Additional Manufacturer Narrative
|
|
This follow-up report is being submitted to relay additional information.The complaint is confirmed as the plunger on the bender was stuck in position, preventing the anvil from moving when the handle was actuated.The dhr for this product could not be reviewed due to the lot number being unknown.There are no indications of manufacturing defects.The most likely cause of the complaint is that the device experienced excessive force.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.
