Event Description

It was reported there was foreign material found within sterile packaging during incoming inspection.Attempts have been made and additional information on the reported event is unavailable at this time.

Manufacturer Narrative

This follow-up report is being submitted to relay additional information.A visual inspection was conducted on the package.A single hair can be seen inside of the non sterile packaging.This complaint is confirmed.Per the packaging specifications no hair is allowed inside of the packaging.However, there is no risk to the patient as the hair is not within the inner sterile barrier.Upon reassessment of the reported event, it was determined to be not reportable.The initial report was forwarded in error and should be voided.Review of the device history record(s) identified no deviations or anomalies during manufacturing related to the reported event.For the returned product the root cause of the reported issue is attributed to manufacturing deficiency.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.
