Additional Manufacturer Narrative

|
This follow-up report is being submitted to relay additional information.The following sections were updated/corrected: updated: g4; h2; h3; h6.Evaluation of the photographs provided confirmed the sterile packaging (blister and foam) is damaged and there is debris inside the sterile packaging which is consistent with the appearance of foam debris from the foam packaging inside the sterile barrier.Therefore, the reported event is confirmed.Sterility was not compromised.Review of the device history records identified no deviations or anomalies during manufacturing related to the reported event.The likely condition of the device when it left zimmer biomet is conforming to specification.The root cause of the reported event it likely to be damage during transit causing the foam packaging to become abraded and shed.The device evaluation found no malfunction and the event did not contribute to injury, therefore this would not be considered a reportable event.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.
