Manufacturer Narrative

Reported event was confirmed by review of device history records.It was found that the incorrect model was mistakenly used for manufacturing preparations of the implant but the correct model file was used for manufacturing preparations of the implant model.The root cause of the reported issue is attributed to manufacturing deficiency as the incorrect model file (ie.Without anterior flange) was mistakenly used for manufacturing preparations for the implant, and the correct model file (ie.With anterior flange) was used for manufacturing preparations of the implant model.A summary of the investigation has been sent to the complainant.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.
