Checking the dhrs of the involved lot #1923285, no pre-existing anomaly was found on the 6 devices manufactured with that lot #.This is the only complaint received on that lot #.Checking the sterilization charts of involved lot #s, no pre-existing anomaly was found on the overall number.Therefore, products with those lot #s have been properly sterilized before being placed on the market.Device analysis devices involved were not returned to limacorporate for further analysis.X-rays analysis limacorporate received one x-ray referring to pre-operative of the revision surgery.The x-ray received - taken within 7 days of the revision surgery - and two pictures of the explanted devices have been evaluated by a medical consultant.Following, the medical consultant comments: "there is some wear of the pe liner, but this is normal, running in of the prosthesis.The humeral head position seems to be suboptimal to me, a little bit of overstuffing.This might have contributed to cuff failure.I guess this is a mix of cuff failure in a 76y old patient with low-grade infection.There is no sign for implant related failure here".Considering that: · check of manufacturing charts highlighted no anomalies on the components manufactured with lot #1923285; · according to the received information, there was some evidence of low-grade infection; · check of sterilization charts found no pre-existing anomalies on the involved lot #s; · according to the medical consultant "[.] the humeral head position seems to be suboptimal to me, a little bit of overstuffing.This might have contributed to cuff failure.I guess this is a mix of cuff failure in a 76y old patient with low-grade infection.There is no sign for implant related failure here"; we can state that the event was not product related.Pms data according to limacorporate pms data, the revision rate of smr anatomic prosthesis due to cuff failure is 0.63%.Based on the root cause analysis performed and according to the relevant pms data, no corrective actions required for this specific case.Limacorporate continues monitoring the market to promptly detect any similar issue.Note: this is a combined initial-final mdr.
