This follow-up report is being submitted to relay additional information.The complaint is considered confirmed as there was a revision performed where the implants were removed and replaced.No products were returned.According to the pop form signed and submitted by the surgeon, the revision performed was due to patient bleeding and is not in any way related (even if not the primary cause) to the sternalock device utilized in the patient's original procedure.There was no alleged malfunction of these implants.The most likely underlying cause of this complaint is patient condition.There are no indications of manufacturing defects.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.
