Additional Manufacturer Narrative
|
|
This follow-up report is being submitted to relay additional information.Reported event was confirmed by review of photographs received.Visual examination of the provided pictures identified a size 36mm head was used with a size 32mm liner and a g7 cup.No other information can be obtained from the image.The device history record (dhr) was reviewed and no discrepancies were found.The root cause of the reported issue is attributed to the mismatched head and liner combination used.A 32mm liner is not designed to use a 36mm head as it would not seat in the liner appropriately as noted in the ifu, the inner diameter of the liner must match the outer diameter of the selected femoral head.If any further information is found which would change or alter any conclusions or information, a supplemental report will be filed accordingly.Zimmer biomet will continue to monitor for trends.
