Please note the correction to d9/h3 -product not returned.The reported event could be confirmed the device was not returned for evaluation; however, x-rays were sent for evaluation.No other evidences were provided for investigation.Since data was provided, the opinion of the medical expert was sough and stated as follows: "the x-rays that you¿ve sent indeed confirm the disassembly of the glenosphere and correction of the disassembly after the revision surgery.There are many reasons why this could happen, but without further clinical information and examination of the retrieval this is difficult to say.Most common reason are material interposition at the taper level (blood, debris, gauze), misalignment of the taper during implantation, insufficient impaction during implantation, taper damage during implantation, shoulder instability, disturbed joint mechanics and trauma.For further assessment we would need: early postoperative x-ray of the index procedure, surgical report on both the index and revision surgery and most desirable, retrieval of the explanted glenosphere".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.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.H3 other text: device disposition is unknown.
