Patient information about implantable medical devices
Patient Implant Card and Patient Information
To ensure patients are provided with sufficient information about their implants, Zimmer Biomet is providing patients with patient implant cards and patient information leaflets.
Patient Implant Card (PIC)
What is it? A PIC is used to record the details of the specific device that the patient has implanted. It includes the name and model of the device, the batch, lot, or serial number of the device, and the manufacturer’s name, address, and website. The information on the card enables improved traceability of the device if there are an issues or recalls.
Patient information leaflet (PIL)
What is it? The PIL offers a source of information that can be used to inform discussions on the decision to implant a type of medical device. The leaflet may also be used to provide patients with the name and manufacturer of the device, information about what may happen after the surgery, and information about possible adverse events and malfunctions.
