Event or Problem Description
On (b)(6) 2023, it was reported by a sales representative via sems that an ar-9507rgdp-3 univers revers humeral resection guide malfunctioned during a reverse total shoulder arthroplasty procedure on (b)(6) 2023.During humeral preparation, when securing the compromised resection guide with the 2.4mm breakaway pins to the patient, the surgeon had difficulty driving the appropriately designated 2.4mm pin through one of the available resection guide holes.A couple of alternative 2.4mm pins were attempted without success.The case delay was approximately 1 minute while alternative holes were utilized.Post-surgical inspection appeared to show a metal burr within the resection hole preventing the pins from being driven.The instrument did not break.There was not an unplanned incision.A second surgery was not necessary.The device will be returned for evaluation.The event did not occur during the initial use of the device.This occurred during use with no patient harm.Additional information has been requested.On (b)(6) 2023, the sales representative stated the following information via phone: nothing broke inside the patient.When the device was inspected post-surgically and outside the patient, it appeared to show a metal burr within the resection hole, preventing the pins from being driven.The procedure was completed successfully with a case delay of 1 minute, and no other adverse effect was reported.
 
Additional Manufacturer Narrative
Complaint is confirmed.Visual evaluation noted that the surface of the device was damaged, and all the edges had been chipped.The laser marks faded.Functional testing noted that the pin 2.4 mm did not go through one of the device slots due to the edge's damage.The most likely reason for the reported failure is the wear and tear damage incurred over repeated usage.
