(b)(4).This follow-up report is being submitted to relay additional information.Visual examination of the returned product identified signs of use (nicked, gouged) and confirmed that implant exhibits wear.Dimensional analysis of the product determined that the product, where measured, was conforming to the print specifications, however, due to wear, the thickness could not be measured.A review of the device manufacturing records confirmed no abnormalities or deviations.Review of the complaint histories identified additional similar complaints for the reported item and no additional similar complaints for the reported part and lot combination.Complaints are monitored per complaint trending process.Radiographs were provided and reviewed.There are multiple undated images therefore a timeline could not be established to correlate to the allegation of dislocation and/or wear.A definitive root cause could not be determined.If any further information is found which would change or alter any conclusions or information, a supplemental report will be filed accordingly.Zimmer biomet will continue to monitor for trends.
