(b)(4).Upon receipt of additional information, it has been determined that the reported event was determined to be unrelated to the implanted zimmer biomet device.The initial report was forwarded in error and should be voided.The reported event of infection >90 days occurred post implantation.During the investigation process a review of the sterile certifications were reviewed and found to be conforming with no applicable deviations.Devices were verified to have gone through acceptable sterilization process following iso/aami/astm & eu published guidelines.There are multiple factors that may contribute to an infection that are outside the control of zimmer biomet, such as external factors, i.E.Hospital/surgical environment, provider related risk factors, and/or patient comorbidities/risk factors.As there are no indications of a product or process issues identified affecting implant safety or effectiveness, therefore implanted products are not identified as the source or contributing to the reported infection.
