Event Description

It was reported that debris was found within sterile packages while investigating circulated items.No hospitals were involved.Attempts have been made and additional information on the reported event is unavailable at this time.

Manufacturer Narrative

Evaluation of the returned product/photographs provided confirmed there is debris inside the sterile packaging which is consistent with the appearance of foam debris from the foam packaging inside the sterile barrier.The reported event is confirmed and sterility of the product is intact.Review of the device history records identified no deviations or anomalies during manufacturing related to the reported event.The likely condition of the product when it left zimmer biomet was conforming to specification.The root cause of the reported event is likely to be due to transit damage causing the foam packaging to become abraded and shed.The event is being addressed through the capa process.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.
