Manufacturer Narrative

Investigation results were made available.Review of event description: it was reported that during surgery on (b)(6) 2021, the femoral head could not be firmly seated on the alloclassic sl stem taper, due to which the head, insert and cup had to be replaced intraoperatively.The alloclassic stem remained implanted.This intraoperative complication led to a surgical delay of at least 60 minutes.Review of received data: no medical data relevant to the case has been received.Device examination: the stem was implanted and is therefore not accessible for examination.Review of product documentation: device purpose: this device is intended for treatment.Product compatibility: the compatibility check was performed from www.Productcompatibility.Zimmer.Com and showed that the product combination (stem and head) was approved by zimmer biomet.Dhr review: review of the device history records identified no deviations or anomalies during manufacturing.Conclusion: it was reported that during surgery on (b)(6) 2021, the femoral head could not be firmly seated on the alloclassic sl stem taper, due to which the head, insert and cup had to be replaced.The alloclassic stem remained implanted.This intraoperative complication led to a surgical delay of at least 60 minutes.As the device was implanted, a product investigation could not be performed.As the stem was used with another femoral head, it can be assumed that the stem performed as intended.The quality records show that all specified characteristics have met the specifications valid at the time of production.Therefore, the investigation did not identify a nonconformance or a complaint out of box (coob).Based on the lack of medical data, and as the stem was implanted the reported event could not be confirmed, hence a root cause could not be found.The need for corrective measures is not indicated and zimmer switzerland manufacturing gmbh considers this case as closed.Zimmer biomet's reference number of this file is (b)(4).
