    THIS FOLLOW-UP REPORT IS BEING SUBMITTED TO RELAY ADDITIONAL INFORMATION. COMPLAINT SAMPLE WAS EVALUATED AND THE REPORTED EVENT WAS NOT CONFIRMED. AN INSERTER WAS RETURNED AND EVALUATED AGAINST THE COMPLAINT. THE SHAFT OF THE INSERTER IS SCUFFED AND DISCOLORED. VISUAL DAMAGE CAN BE SEEN ON THE THREADS. THE MAJOR DIAMETER AND THREAD DEPTH WERE MEASURED TO BE WITHIN SPECIFICATION. THE THREADS OF THE INSERTER WOULD NOT RECEIVE THE GO THREAD GAGE RING. AN INSERTER HANDLE WAS RETURNED AND EVALUATED AGAINST THE COMPLAINT. VISUAL INSPECTION FOUND DAMAGE CONSISTENT WITH A MULTIPLE USE DEVICE. SCUFFING AND SCRATCHING IMPACT MARKS WERE OBSERVED ON THE STRIKE PLATE. THE THREADED INSERTER IS ABLE TO BE ASSEMBLED WITH THE HANDLE. THE THREADS EXTEND FROM THE END OF THE HANDLE FAR ENOUGH TO ALLOW A SHELL TO ENGAGE THE THREADS. DHR (DEVICE HISTORY RECORD) WAS REVIEWED AND NO DISCREPANCIES RELEVANT TO THE REPORTED EVENT WERE FOUND. ROOT CAUSE WAS UNABLE TO BE DETERMINED. 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.
