(b)(4).D10: cat# unknown lot# unknown depuy bone cement g2: foreign: country: japan no product was returned for evaluation.It was reported that a competitor product was being revised in a hip procedure.After competitor cementation and stem insertion, the patient's cardiac condition deteriorated leading to cardiac arrest without resuscitation.The patient's age and comorbid conditions remain unknown.Procedural related complications are influenced by the type of surgery, patients pre-existing comorbid state, and perioperative management.Side effects of the administration of anesthesia are a known cause of cardiac stress during the intraoperative and postoperative recovery.Most patients with a cardiac history will have a cardiac workup prior to clear them for surgery to demonstrate the patient's cardiac status is fit to withstand the stress of anesthesia, positioning, and surgery.As the reported complaint indicated, a cardiac complication developed intraoperatively, but any further intervention was insufficient to prevent the terminal outcome.As the reported event was unrelated to the implanted stem, a review of the device history records was not performed.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.
