Additional Manufacturer Narrative

Investigation results were made available.Dhr review: ref#: (b)(4).Lot#: 2708605 - yield: 70 - delivered: 67 - scrapped: 3 following ncr were found: -3 parts scrapped due to damaged cone the device manufacturing quality records indicate that the released components met all requirements to perform as intended.Trend analysis: no trigger considering the following event is identified: stem loosening.No lot trigger: no similar investigated events for the same lot number 2708605 have been found.Review of event description: - it was reported that the patient had a revision surgery on (b)(6) 2019 due to pain.The diagnostic was aseptic loosening of the fitmore stem.Review of received data statement from an healthcare professional: x-ray picture, left hip ap-view (planning sketch) undated: situation after inserted cementless endoprosthesis stem on the left side with a planning sketch.Additional undamaged cerclage wires above and below the lesser trochanter.Laterally recognizable sclerosis line, medially with a significant distance from the lateral edge of the prosthesis.Devices analysis: no product was returned to zimmer biomet for in-depth analysis.Review of product documentation: this device is intended for treatment.Compatibility: as the ref and lot of the other components are unknown a compatibility check could not be done.Instruction for use (ifu): early or late loosening of components is mentioned under the section adverse effects.Conclusion summary : it was reported that the patient was revised on (b)(6) 2019 due to pain.The diagnostic was aseptic loosening of the fitmore stem.The implantation date is unknown.Radiologically, a significant radiolucent line laterally of the stem is seen as a possible indication of stem loosening.Due to the recognizable undamaged cerclage wires in the anchoring area of the prosthesis, it can be assumed that a fracture may have occurred intraoperatively during the primary implantation.Whether a periprosthetic fracture situation in the intertrochanteric metaphyseal anchorage area of the prosthesis stem could have played a role in the cause of the reported loosening of the stem cannot be medically assessed from the available documentation.The investigation results did not identify a non-conformance or a complaint out of box (coob).The need for corrective measures is not indicated and zimmer gmbh considers this case as closed.Zimmer biomet's reference number of this file is (b)(4).
