to review these studies to be able to
effectively answer your questions, Mr. Lanier.
Q. Okay. In other words, you don't know?
A. Off the top of my head, I do not know.

Q. Now, if we look at your final reports on Ultima, for
example, the final report did not show any revisions.
Remember you showed us that yesterday?
I think it was page 22. Ultima, no revisions.
A. Yes.
Q. Do you see that?
A. Yes.
Q. I mean based on this, Ultima is a safer device than
DePuy's Pinnacle metal-on-metal, too.
A. I'm afraid I don't understand your meaning.
Q. But you sure can't say that about the DePuy Pinnacle, can
you?
A. I'm afraid I don't understand.
Q. Ma'am, if you're really saying that y'all don't have any
divisions on Ultima, then Ultima is a safer device than what
y'all were selling these people.
A. Oh, what I testified to was no revisions at this time
period in the IDE study.
Q. Well, yeah, but 60 months, no revisions, that's five
years.
If there are no revisions in five years, that's a heck of
a lot better product than what y'all were selling in Pinnacle,
isn't it?
A. No.
Q. Yes, ma'am. You would get revisions in five years in

A. You're comparing apples and oranges here.
Q. No. All I'm doing is pointing out that y'all were
comparing apples and oranges, because that's what this is.
These are apples to oranges, aren't they?
A. I disagree with your comparison here.
Q. Ma'am, it's not my comparison. It's y'all's.
Y'all said that based upon this you knew that Pinnacle
would be safe, because you didn't have any revisions in five
years.
And I'm saying to you, if you can really make the
comparison here of apples to apples, then what we learn from
this is Pinnacle stinks, Ultima is really good.
A. I think if you want to make that comparison then you
would need to limit -- you would need to have comparative
patient populations and study controls the same as the IDE for
Pinnacle.
Q. Thank you.
Which is the very reason that the comparison y'all were
making that said, oh, we knew it was safe because of this
Ultima study, has got to be thrown away.
A. So those were not my words. My words --
Q. No. They were what was left --
A. -- were that --

If that impression was left, then you will be quick to
say, no, apples and oranges, you can't compare the two.
Right?
A. May I tell you what I believe my testimony yesterday was
that this study gave us confidence that given the other
comparisons we would see good, positive clinical results with
Ultima, it was not based on zero revisions.
Q. Ma'am, what you told us yesterday, what you told us
today, is that you could even determine if there were
biological problems from that Ultima study that would do with
Pinnacle, and yet when I say do you really want to say
these -- that Ultima and Pinnacle are comparable, you're quick
to say, no, they're not, apples and oranges.
A. The apples and oranges is comparing one clinical dataset
to a different clinical dataset.
Q. Exactly. You just can't do it.
I mean, you understand, y'all put this up yesterday.
Y'all highlighted that line.
Mr. Quattlebaum had you answer the question about no
revisions.
A. Yes.
Q. And you did not say to him, Mr. Quattlebaum, not really
relevant, that's apples to oranges, we can't compare that, we
can't use that to say Pinnacle is going to work well.
You didn't say that to him, did you?

Q. Ma'am, answer the question.
You didn't say that to him, did you?
A. I did not.
Q. IDE, the one-piece study. Same thing. Y'all turned up
the results and you showed no revisions after, what was it, a
few years? Right?
A. Yes.
Q. Does that mean that the IDE one-piece is a much better
device than Pinnacle and we've got another safer alternative
design, just use the one-piece instead of the Pinnacle; is
that what you're saying?
A. No.
Q. You understand the jury is going to be asked a question
about whether or not the product, Pinnacle metal-on-metal, was
defective, and part of what we have to show the jury is that
there was a safer alternative design.
We think the metal-on-poly is the cleanest example of a
safer alternative design, but maybe it's the Ultima. Maybe
it's the IDE one-piece. Are you saying that they were safer?
MR. QUATTLEBAUM: Object to the argument, Your
Honor.

Can you answer the question, please?
A. I don't have enough information to answer that question.
Q. All right. So the IDE study results don't answer that
question either in your mind, do they?
That was Exhibit 361, page 24, where you and
Mr. Quattlebaum put this up and said, look, in that limited
IDE study there were no revisions. Remember?
A. Yes.
Q. Now, what y'all didn't tell the jury is this study was
being done by the guys who are going to make a royalty
interest, a cut on the Pinnacle. It's in their best interest
for that no revisions to be there, isn't it?
A. I completely disagree with that.
Q. Dr. Wasielewski, he was one, wasn't he?
A. Yes.
Q. Dr. Barrett, was he one?
Let's stick with people the jury has heard of, perhaps.
Dr. Haas, he was one, wasn't he?

Q. Just so we're clear, for the FDA y'all said surface
finish clearance -- oops. No. No. No. I'm sorry.
Clearance, surface finish, geometry, carbon. Y'all were
comparing the Ultamet 36 to the Ultamet 28 for the FDA's
purposes, weren't you?

claiming in this nice exhibit that y'all made for the jury, if
they have got the same material, the same geometry, the same
clearance, and the same finish, they ought to get the same
warning, shouldn't they?
A. No, not necessarily.
Q. Well, you're suggesting that they're going to have the
same wear, aren't you?
A. Similar wear, yes.
Q. So you're saying it's got the same wear. And the same
wear has the same wear debris, doesn't it?
Same type of material, right?
A. Yes.
Q. And the same wear, the same wear debris, the same body
reactions are possible, right?
A. Yes.
Q. Which says that they ought to carry the same warning,
doesn't it?
A. No.

same warning, don't you agree?

investigational.

have scrubbed up for surgery before the box is opened, right?
A. They have scrubbed up before, yes.
Q. All right. But here we've got IFUs. Here's the warning
that comes out of the actual IDE.
Then we've got the IFU warnings down here. So we'll be
looking at the warnings in the IFUs for those that went in
during the time period of the plaintiffs in this case. All
right?
A. Okay.
Q. Now, in this regard, ma'am, nothing on those that says
here are potential problems unknown in addition to known risks
for total hip replacement, is there?
A. I'm not sure. I'm having a little bit of trouble
following your poster.
Q. Well, here we've got adverse effects.
All right. Peripheral neuropathy, deep wound infection,
and heterotopic bone formation have been reported following
hip replacements. That's not distinct to metal-on-metal, do
you see that?
A. Yes.
Q. Subclinical nerve damage has also been reported more
frequently, often associated with surgical trauma. That's not
unique to metal-on-metal, is it?
A. Correct.
Q. Dislocation, subluxation resulting from improper

positioning or muscle, fibrous tissue laxity may also occur.
As reactions have been -- as -- may also occur -- let me put
my finger down here so I can follow it.
Loosening and subsequent failure of the total hip
prosthesis. Again, that's not unique to Pinnacle -- to a
metal-on-metal, is it?
A. Correct.
Q. Histological reactions have been reported as an apparent
response to exposure to a foreign material. That's true for
any hip implant, right?
A. Yes.
Q. The actual clinical significance of these reactions is
unknown.
Okay. Implanted metal alloys, now we've got something
about metal, release metallic ions into the body. In
situation -- all right. Let's underline that so that we've
got it.
"Implanted metal alloys release metallic ions into the
bone. In situations where bone cement is not used higher ion
release due to increased surface area of a porous-coated
prosthesis is possible."
That's true regardless of metal-on-metal or
metal-on-poly, right?
A. Yes.
Q. "There have been reports of failure or bone to grow into

porous surfaces and fix components."
That's true for both, isn't it?
A. Yes.
Q. "Shredding or fragmentation of the porous surface has
been reported with potential for release of metal debris into
the joint space."
I mean, that says metal debris, so maybe that's
metal-on-metal alone. Do you see that?
A. I see that.
Q. "Radio lucencies," that's an x-ray, right, "of bone
adjacent to porous surfaces have been noted, although the
clinical significance of this observation is uncertain in many
cases. Serious adverse effects may necessitate surgical
intervention."
Do you see that?
A. Yes.
Q. Now, with that in your brain as the 2002 to 2009 adverse
effects --
A. Can you clarify if that is -- what IFU that product
belongs to?
Q. That IFU I believe is the one that's been stipulated to
be used in this case, but we'll pull it out overnight if it's
different, okay?
A. I'm sorry, I guess my question is I'm not certain that
the same IFUs were used for the Pinnacle cup and for the metal

Q. All right.
A. So there could be multiple.
Q. That's fair. We'll -- we'll pull those out as well.
We're looking though for implant longevity; corrosion of
the metal components; rejection by your body of the implant
parts; cancer caused by tiny pieces of the implant breaking
down and moving about in the body; metal ions collecting in
blood, urine, or tissue, with it not known what the
unfavorable effects, if any, would be from the collection of
these; bone breakdown caused by tiny pieces of metal worn away
from the device; lack of motion or movement; an increased pain
or deformity; a lack of natural moisture in the ball and
socket.
Do you see that?
A. I see that.
Q. Now, we can look at it in terms of the IFUs, but even
beyond the IFUs we can look specifically at the brochures that
you're talking about where you said the warning was given.
Right?
A. That warnings were given.

distinctions, the FDA made the company give this information
to the surgeons, correct?
A. Yes.
Q. All right. So we've got the surgeons getting it as well
as the patient getting it. Because the patient had to
sign-off on this, correct?
A. Yes.
Q. Now, in this regard, ma'am, let's look at your materials
that you say give the warning.
We'll start with the technical monograph. Okay?
A. Yes.
Q. You surely with a straight face are not going to tell
this jury that the technical monograph contains these
warnings, are you?
A. Those warnings. There are warnings in the biologic
considerations portion of the technical monograph. They may
not be called the exact same thing. I believe the elements
are covered.
Q. Ma'am, the way that whole technical monograph was written
was to try to entice people to use this product and not scare
them off.

to include a few more biological effects referenced in the

you for more input as this evolves into the final product."
That's not I'm shunning that, is it?
A. Could you please tell me what page you're on?
Q. Yes, ma'am. That was page number 14. It's the first
email in the chain.
A. I see. Thank you.
Q. So Andrew Goldsmith starts out attaching it, says he
would be tempted to include a few more warnings, but not so
many as to scare the reader.
A. So he doesn't say more warnings. He says more
references.
Q. He says a few more of the biological effects references?
A. References, yes.
Q. Yeah. References to the biological effects, that's what
it will do to the body, right?
A. Yes. But that doesn't mean more effects. It's more
references. Those are two different things.
Q. Well, we'll see as we keep going.
What you failed to tell the jury as you talked to them
about your role in this is you failed to tell the jury about
the role of the advertising agency that was putting it

Q. No, ma'am. What I'm talking about is the way y'all used
an advertising agency to cleverly word and structure this so
that it would make people have great desire to use the
product.
A. That is completely incorrect.
Q. Well, that's what it says on an email addressed to you.
You're copied on this from Frank Chan back to Andrew
Goldsmith, you and Andrew Ekdahl. "As it stands currently
with the advertising agency, we have given them some
literature to read and drafts of several sections. Overall,
the technical monograph is organized such that it leads the
reader from a broad perspective of metal-on-metal to a highly
focused view of our design rationale followed by solid
mechanical and wear data and ending with some clever
summarizing statements that would elicit great desires to use
our product . . ."

Q. No, ma'am. I said the advertising agency was working on
this brochure, that y'all were structuring it in such a way
where y'all were going to have the structuring and the
summarizing statements that would elicit great desires to use
the product. That comes from the email of Frank Chan, who's
putting it together, right?
A. That's what this email says.

this that y'all put a bunch of things in there that are at
least misleading and deceptive, if not outright false, right?
A. Disagree.
Q. What?
A. I disagree.
Q. Ma'am, you got the technical monograph still in front of
you or do you need another copy?

This is, by the way, for the Ultamet metal-on-metal
articulation. Do you see that?
A. Yes.

A. Yes.
Q. Table 9, wear reduction.
Let's at least read the highlighted parts. If you think
that the unhighlighted parts have anything to add to context,
tell me because I want to make sure we get this exactly right.
Okay?
"The Ultamet metal inserts" -- And that's what we're
about here -- "for the Pinnacle acetabular cup system have
been designed for optimized wear performance with respect to
the engineering issues previously outlined. Sophisticated
equipment, precision craftsmanship, extensive quality control
ensure Ultamet meet these rigorous specifications."
Talks about what they're made out of.
And then it says, "While the effects of clearance and
surface finish have been independently identified as critical
to the performance, the true wear performance is dependent on
the interaction of these two variables.
"Ultamet metal inserts maintain optimum clearances to
ensure that the bearings receive adequate lubrication for
reducing wear and friction (Graph 9)."

graph 9 are not even the Ultamet?
A. These are not -- These are not the Ultamet.
Q. Yeah. That's what I'm asking you. Will you admit that,
that what y'all have said is that Ultamet metal liners
maintain optimum clearances, and you reference it to graph 9.
That's not the Ultamet. That's a lie, isn't it?
A. The reference to graph 9 is the circle that you see, the
red oval that you see, is identifying the Ultamet clearance
range. Graph 9 is the same graph that is shown as graph 3 in
the same technical monograph that is talking about the overall
engineering parameters.

the warning, do you want to go ahead and just tell the jury
what y'all took out or shall I walk through it with you?

can pool our respective knowledge bases on hard bearings and
compile a credible, high impact technical monograph."
Do you see that
A. I do.
Q. Originally, there are going to be biological issues that
are suggested here on page 12.
It says, "The potential benefits of improved wear
properties, less periprosthetic bone resorption and lower
revision rates with metal-on-metal bearings must be weighed
against a slight increase in risk of cancer. It is important
to notify patients about possible long-term risks of cancer
due to metallic degradation products. This should be
expressed as a range of both relative and absolute risk.
Current evidence is compatible with a very small increase in
relative risk, but uncertainty remains, and these risks are
currently unknown."
Do you see that in the email chain, ma'am?
A. I do.
Q. But the decision was made not to put that in the
biological issues, to take it out. Wasn't it?
A. That specific language I believe is not included in the
final.
Q. In fact, we can see -- this is in that same chain that I
gave you earlier where it talked about clever summarizing
statements that would elicit great desires to use our product

Same chain.
A. I see where it says that.
Q. Ma'am, y'all took out the language on cancer, didn't you?
A. There's different language on cancer.
Q. Yeah. Let's compare it.
Where's the language on cancer for you?
This highlighted area?
A. Yes.
Q. "From the standpoint of carcinogenicity" -- causing
cancer -- "the available epidemiological data does not appear
to demonstrate an increase in cancer risk."
Huh. That seems a little different than what it
originally said where it said "It is important to notify
patients about long-term risk of cancer due to metal
degradation products. This should be expressed as a range of
both relative and absolute risk."
Look at this, "Current evidence is compatible with a very
small increase in relative risks."
Do you know what "is compatible" means?
A. Yes.
Q. It means that there's evidence, current evidence, is
consistent with a very small increase in risk. Doesn't it?

increase in cancer risk."
Do you see that change?
A. I see the change. And I see different citations.
Q. Now, where in the technical monograph, as we just --
just -- Just look at the whole page together. You've got it
in front of you. And I'll zoom in wherever you tell me to.
Where does it talk about ions?
I'll give you a hint.

Q. The ionic metal, that reference?
A. Yes.
Q. Now, compare to what it says here with what we know about
metal ions just from the IDE warning. Okay?
"In terms of toxicity, it was recognized that metal
particles could cause a macrophage -- macrophage-mediated
inflammatory response while metal ions can elicit an immune
response." That's what it says, right?
A. Yes.
Q. It doesn't tell you what that is. Doesn't tell you what
Type IV hypersensitivity is. Doesn't even tell you it's a
Type IV hypersensitivity response.
A. It doesn't say that.
Q. Doesn't tell you it can eat away the muscle, does it?
A. Oh, sorry, it does not.
Q. In fact, if you get to the next section on ions, what it
says is overall the biologic effects of debris or ion in the
context of metal-on-metal are somewhat uncertain.
"There is an absence of strong data showing an adverse
biological response, particularly with well-functioning hip
implants. But certain risks are present, and we need to
disclose those risks. It's vital that we do so to patients
and surgeons." Right?
A. Yes. There is one additional reference to ions in the
first paragraph as well.

or ions is currently unknown."
Do you see that?
A. Yes.
Q. Now, did you know that the company had spent four weeks
putting on their case and four weeks cross-examining our case
trying to tell everybody everyone knew about the problems from
metal particles and debris. They had been well-known for a
long time. Did you know that?
A. Yes.
Q. But y'all say in here that it's unknown, don't you?
A. I believe that's what the literature says.
Q. And it says in here that y'all -- It is vital that you
disclose to the surgeons and patients, right?
A. Yes.
Q. But you don't do it, do you?
A. We do that right here.
Q. Actually, no, ma'am. Here it says that it's not a
problem. Nothing is known -- You can elicit an immune
response, whatever that may be. And it's somewhat uncertain.
That's what it says, isn't it?
A. That -- that doesn't sound like not a problem to me.

You talked about it earlier today. Go ahead.
A. Old poly -- okay. Yes. Yes.
Q. Talked about history. In here under the history of
metal-on-metal, y'all gave a whole different set of history

than Graham Isaac does in his End Game memo, right?
Picked the best studies possible for you. Correct?
A. No.
Q. Okay. Which ones are better?
A. I could just say this is meant to be a representation --
MR. LANIER: Objection, nonresponsive.
THE COURT: Sustained.
BY MR. LANIER:
Q. Which ones are better?
A. I would need to review them all. I don't know.
Q. Okay. Have you--
A. I was disagreeing with the characterization that
we've --
Q. Picked the best ones?
A. -- cherry-picked.
Q. I can't find any better, can you?
A. I would need to review them to tell.
Q. How about the End Game?
You didn't use the End Game, did you?
A. No.
Q. Those are the studies that Graham Isaac put in there.
You're familiar with him?
A. I'm familiar.
Q. By the way a copy of the End Game was found in Jim
Lancaster's file. Did you have a copy in yours?

Q. Okay. He doesn't give McKee-Farrar 77 percent survival
at 20 years, does he?
A. No, he does not.
Q. He gives McKee-Farrar 27.5 percent at 20 years, right?
A. That's what he says.
Q. He doesn't give Charnley 73 percent survival at 20 years.
He gives it anywhere from 84 to 89 percent at 20 years.
Doesn't he?
A. That's what he says.
Q. So you continue to tell your sales force -- look at what
y'all say about biological response. You talk about
hypersensitivity. Right?
A. Yes.
Q. Where is hypersensitivity mentioned in the technical
monograph?
Help us find that.
A. I'm not sure it's used in that exact word.
It is in the upper right hand.
Q. Right here (indicating)?
A. Top paragraph. Yes.
Q. " . . . Hypersensitivity itself is not known to be the
cause of implant failure."
Well, you know that's false, don't you?
A. No.

Q. Ma'am, look what you're telling your sales force.
Hypersensitivity is a cause of failure, isn't it?
A. It says hypersensitivity allergic reaction.
Q. Allergic reaction, you understand that's a major cause of
failure of an implant, right?
A. I don't believe those are the same thing.
Q. Inflammatory responses. Y'all were even telling your
sales force about granulomas, weren't you?
A. Yes.
Q. Doesn't say those are sarcoidosis. That's a biological
response to metal-on-metal (indicating), isn't it?
Right?
A. I'm not a biological expert, so probably Frank would be
the better one to answer this on this slide.
Q. Ma'am, you were the one testifying about this in the
courtroom today. I didn't bring this up to you, did I?
When he brought it up, he said, didn't you even prepare
some of these slides?
You said?
A. Yes.
Q. Were you testifying about things you didn't even know
anything about?
A. No.
Q. Then let's stay with things you were testifying about,
ma'am. I didn't show you one slide that he didn't show you.

MR. QUATTLEBAUM: Object to the sidebar, stay with
whatever we're talking about or whatever that instruction was.
MR. LANIER: I'll withdraw it, Your Honor.
THE COURT: Okay.
BY MR. LANIER:
Q. Hypersensitivity, 10 to 15 percent is what you told your
sales force, isn't it?
A. Yes.
Q. But you said as a result of this that there are certain
things and that this is linked to failed metal-on-metal.
Do you see that?
A. I see that.
Q. So hypersensitivity linked to failed metal-on-metal, but
what you told the doctors is it's not known to cause failure.
A. But I don't think the slide says --
MR. LANIER: Objection, nonresponsive.
THE COURT: Sustained.
BY MR. LANIER:
Q. Do you see that, ma'am, where you said not known?
A. I see what you've underlined.
Q. It says, "Not known," doesn't it?
A. Yes.
Q. And the slide itself that we were looking at to the sales
force says with hypersensitivity it happens twice for
metal-on-metal but five times for failed metal-on-metal.

So the ratio is a lot higher with the failed
metal-on-metal?
A. Yes. It doesn't say as a cause.
MR. LANIER: Objection, nonresponsive.
THE COURT: Sustained.
BY MR. LANIER:
Q. Ma'am, cytotoxicity, killing cells. See that?
A. Yes.
Q. With necrosis seen in tissues around failed implants.
Where in the biological issues does it talk about
cytotoxicity?
MR. QUATTLEBAUM: Excuse me, Your Honor. Mr. Lanier
didn't read that. It said failed polyethylene implants.
THE COURT: Overruled.
BY MR. LANIER:
Q. "Necrosis is also seen in tissues around failed
metal/polyethylene implants."
No fuss about that. We don't fuss that point in the
trial, so I'm not fussing that.
But that "also seen" means that you do see necrosis
around metal-on-metal implants. Do you see that?
A. Yes.
Q. All right. So where do we find cytotoxicity? This
biological issues?
A. I think you see it in the bottom paragraph to the left.

Q. "In terms of toxicity, it was recognized metal particles
could cause a macrophage-mediated inflammatory response while
metal ions can elicit an immune response."
Now, do you have anything in here that says it will kill
tissue, necrosis?
A. I don't think we used those words.
Q. So the necrosis that's linked to cytotoxicity to the
sales force is not told to the doctors in the biological
issues either, is it?
A. Not described in the same way, no.
Q. So the bottom line, ma'am, is this warning --
By the way, the jury, just as a reminder to them and --
and to the court, do you know whether or not you're the person
who cut off the quotation that's being used in the paragraph
that "The macrophage and giant cell response to particles from
metal-on-metal was described as mild"?
Are you the one who left out the real source that says
"however" and then talks about when it's really bad?
Was that you who --
A. I was not the author of this particular page.
Q. Okay. Are you the one who took metallosis out of the
technical monograph?
A. I did not author this page.
Q. All right. That's the technical monograph warning.
Now, you said there were other things that gave the

warning. Let's look at them. I was having trouble keeping
up. The design rationale, Defendant's Exhibit 931, where are
the warnings in here?
A. That was not one that I listed.
Q. This is the design rationale that y'all handed out to
doctors. Just tell us where the warnings are in here.
Do you have it in front of you or do you need a copy?
A. I do not have it in front of me. If I do, it's --
Q. 931. They handed it out to me earlier.
A. Okay. Let me see.
I have it.
Q. You got it? Great.
Tell us where the warnings are in here. This is one of
those brochures you said went out to all the doctors.
A. This is one I said is available to doctors. I'm not sure
that this one incorporates the warnings.
Q. I'm sorry?
A. This was not on the list of documents that I had listed.
I'm not sure --
Q. Are you saying that this doesn't have any warnings?
A. I don't think the warnings are listed in this document.
Q. Y'all spend a whole stinking page on who the design team
is, pointing them out, right?
A. We do.
Q. And that's page 1.

You got all these other things about how it works and the
pyramid for success and all of these different features about
the shell and all these different ways it works with the taper
that you told us about, the different kinds of liners that can
be used, the metal inserts of Ultamet. Where's the warning?
A. Well, this is a design rationale.
MR. LANIER: Objection, nonresponsive.
THE COURT: Sustained.
BY MR. LANIER:
Q. Where's the warning?
A. They are not in this particular document.
Q. As in there are none?
A. They are not in this document, that's correct.
Q. All right. Then we've got the -- what was it? Then
we've got the insertion technique that we were given this
morning, how to insert it.
I found the warnings for that, D 54.6. These are your
warnings?
Is this it?
Is this it, ma'am?
A. Those are the warnings in this particular document.
Q. Look at what you're warning. "These conditions adversely
affect hip replacement implants: If the patient weighs too
much, is too active, falls down, has bad bones, bad metabolic
disorders or other disability." That's your first warning.

That's not useful for metal-on-metal wear debris, is it?
A. That's more warnings for total hip replacement.
Q. Yeah. I mean this whole subject is that these are the
Ultamet metal-on-metal essential product information.
This is the essential stuff.
"The inner diameter of the metal-on-metal insert must
correspond to the hip head size. If you use an insert with a
nonmatching size, it's will wear faster and fail sooner."
Use the 28 with the 28, use the 36 with the 36.
That's not helpful in terms of these biological Issues,
is it?
A. Not for that particular purpose, no.
Q. And the final warning and precaution, the highly polished
bore should not come into contact with something abrasive.
This could damage the bore. It could affect the performance.
The surfaces should be clean before you put them together. If
the insert is not properly seated, it can become loose.
Now, you pointed to this for the jury today and said,
yes, we put warnings in there. That's not a warning for
metal-on-metal debris, is it?
A. It's a warning for the product.
Q. Sure. Don't rub something rough on this before you stick
it in there, but that's not a warning about biological issues
for debris, is it?
A. Not about that specific thing, no.

Q. Now we've got adverse events.
"The following are the most frequent adverse events
after hip arthroplasty." That's not dealing specifically with
metal-on-metal, is it?
A. Not specifically.
Q. The position of the components can change. They can get
loose. They can break. They could dislocate. There could
be -- get an infection, a tissue reaction.
That's it?
That's what you think is the adequate warning you were
sending out to all the doctors and patients?
A. Well, what's also noted at the top of --
MR. LANIER: Objection --
BY MR. LANIER:
Q. Oh, go ahead. Is there more warning here?
A. "This information sheet does not include all of the
information necessary for selection and use of a device.
Please see fully" --
Q. Oh, so here's where your warning is. The warning y'all
put in here is to say this isn't a full warning. That's what
you're saying your warning is?
A. I'm just saying that the warnings at the bottom are
inclusive.
Q. Well, in big bold print you say this is the essential
product information, but then you say but it doesn't include

everything necessary to select and use a device. It doesn't
say we left out critical warnings, does it?
A. I would consider that part of selection and use of a
device.
Q. But, ma'am, this is one example that you and
Mr. Quattlebaum used to show the jury warnings. Y'all just
didn't read it. You just read the jury the title and said
didn't we put in warnings and precautions and adverse events
with tissue reaction.
But if you read it, this doesn't do anything, does it?
A. I think it does.
Q. Okay. Then there's the surgical technique --
THE COURT: Stop.
We'll hear about that tomorrow.
See you back at 9:00 o'clock.
Don't talk about the case.
THE SECURITY OFFICER: All rise.
