Additional Manufacturer Narrative
Similar complaints for infection and / or bone loss related problems have been previously investigated.Refer to attached summary investigation.Investigations performed for hundreds of events where either of these conditions, infection, or bone loss, or both, have been reported, have concluded that the likely cause(s) for the implant failure in relation to these conditions are external factors.Those include medical conditions (e.G., diabetes, bruxism, etc.), patient habits (e.G., smoking, bad oral hygiene routine) and user error (e.G., surgical technique).There has not been any instance where either infection and/or bone loss, have resulted from a manufacturing or design defect.Furthermore, the probability of manufacturing or design defects that might lead to infection and result in bone loss occurring and escaping the available detections has been assessed and found remote and almost nonexistent.Zimvie quality management system (qms) has controls in place to ensure the distribution of conforming product.The analysis and result of investigations and the analysis of probability previously described are contained in the summary investigation reports performed for bone loss and infection, which are attached.Additionally, all device history record reviews verified that each implant was sterilized per procedure for every device.All complaint data used for the summary investigation was found to be conforming and did not meet capa/hhe/d/ or any further escalations.Therefore, there were no complaints which confirmed a manufacturing or design related issue that did or could cause or contribute to the reported event.Dhr review was completed for the subject lot number 2019080043.No deviations or non-conformances, which could have caused or contributed to the reported event, were noted as part of the dhr.Complaint history review was performed for the reported lot number 2019080043 for similar events and no other complaint was identified.As documented in the summary investigations, contributing factors for the reported event likely exist outside of zimvie control, including those related to patient biological factors/condition and surgical technique.Based on the summary investigations, no malfunction occurred upon investigation.The reported events remain non-verifiable as they are a medical condition.Monthly trending to date has not identified any statistical triggers suggesting potential design or manufacturing related issues.Previously completed investigations for infection and/or bone loss, problems reported in association with implant failure have not identified any signals indicating potential non-conformances impacting the manufacturing and sterilization processes.Therefore, escalation to capa is not required.At this time, the complaint investigation has been completed and the record will be closed.If additional information is received, the record will be re-opened for further evaluation.The following sections have been updated: b4: date of this report.G3: date received by manufacturer.G6: checked "follow-up." h6: entered evaluation codes.H10: added manufacturer narrative.
