Additional Manufacturer Narrative
|
|
This follow-up report is being submitted to relay additional information.Visual examination of the returned product identified that the product was returned with minimal signs of use, the inserter did not have the anchor attached as the anchor remains implanted, therefore anchor was not returned.One prong of the inserter tip is bent inward and almost touches the opposing prong.The knob and trigger mechanisms work smoothly, advancing, and retracting the inserter shaft.There was slight residue where the shaft meets the handle but no other obvious signs of damage.Review of the device history records identified no deviations or anomalies during manufacturing related to the reported event.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.
