Additional Manufacturer Narrative
(b)(4).This follow-up report is being submitted to relay additional information.The following sections were updated: b4, g3, g6, h2, h3, h6, h11.It was reported that the surgeon received the wrong femoral head (biolox delta femoral head of size 32 s) with a taperloc shaft standard of size 12 for the surgery and implanted these products.As per correspondence received, no revision surgery is planned.The product remains implanted; therefore, visual and dimensional evaluations could not be performed.A review of the device manufacturing records confirmed no abnormalities or deviations.The root cause of the reported issue for the surgeon receiving the wrong femoral head is attributed to the ordering rules of the ordering system not being strict enough (head sets was ¿allowed¿ and not marked as ¿required¿), so that an incompatible assignment of the head sets to the stem was possible.This led to a unintended off-label use.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.
