This follow-up report is being submitted to relay additional information.The complaint was opened because tmj tracking coordinator reports that a revision will occur.No product was returned; therefore, no functional tests or inspections could be performed.No x-rays, scans, pictures, or physician's reports were provided.Because it was reported that a revision surgery was scheduled, the complaint is confirmed.It was reported that "the right implant failed and became unattached at the bone.The patient is opting to replace both implants at the same time because the implants do not last forever." the revision surgery date is scheduled for february 24, 2020 and the explanted devices will be replaced with custom implants.For all non-custom tmj fossa implants in the previous one year (from the notification date) involving implants detaching, there is a complaint rate of 0.141%, which is no greater than the occurrence listed in the afmea.The non-conformance database (tipqa) was reviewed for these products, no non-conformances were found.There are no indications of manufacturing defects.The most likely underlying cause of the complaint could not be determined.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.The following fields were updated: b4 date of this report, b5 describe event or problem, g4 date received by manufacturer, g7 type of report, h2 follow up type, h3 device evaluated by manufacturer, h6 method code, h6 results code, h6 conclusions code, h10 additional narratives/data.
