This follow-up report is being submitted to relay additional information.As a revision surgery was reported, the complaint is confirmed.No product was returned; therefore, no functional tests or inspections could be performed.No x-rays, scans, pictures, or physician's reports were provided.Three follow-up attempts were made to gather additional information including the failure mode that led to the need for a revision surgery, however, no additional information was gathered.The dhr for the mandible component was reviewed.A non-conformance was created as a blanket deviation for eight tmj mandibular labels that had a manufacture date of 01/01/2015, which should have been 01/13/15.There are no indications of manufacturing defects.This is the only complaint involving part# 24-6550, lot# 575530d.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.
