This follow-up report is being submitted to relay additional information.The following sections were updated: b4, g3, g6, h2, h3, h6, h11.The reported event could not be confirmed as medical records were not provided.The device history records were not reviewed as the event was determined to be unrelated to the implanted device.Sterile certifications were reviewed and found to be conforming with no applicable deviations.The device was verified to have gone through acceptable sterilization processes following iso/aami/astm & eu published guidelines.There are multiple factors that may contribute to an infection that are outside the control of zimmer biomet, such as external factors that may include hospital/surgical environment, provider-related risk factors, and/or patient comorbidities/risk factors.As there are no indications of a product or process issue affecting implant safety or effectiveness, the implanted products are not identified as the source or contributing to the reported infection.The root cause 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.
