This follow-up report is being submitted to relay additional information.The complaint is considered to be confirmed because a plan for a revision surgery was reported and a replacement custom tmj device was ordered.No product was returned; therefore, no functional tests or inspections could be performed.No x-rays, scans, pictures, or physician's reports were provided.The dhr for the mandible component was reviewed; no non-conformances were found.There are no indications of manufacturing defects.This is the only complaint for this item# 01-6546ti, lot# 907200.For all non-custom tmj mandibular implants in the previous one year (from the notification date) regarding revision due to trauma, there is a complaint rate of 0.07%, which is no greater than the occurrence listed in the application fmea.The most likely underlying cause of the complaint is the patient's reported accident.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.
