Additional Manufacturer Narrative

This follow-up report is being submitted to relay additional information.Evaluation of the returned product 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.Additional evaluation identified damage to the sterile packaging (pouch).Sterility has not been compromised.The reported event is confirmed.Review of the device history records identified no deviations or anomalies during manufacturing related to the reported event.The condition of the device when it left zimmer biomet is conforming to specification and therefore is not reportable.The root cause of the reported event can be attributed to transit damage and a 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.
