    INVESTIGATION RESULTS WERE MADE AVAILABLE. REVIEW OF EVENT DESCRIPTION: IT WAS REPORTED THAT AN INITIAL OPERATION WAS PERFORMED WITH CMF NAIL SYSTEM ON SEP 7, 2021. AFTER 4 WEEKS FROM THE INITIAL, SURGEON CONFIRMED X-RAYS AND HE FOUND THE LAG SCREW WAS SLIDING TO OUTER SIDE. THE SURGEON KEEP AN EYE ON THE PATIENT CONDITION AS WELL AS NO REVISION WILL BE PLANNED SO FAR. REVIEW OF RECEIVED DATA: - DUE DILIGENCE: NO FURTHER DUE DILIGENCE REQUIRED AS ALL REQUIRED INFORMATION TO SUPPORT THE CONCLUSION IS AVAILABLE OR WAS ALREADY REQUESTED. - X-RAYS: THREE X-RAY VIEWS HAVE BEEN RECEIVED. IT CAN BE SEEN THAT THE SLEEVE PART IS SLIDING OUT. PRODUCT EVALUATION: - NO PRODUCT WAS RETURNED AS IT IS STILL IMPLANTED; THEREFORE, VISUAL AND DIMENSIONAL EVALUATION COULD NOT BE PERFORMED. REVIEW OF PRODUCT DOCUMENTATION: DEVICE PURPOSE: ALL INVOLVED DEVICES ARE INTENDED FOR TREATMENT. PRODUCT COMPATIBILITY: THE PRODUCT COMBINATION WAS APPROVED BY ZIMMER BIOMET ACCORDING TO SURGICAL TECHNIQUE. DHR REVIEW: REVIEW OF THE DEVICE HISTORY RECORDS IDENTIFIED NO DEVIATIONS OR ANOMALIES DURING MANUFACTURING. SURGICAL TECHNIQUE: THE CORRECT IMPLANTATION AND INSERTION (TLS PLACEMENT AND SET SCREW LOCKING) IS DESCRIBED IN THE SURGICAL TECHNIQUE. PLEASE ALSO NOTE THE FOLLOWING SECTION REGARDING SET SCREW LOCKING: AFTER THE TLS IS PLACED, THE PRE-ASSEMBLED SETSCREW IN THE NAIL MUST BE TIGHTENED WITH THE TORQUE LIMITING HANDLE OFFERED WITH THE SYSTEM, TO PREVENT THE TLS SLEEVE FROM MOVING POST-OPERATIVELY. AN ANTERIOR SUPPORT SCREW CAN BE PLACED IN ADDITION TO THE TLS TO PROVIDE ROTATIONAL STABILITY AND SUPPORT THE TREATMENT OF UNSTABLE INTERTROCHANTERIC FRACTURES WITH LARGE POSTEROMEDIAL (LESSER TROCHANTER) AND POSTEROLATERAL (GREATER TROCHANTER) FRAGMENTS, PREVENTING EXCESSIVE LAG SCREW SLIDING POST-OPERATION. CONCLUSION: THE QUALITY RECORDS SHOW THAT ALL SPECIFIED CHARACTERISTICS (MATERIAL, DIMENSIONS, SURFACE, ETC.) FOR THE AFFECTED PRODUCTS HAVE MET THE SPECIFICATIONS VALID AT THE TIME OF PRODUCTION. NO PRODUCT WAS RETURNED, HENCE VISUAL AND DIMENSIONAL EVALUATION COULD NOT BE PERFORMED; THEREFORE, THE CONDITION OF THE PARTS IS UNKNOWN. BASED ON THE AVAILABLE INFORMATION IT IS NOT POSSIBLE TO DETERMINE THE ROOT CAUSE FOR THIS ISSUE. A FURTHER AND MORE COMPREHENSIVE INVESTIGATION IS UNDERGOING TO DETERMINE THE NECESSITY OF POTENTIAL CORRECTIVE AND/OR PREVENTIVE ACTIONS. ACCORDING TO THE CURRENT AVAILABLE INFORMATION, THERE ARE NO CONFIRMED PRODUCT NONCONFORMITY RELATED TO THE ISSUE. THERE ARE ALSO NO KNOWN DESIGN OR MANUFACTURING RELATED ISSUE TO THE ZNN CM FORTIS NAILS AND LAG SCREWS AT THIS TIME. A POSSIBLE CONTRIBUTING FACTOR FOR THE MIGRATION COULD BE A MALREDUCTION OR A REALLY UNSTABLE FRACTURE. BY CONSIDERING THESE FACTORS AND THE CORRESPONDING USE OF THE SYSTEM, GOOD RESULTS CAN BE EXPECTED EVEN IN THIS DEMANDING SITUATIONS. THIS IS ALSO CONFIRMED BY AN HCP REVIEW. IT IS ALSO MENTIONED THAT A MINOR BACKOUT OF THE TLS IS NOT A CLINICAL ISSUE. THE NEED FOR CORRECTIVE MEASURES IS NOT INDICATED AND ZIMMER SWITZERLAND MANUFACTURING GMBH CONSIDERS THIS CASE AS CLOSED. ZIMMER BIOMET'S REFERENCE NUMBER OF THIS FILE IS (B)(4).
