Additional Manufacturer Narrative
|
|
This follow-up report is being submitted to relay additional information.The event is confirmed.Visual examination of the returned product identified the product is etched with 10r instead of the correct size 11r.Other product identifiers are conforming to print.The device history record was reviewed and no discrepancies relevant to the reported event were found.Medical records were not provided.The root cause of the reported issue is attributed to a manufacturing deficiency.Upon completion of the investigation and reassessment of the reported event, it was determined to be not reportable as the implant was the correct size as the label specified and only the etching on the implant was incorrect.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.
