    THIS FOLLOW-UP REPORT IS BEING SUBMITTED TO RELAY ADDITIONAL INFORMATION. VISUAL EXAMINATION OF THE RETURNED PRODUCT IDENTIFIED AN UNKNOWN BLACK OBJECT (2 PIECES) WAS RETURNED; IT WAS NOT GENERATED FROM THE OTHER RETURNED AND/OR REPORTED PRODUCTS AS THE COLOR DOES NOT MATCH THAT OF THE REPORTED PRODUCTS, AND COSMETIC INSPECTION OF THE RETURNED PRODUCTS FOUND ONLY LIGHT SCRATCHES AND WEAR MARKS. THE UNKNOWN FOREIGN BODY WAS SENT TO SEM FOR FURTHER ANALYSIS: EDS SEMI-QUANTITATIVE ELEMENTAL ANALYSIS OF AN UNKNOWN WIRE SAMPLE SHOWED THAT THE COMPOSITION WAS CONSISTENT WITH TI-6AL-4V MATERIAL, ALONG WITH O, C, P, AND S. THE WIRE APPEARED TO BE HEAVILY OXIDIZED AND CONTAMINATED WITH CARBON, PHOSPHOROUS AND SULFUR. DEVICE HISTORY RECORD WAS REVIEWED AND NO DISCREPANCIES WERE FOUND. IT IS POSSIBLE THAT THE UNKNOWN FOREIGN BODY WAS GENERATED DURING INSERTION OF THE SCREWS INTO THE BASEPLATE, HOWEVER THIS CANNOT BE CONFIRMED. ADDITIONALLY, IT IS UNKNOWN WHICH PRODUCT IT WAS POSSIBLY GENERATED FROM. IT REMAINS THAT A DEFINITIVE ROOT CAUSE CANNOT BE DETERMINED. A SUMMARY OF THE INVESTIGATION HAS BEEN SENT TO THE COMPLAINANT. IF ANY FURTHER INFORMATION IS FOUND WHICH WOULD CHANGE OR ALTER ANY CONCLUSIONS OR INFORMATION, A SUPPLEMENTAL WILL BE FILED ACCORDINGLY. ZIMMER BIOMET WILL CONTINUE TO MONITOR FOR TRENDS.
