Additional Manufacturer Narrative

This follow-up report is being submitted to relay additional information.Visual inspection confirms that the drill bit is fractured completely and the fractured piece was not returned for evaluation.The fracture occurred just after the beginning of the drill flutes.The rest of the device has cosmetic scratches and slight wear marks near the collar.Fracture surface analysis performed using sem on the hard bone drill sample showed that is suspected to have fractured due to reverse bending overload.Sem micrographs of the fracture surface showed two possible two crack initiation sites diagonal to one-another.Suspected two crack initiation sites identified at two corners of the sample showed signs of smearing, likely due to post fracture damage.Overload mode of fracture identified in the non-smeared areas of the fracture exhibiting ductile dimples.Previous root cause remains unchanged.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.
