Manufacturer Narrative

This follow-up report is being submitted to relay additional information.Medical records received were reviewed and confirmed no intraoperative complications.However, no additional records were provided to confirm the reported post-operative complications.The device history records were reviewed and no discrepancies were identified.During the investigation, the zimmer persona patella button was identified to have been used with the biomet ssk femur.Per the persona instructions for use, components and/or instruments from other knee systems should not be used with the persona system unless expressly labeled for such use, as this may result in premature wear, loosening or implant fracture that requires surgical intervention.Additionally, the patient was noted to have a component implanted containing metal the patient reported being allergic to.However, without additional medical records and based on the information provided, a definitive root cause could not be determined.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.
