Additional Manufacturer Narrative
|
|
This follow-up report is being submitted to relay additional information.Reported event has been confirmed.Visual evaluation of the returned product identified damage to the sterile packaging (blister).Sterility has not been compromised.Evaluation also confirmed there is white debris inside the sterile packaging which is consistent with the appearance of foam debris from the foam packaging inside the sterile barrier.The reported event is confirmed.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 blister damage can be attributed to transit damage and a packaging design issue.Upon further investigation, it has been determined that the packaging meets the acceptable criteria specifications and the sterility has not been breached.This event is no longer considered reportable.Therefore, the initial report should be voided.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.
