Manufacturer Narrative

This complaint is recorded with zimmer biomet under (b)(4).This medwatch is being filed as a initial although g7 states "follow-up" as it was earlier flipped for non-reportability per guidelines and has now been switched to being reportable to the fda.Review of the device history record for 00515047501, lot number z000005750, identified no relevant deviations or anomalies.Product examination found that the battery pack had ruptured from overheating batteries.The sealed packaging had not been opened.This complaint is confirmed.The reported event claimed that the sealed unit had ruptured before it had been opened.Change notice cn 22170 has been implemented to adjust the length of the wires inside the battery pack.This means that there will no longer be a need to tightly fold wires inside the battery pack in order for them to reach their respective circuit contacts.This reduces the risk of a short circuit.The root cause of the reported event could not be specifically determined with the provided information.The investigation was based on the information that was provided initially and any information that was obtained throughout the follow-up process.
