Manufacturer Narrative

This follow-up report is being submitted to relay additional information.Complaint sample was evaluated and the reported event was confirmed.The two sutures were returned; however, only one anchor was returned and assembled to the suture.It is unknown which lot number this is associated with.Neither inserter was returned for evaluation.Products were visually examined.The sutures have been cut for both products and both have biomaterial on them indicating attempted use.This confirms that the implants were in the patient; therefore, the complaint is considered confirmed.As the inserters were not returned, it cannot be determined if the inserters were bent or fractured that may have led to the reported event.Device history record (dhr) was reviewed and no discrepancies were found.Review of the complaint history determined that no further action(s) is/are required.Root cause was unable to be determined as the necessary information to adequately investigate the reported event was not 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.
