Complaint sample was evaluated and the reported event was not confirmed.Device history record was reviewed and no discrepancies were found.The root cause was unable to be determined as the necessary information to adequately investigate the reported event was not provided.A summary of the investigation has been sent to the complainant.A field action was conducted in which zimmer voluntarily removed the reported product from the field due to a higher than anticipated complaint rate for the reported failure.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.
