Additional Manufacturer Narrative

This follow-up report is being submitted to relay additional information.The device history records were not reviewed as the reported event was determined to be unrelated to the zimmer biomet devices.Procedural-related complications are influenced by the type of surgery, patients pre-existing comorbidities, and perioperative management.Deep vein thrombosis (blood clot), or dvt, occurs when a blood clot forms in one of the deep veins of the body.This can happen if a vein becomes damaged or if the blood flow within a vein slows down or stops.Total joint patients are typically placed on medication post-operatively to prevent dvt formation.Even with the administration of preventive medication, dvts can still develop.As the complaint indicated, a post-operative complication occurred, and medical intervention was required for treatment.Based on the information provided, the root cause is attributed to non-device related factors.Multiple mdr reports were filed for this patient; please see all reports associated with this event: 0001822565-2024-02448; 3007963827-2024-00291; 0002648920-2024-00239.
