Manufacturer Narrative

This follow-up report is being submitted to relay additional and/or corrected information.Post-op x-ray images of the operated knee confirmed the reported event of the rosa knee system procedure resulting in a notching of the femur of more than 5mm.Investigation of the rosa knee system software application log files detected no error system in logs the potential cause for notching is due to the femoral tracker movement during surgery.There is no indication in the logs that points to a software or system error for the femoral cut.The system had no issue during registration or during resection of the tibia.This rosa knee system was evaluated on site by a field service engineer and found no fault with the system.A dhr review was performed and indicated that there was no issue linked to the reported event.The instruments are confirmed to have met specifications and were determined to be conforming when they left zimmer biomet control.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 report will be filed accordingly.Zimmer biomet will continue to monitor for trends.
