Please note the corrects made to the h6 device code and the clinical signs code: the reported event could not be confirmed since the device was not returned for evaluation and no other evidences were provided.A device inspection was not possible since the affected device was not returned and no other evidences were provided for investigation.More detailed information about the complaint event must be available in order to determine the root cause of the complaint event.But based on the event description which mentions that "revised due to rotator cuff insufficiency" and based on the ifu which mentions that " the aequalis¿ shoulder prostheses are intended for replacement of the shoulder joint to reduce pain and improve shoulder mobility in comparison with preoperative status.Within the indications stated below, the device is designed for adult patients whose bone growth is ended, whose deltoid muscle is functional and with an intact or reconstructible rotator cuff.", the probable root cause of this event is probably due to the patient condition.A review of the device history was not possible because the lot number was not communicated.No corrective actions are required at this time.A review of the labeling did not indicate any abnormalities.Indications of material, manufacturing, or design related problems were unable to be identified as the lot number was not communicated.If the device is returned or if any additional information is provided, the investigation will be reassessed.
