Similar complaints for implant infection have been previously investigated.Refer to attached summary investigation.Visual and dimensional evaluations of the previously returned product have not identified or suggested manufacturing non-conformances.While non-conformances were identified for some lots during manufacturing record reviews, the documented disposition actions for each did not suggest the likely release of non-conforming product.Zimmer biomet quality management system (qms) has controls in place to ensure the distribution of conforming product.Additionally, all device history record reviews verified that each implant was sterilized per procedure for every device.All complaint data used for the summary investigation was found to be conforming and did not meet capa/hhe/d/ie escalation.Therefore, there were no complaints which confirmed a manufacturing or design related issue that did or could cause or contribute to the reported event.Dhr review was completed for the subject lot number (2019090852).It was confirmed that all operations and inspections were executed as per applicable procedure.No deviations or non-conformances, which could have caused or contributed to the reported event was noted as part of the dhr.Lot was inspected and passed all acceptance criteria by qa.Sterilization record (op0210) was reviewed and verified to have passed all sterilization activities with no issues or nonconformities identified.Complaint history review was performed for the reported lot number (2019090852) for similar events and two other complaints were identified (b)(4).For (b)(4): investigation has identified that the most likely probable causes are related to medical conditions/patient habits and surgical technique.For (b)(4): investigation has yet to be completed and results are not available at this time.As documented in the summary investigation, contributing factors for the reported event likely exist outside of zimmer biomet control, including those related to patient biological factors/condition and surgical technique.Based on the summary investigation, no malfunction occurred upon investigation.The reported event remains non-verifiable as it is a medical condition.The following sections have been updated: b4: date of this report.G3: date received by manufacturer.G6: checked "follow-up".H2: checked follow-up type.H3: changed "yes" to "no".H6: entered evaluation codes.H10: added manufacturer narrative h3 other text : device not returned.
