This follow-up report is being submitted to relay additional information.Visual evaluation of the returned product identified damage to the sterile packaging (blister and pouch).There is also debris inside the sterile packaging which is consistent with the appearance of porous coating.Sterility has not been compromised.Review of the device history records identified no deviations or anomalies during manufacturing related to the reported event.The likely condition of the device when it left zimmer biomet is conforming to specification.The root cause of the reported event for damaged and debris is likely due to transit and packaging design issue.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.
