Investigation results were made available.Event description: the patient was implanted on (b)(6) 2018 and underwent revision surgery on (b)(6) 2020 due to pain.The radiographs showed radiolucency at the humeral component, cortical ballooning and varus remodelling.During revision surgery the humeral component could be removed easily.Review of received data: medical data is not available due to patient privacy policy.In addition, only the reference number of the humeral head was reported, although the humeral head is not directly anchored in the bone.Therefore, it can be assumed that the reported radiolucency refers to either the glenoid component and/or the humeral stem.Product evaluation: no product was returned; therefore, visual and dimensional evaluation could not be performed.Review of product documentation: device purpose: this device is intended for treatment.Product compatibility: the compatibility check could not be performed as only one product is known.Dhr review: review of the device history records could not be performed due to insufficient device identification.Conclusion: the patient was implanted on (b)(6) 2018 and underwent revision surgery on (b)(6) 2020 due to pain.The radiographs showed radiolucency at the humeral component, cortical ballooning and varus remodelling.During revision surgery the humeral component could be removed easily.It can be assumed that the reported radiolucency relates to either the glenoid component and/or the humeral stem, but product information is not known for either component.Due to significant lack of information an investigation could not be performed, nevertheless based on the given information there is no indication of a non-conformance or complaint out of box (coob).The need for corrective measures is not indicated and zimmer switzerland manufacturing gmbh considers this case as closed.Zimmer biomet's reference number of this file is (b)(4).
