Event or Problem Description

Additional Manufacturer Narrative
Correction h6 method code.The reported event could be confirmed, since the x-rays confirm the infection of the patient.This conclusion was verified by a medical expert upon review of the patient's case documentation.The opinion of the medical expert state as following: "the x-rays show a peri-prosthetic radiolucency with soft curved borders (well apricated in the axial direction) and with a defensive thin bone line around the humeral component.This finding usually corresponds with a low-grade infection.Since the infection is not aggressive, the thin white line around the humeral prosthesis shows that the bone has time to defend itself against the lytic influence of the infection.Cutibacterium acnes is a commensal skin bacterial species, notoriously know for these kinds of shoulder arthroplasty infections.So, i conclude that this is most likely a low-grade infection with a commensal skin bacterium (c.Acnes), that occurred during the index shoulder surgery with the subject device.Since no surgery is 100% sterile, this residual risk is covered in the ifu and in the rmf of the subject device." more detailed information about the complaint event as well as the affected device must be available in order to determine the root cause of the complaint event.However, based on the clinical opinion on the potential risk of infection caused by sterile packed stryker implants and instruments, ¿any kind of surgery bears the risk of infection.In trauma and orthopedic surgery with external or internal fixation implants or endoprostheses the infection risk varies between 0.5 % and 5 %, exceptionally up to 10 % and beyond, mainly depending on the respective surgical procedure and the typical patient population." a review of the device history for the reported lot did not indicate any abnormalities.No corrective actions are required at this time.A review of the labeling did not indicate any abnormalities.No indications of material, manufacturing or design related problems were found during the investigation.If the device is returned or if any additional information is provided, the investigation will be reassessed.
