Additional Manufacturer Narrative
This follow-up report is being submitted to relay additional information.The following sections have been updated: b4; b5; g3; h2; h3; h4; h6; h10; h11.Visual and dimensional evaluations of the product could not be performed as no product was returned nor were pictures provided.The root cause of the reported event was determined to be unrelated to the implanted zimmer biomet device; therefore, a review of the device history records was not performed.Sterilization certification was found to be conforming.Review of the reported event by a health care professional found: it is expected that a wound heals in stages and should be of normal appearance related to the timeframe since the incision was made.A surgical wound should be well approximated without redness, warmth, swelling and/or purulent drainage for the duration of its healing.The expression 'wound concerns' or 'non-healing wound' would imply that the appearance of the wound deviates from what a surgical wound should appear.It may be red, have drainage, additional pain, warmth and swelling as well as healing time may be delayed.This deviation signifies an alteration in the wound healing process which can be complicated by patient comorbidities such as diabetes, obesity, smoking, and other conditions that are known to slow a person¿s ability to heal.Wound complications can be treated conservatively or more invasively with an irrigation and debridement (i&d) which promotes healing at the site and prevents further complications.Investigation results concluded that the root cause of the reported event is attributed to non-device related factors.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.
