Additional Manufacturer Narrative
Investigation results were made available.Event description: it was reported that the product was implanted on (b)(6) 2017.Revision surgery was performed on (b)(6) 2019 to refix the bone fracture and to remove the implant due to implant fracture.Harm: s3 - bone fracture.Hazardous situation: implant deteriorates, breaks or loses function postoperatively.Review of received data: no medical data relevant to the case has been received.Due diligence: a discrepancy between manufacturing date and reported implantation date is detected.Manufacturing date is after the reported implantation date.Follow-ups done, no additional information available.Implantation date therefore considered unknown.No further due diligence required as all required information to support the conclusion is available or was already requested.Product evaluation: no product was returned; therefore, visual and dimensional evaluation could not be performed.Review of product documentation: device purpose: this device is intended for treatment.Product compatibility: the compatibility check could not be performed as only the complained product is known.Dhr / ncr review: a discrepancy between manufacturing date and reported implantation date is detected.Manufacturing date is after the reported implantation date.Further the dhr review showed that 2 pieces were scrapped as the thread was damaged due to the blasting process (ncr# 500087622).2 additional pieces were scrapped as they were machine set up parts.No ncr with a potential correlation to the reported event was found.The ncr and dhr review showed that all released products met the specifications valid at the time of production.Raw material certificate: the raw material review showed that according to the document date, the revision of the order specification should be q.20.013 rev.P.The following order specification is shown on the certificate: q.20.013 rev.O.Therefore, the material was tested 100% and accepted into stock (ncr# 5500077982).Conclusion: it was reported that the product was implanted on (b)(6) 2017.Revision surgery was performed on (b)(6) 2019 to refix the bone fracture and to remove the implant due to implant fracture.A discrepancy between manufacturing date and reported implantation date is detected.Manufacturing date is after the reported implantation date.Follow-ups done, no additional information available.Implantation date is therefore considered 'unknown'.Neither x-rays, operative notes, office visit notes, nor device(s) or photos of the device(s) were received; therefore the condition of the component(s) is unknown.Patient factors that may have affected the performance of the components such as bone quality, activity level, type of activity (low impact vs.High impact), and relevant medical history are unknown.Adherence to rehabilitation protocol is unknown.Based on the investigation the reported event cannot be confirmed.The quality records show that all specified characteristics have met the specifications valid at the time of production.Therefore, the investigation did not identify a nonconformance or a complaint out of box (coob).Based on the given information and the results of the investigation, we were not able to identify a specific root cause for this issue.The need for corrective measures is not indicated and zimmer switzerland manufacturing gmbh considers this case as closed.Zimmer biomet's reference number of this file is (b)(4).
