Additional Manufacturer Narrative
Investigation results were made available.Event description: it was reported that during surgery on (b)(6) 2020 the trial stem had a perfect fit, but the final as implant was too large and had to be replaced leading to a surgical delay of around 35 minutes.Review of received data: x-rays: an x-ray review has been performed.All x-rays show the finally implanted reverse system.Therefore, the x-rays do not show the reported event.Surgical report: the surgical report of the implantation has been reviewed, however the reported event is not mentioned.Product evaluation: visual examination: in total seven nicks and indents can be seen on the blasted area and a few scratches and nicks on the flanks.Otherwise, the part is visually inconspicuous.Measurements: the length is within the defined specification.Characteristic "dimension 11.41 +0.1/-0.1".Specification: max.11.51 mm; min.11.31 mm.Measured value: 11.47 mm.The dimension is within the defined specification.Characteristic "dimension 13.63 +0.1/-0.1".Specification: max.13.73 mm; min.13.53 mm.Measured value: 13.64 mm.The dimension is within the defined specification.Characteristic "diameter 13.93 +0.1/-0.1".Specification: max.14.03 mm; min.13.83 mm.Measured value: 13.83 mm.The diameter is within the defined specification.Characteristic "diameter 12.02 +0.2/-0.2".Specification: max.12.22 mm; min.11.82 mm.Measured value: 11.96 mm.The diameter is within the defined specification.Review of product documentation: device purpose: this device is intended for treatment.Product compatibility: the product combination was approved by zimmer biomet.Dhr review: review of the device history records identified that 4 parts of lot 2978912 were scrapped, otherwise no deviations or anomalies during manufacturing were identified.Ncr(s): 3 parts of lot 2978912 were scrapped due to surface defects (ncr# (b)(4)) and 1 part of lot 2978912 was scrapped due to angle dimension out of specification (ncr# (b)(4)).All 17 parts of lot 2978912 were inspected, therefore there is no potential correlation to the reported event.Conclusion: it was reported that during surgery on (b)(6) 2020 the trial stem had a perfect fit, but the final as implant was too large and had to be replaced leading to a surgical delay of around 35 minutes.The product investigation showed that the product has correct dimensions.Therefore, based on the measurements the reported event cannot be confirmed.The quality records show that all specified characteristics have met the specifications valid at the time of production.Therefore, the investigation did not identify a nonconformance or a complaint out of box (coob).Based on the investigation no product issue could be identified.Therefore, it can only be assumed that the final rasp was not completely inserted into the humerus, leading to an inappropriate preparation of the implant bed.Further, as the trial stem has neither been reported nor returned, the trial stem could not be examined and any possible contributing factors to the reported event deriving from the trial stem could not be identified.In conclusion, as the cause may be multifactorial an exact root cause could not be identified for the reported event.The need for corrective measures is not indicated and zimmer gmbh considers this case as closed.Zimmer biomet's reference number of this file is (b)(4).
