Additional Manufacturer Narrative

Section h10: (h3) the fractured humeral liner impactor tip reported in experience was likely the result of a stress riser introduced during impaction, which led to crack initiation, propagation, and ultimate fracture.Additionally, the device may have experienced material degradation if sterilized beyond the recommended parameters listed in the reprocessing instruction which could have led to the observed failure.
