Additional Manufacturer Narrative
|
|
Visual examination of the returned product found strike marks, nicks, scratches, and poly pad fracture.Sem fracture analysis was performed it was found that the crack did not fully propagate across the component making fracture surface analysis difficult.Hackle marks were identified however due to insufficient surface for analysis a failure mode could not be determined.Review of the device history record(s) identified no deviations or anomalies during manufacturing.A definitive root cause cannot 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.
