Additional Manufacturer Narrative

|
This follow-up report is being submitted to relay additional information.Evaluation of the returned product confirmed there is debris inside the sterile packaging which is consistent with the appearance of porous coating.Additionally, evaluation identified damage to the sterile packaging (pouch).Sterility has not been compromised, therefore this event is no longer considered a reportable.Device history record was reviewed and no discrepancies relevant to the reported event were found.The likely condition of the device when it left zimmer biomet is conforming to specification.The root cause of the reported event can be attributed to transit damage and a packaging design issue.A corrective action has been opened to further investigate this event.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.
