This follow-up report is being submitted to relay additional information.The reported event of superficial infection <30 days occurred post implantation.Superficial infections occurring <30 days from implantation are considered a procedure related complication as no device has been reported as revised.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, such as this patient's bmi of 37.18.During the investigation process a review of the sterile certifications were reviewed and found to be conforming with no applicable deviations, further eliminating the implanted devices as a potential source for the reported infection.Devices were verified to have gone through acceptable sterilization process following iso/aami/astm & eu published guidelines.As device has not been indicated as revised and 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.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.
