Additional Manufacturer Narrative
This follow-up report is being submitted to relay additional information.The complaint is confirmed.On visual inspection, the drill was noted to have a transverse fracture through the flutes near the drill neck.The dhr was reviewed for 01-9198 lot 753330 and no non-conformances were found.There are no indications of manufacturing defects.This is the only complaint for 01-9198 lot number 753330 regarding the drill fracturing.For this part (01-9198) and the previous one year (from the notification date) regarding the fracturing of this drill, there is a complaint rate of 0.1% which is no greater than the occurrence listed in the application fmea.The most likely underlying cause of the complaint is the drill experienced force in excess of what it was designed to encounter; fractures at this point of the drill are typical of excessive force fractures.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.
