Visual examination of the provided pictures identified the tip of the impactor split in 2.The tip has bio debris on the fracture surface so fracture analysis cannot be preformed.Scratches and scuffs noticed on the returned part.Tip was not returned.No damage noticed to the threads.The tip included in the picture is not the tip that matches the impactor.Review of the device history record(s) identified no deviations or anomalies during manufacturing.The tips of the impactors switched are epoxied, and therefore not to be disassembled for sterilization.However, it is unknown if this contributed to the reported event.A definitive root cause cannot be determined.The reported event is confirmed as picture was provided.If any further information is found which would change or alter any conclusions or information, a supplemental will be filed accordingly.Zimmer biomet will continue to monitor for trends.
