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 implanted device.Procedure-related complications are influenced by the type of surgery, a patient's 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.The root cause of the reported event was determined to be traced to non-device related factors.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.
