(h3) it was reported that a 65 yo male presented for infection of a left total shoulder arthroplasty.On inspection the surgeon decided to extract 3 components and replace them.Implant (b)(6) 2022 and revision (b)(6) 2022; revised to exactech devices.There were no issues during the revision procedure.The patient was last known to be in stable condition following the event.No other patient information/medical history reported.The devices will be returned; disposed of by hospital.No additional information.Based on review of all available information, there is no evidence to suggest that the reported event is related to any design or manufacturing issues.The cause of surgical revision for infection cannot be conclusively determined; however, it is most likely related to the patient¿s underlying condition as associated with the interaction between the implanted device and the patient due to patient illness, unique anatomy, or other condition that impacts the performance of the device.These devices are used for treatment not diagnosis.
