Additional Manufacturer Narrative
|
|
This follow-up report is being submitted to relay additional information.Visual inspection of the returned product found the sterile packaging seal has a crease/fold mark that runs along the width of the seal.The packaging has not lost its' vacuum seal, therefore, the sterility has not been breached.Device history record was reviewed and no discrepancies were found.The likely condition of the device when it left zimmer biomet is non-conforming to specification.The root cause of the reported event is likely attributed to the operator not following instructions during manufacturing.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.
