Section h10: (h3) based on historical complaint investigations and the returned device, the cracked humeral liner impactor tip reported was likely the result of a stress riser introduced during impaction, which led to crack initiation and propagation.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.Section h11: the following sections have corrected information: (h6) component code: 4755, part/component/sub-assembly term not applicable.
