|
This follow-up report is being submitted to relay additional information.The event was confirmed with product received.Upon visual inspection, there is debris inside the sterile packaging which is consistent with the appearance of porous coating and scuffed sterile pouches.All pouches were found to be cut open, which likely occurred during surgery and is not considered a product failure.The sterility, or breach thereof, cannot be determined as the product was returned opened, and the sterile blisters were not returned for evaluation.Device history record was reviewed and no discrepancies relevant to the reported event were found.The likely condition of the product when it left zimmer biomet was conforming to specification.The root cause of the reported event is likely to be due to transit damage.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.
