Event or Problem Description
It was reported that a patient was revised approximately two weeks post implantation due to suspected infection.The patient underwent a washout, and the articular surface was exchanged as an extra cautionary measure.No infection was confirmed, however a hematoma was confirmed.Attempts to obtain additional information have been made; however, no more information is available at this time.
 
Additional Manufacturer Narrative
This follow-up is being submitted to relay additional information.Updated: b4, b5, g3, g6, h1, h2, h3, h6, and h10 during the investigation process a review of the sterile certifications were reviewed and found to be conforming with no applicable deviations.Devices were verified to have gone through acceptable sterilization process following iso/aami/astm & eu published guidelines.There are multiple factors that may contribute to an infection that are outside the control of zimmer biomet, such as external factors, i.E., hospital/surgical environment, provider related risk factors, and/or patient comorbidities/risk factors.As there are no indications of a product or process issues identified affecting implant safety or effectiveness, therefore implanted products are not identified as the source or contributing to the suspected (unconfirmed) infection.A hematoma is a mass of clotted blood that forms in a tissue, organ, or body space.A hematoma can be associated with pain, swelling, ecchymosis, serosanguinous or bloody drainage after a recent surgical procedure.The development of a postoperative hematoma after a procedure can be correlated with the surgical procedure and perioperative anticoagulation therapy to prevent dvt (prophylaxis).Patients may be at increased risk for developing hematomas if they have received fresh-frozen plasma, vitamin k, or hormonal therapy as well.Most hematomas resolve on their own, without surgical intervention, while some others do not.Larger hematomas may need to be surgically evacuated in order to resolve.As timeframes of onset differ due to individual contributing factors, a specific timeframe of expected occurrence cannot be established.The presence of a hematoma increases risk for infection.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.
